1
00:01:42,367 --> 00:01:43,667
Hello, Miss Prentice,
how are you today?
2
00:01:43,767 --> 00:01:45,833
Just fine, Larry.
3
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:55,067
Your usual lunch,
Miss Prentice?
4
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:56,200
Yes, the usual, Arnold.
5
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:57,533
Right away.
6
00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:11,667
Are you always welcome
where you invite yourself?
7
00:02:11,767 --> 00:02:14,533
(SCOFFS) Tongue-tied.
8
00:02:14,633 --> 00:02:17,700
Take your hat off the table.
I'm allergic to dandruff.
9
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,067
You haven't seen
what's in the hat,
Miss Prentice.
10
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,067
My! What an odd hatband.
11
00:02:26,867 --> 00:02:28,100
What's your pleasure?
12
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,200
Your company for
the weekend, beautiful.
13
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:32,333
A command performance?
Right.
14
00:02:32,433 --> 00:02:34,900
Just walk out of this
joint in front of me.
15
00:02:35,067 --> 00:02:36,333
And no tricks.
16
00:02:36,433 --> 00:02:39,367
Don't be funny.
Do I look like a juggler?
17
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,100
You are leaving, yes?
18
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,067
I am leaving, no, Arnold.
Oh.
19
00:02:44,133 --> 00:02:46,833
Cover the consomme
with a saucer.
I'll be back.
20
00:02:59,533 --> 00:03:01,900
Just where are we gonna
spend this lost weekend?
21
00:03:02,067 --> 00:03:03,667
You'll find out.
22
00:03:16,933 --> 00:03:18,300
What's our next move?
23
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,100
Right into that
car, beautiful.
24
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,633
Take him, Iggy!
25
00:03:23,433 --> 00:03:27,967
The next time you wanna
date a lady, I suggest
gardenias instead of a gun.
26
00:03:28,067 --> 00:03:30,067
Take him to the office
and put him on a leash.
27
00:03:30,133 --> 00:03:31,833
My lunch is getting cold.
28
00:03:31,933 --> 00:03:34,100
Now you get
right in that car.
29
00:03:34,733 --> 00:03:36,067
Come on, come on.
30
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,067
(EMMY WHIMPERING)
31
00:04:12,067 --> 00:04:14,133
Who left you
holding the gag, Emmy?
32
00:04:14,233 --> 00:04:15,600
Oh! Iggy's pal.
33
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:18,633
He was there at
that company
and went away mad.
34
00:04:18,733 --> 00:04:20,567
You go out from here.
35
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:29,067
Iggy, you big lug!
You let the character
get away.
36
00:04:29,133 --> 00:04:32,067
I'm sorry.
I just turned my
head for a second.
37
00:04:37,267 --> 00:04:40,400
"Enjoyed the visit.
Be seeing you, beautiful."
38
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:43,867
I'll be seeing you too,
Mr. Snap-brim.
39
00:04:43,967 --> 00:04:46,200
Behind bars,
if I can arrange it.
40
00:04:47,367 --> 00:04:49,500
Well, what happened?
Did the roof fall in?
41
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,800
Yeah, that joker
was too fast.
Too fast...
42
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:55,067
Spare me the details.
Go soak your head,
Iggy, it'll do you good.
43
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:57,367
I'm expecting a visitor.
A visitor?
44
00:04:57,467 --> 00:04:59,067
Who?
I don't know.
45
00:04:59,167 --> 00:05:01,767
Evidently, somebody
wants us out of business
for the weekend.
46
00:05:01,867 --> 00:05:04,633
The magician or
the rabbit will
soon be here.
47
00:05:04,733 --> 00:05:07,100
Go outside, Emmy.
And leave
the door partly open.
48
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,233
Okay.
49
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:28,200
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
50
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,200
I want to see
Mr. B. Prentice.
51
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:32,800
Mr. Prentice?
Do you have
an appointment?
52
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:36,733
Look here, young lady,
I don't ask for
appointments, I grant them.
53
00:05:44,933 --> 00:05:46,733
May I help you?
Where's B. Prentice?
54
00:05:46,833 --> 00:05:49,067
You're looking at her.
Indeed.
55
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:50,667
A woman private investigator?
56
00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:53,467
You were expecting, maybe,
Senator Claghorn?
57
00:05:53,567 --> 00:05:55,267
A woman, eh?
Mmm-hmm.
58
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:57,867
That may not be bad.
59
00:05:58,567 --> 00:06:00,267
Not at all bad.
60
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,833
You impress me as having
the necessary qualifications.
61
00:06:05,933 --> 00:06:07,733
Just what am I
qualifying for?
62
00:06:07,833 --> 00:06:09,867
A horse race or
the Rose Bowl Parade?
63
00:06:09,967 --> 00:06:11,333
I beg your pardon.
Skip it.
64
00:06:11,433 --> 00:06:14,533
What's your problem, Mr...
Bentry, Colonel Bentry.
65
00:06:14,633 --> 00:06:16,100
Were you
with Kaye Bentry?
66
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,267
You're obviously familiar
of my background.
67
00:06:18,367 --> 00:06:20,467
Who's Who keeps her
in the foreground.
68
00:06:20,567 --> 00:06:23,233
You're the widower
of the fabulous
Connie Forestman.
69
00:06:23,333 --> 00:06:26,867
Stepfather of
William Forestman III
and Judith Forestman,
70
00:06:26,967 --> 00:06:28,833
Heirs to the Forestman Foods.
71
00:06:28,933 --> 00:06:31,867
An empire that
has been parlayed
from a jar of pickles
72
00:06:31,967 --> 00:06:34,133
Into a million-dollar
enterprise.
73
00:06:36,233 --> 00:06:37,533
Smoke?
No, thanks.
74
00:06:37,633 --> 00:06:40,800
Let's get down to business.
Yes, let's.
75
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,200
Just what did you
wanna see me about?
76
00:06:43,767 --> 00:06:45,300
About my stepson.
77
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,133
William Forestman III?
78
00:06:47,233 --> 00:06:49,767
You know him?
Of him.
79
00:06:49,867 --> 00:06:52,067
Well, he's been acting
rather strangely of late.
80
00:06:52,133 --> 00:06:54,733
I might even say mysteriously.
81
00:06:54,833 --> 00:06:59,367
He's made a number of large,
rather odd withdrawals.
That is odd for him.
82
00:06:59,467 --> 00:07:03,267
Now I wouldn't be concerned
if there was any explanation.
But there seems to be none.
83
00:07:03,367 --> 00:07:06,167
Should there be?
Well, not necessarily.
84
00:07:06,267 --> 00:07:09,133
But many of these
withdrawals have been in
extremely large amounts.
85
00:07:09,233 --> 00:07:10,933
And he's confided in no one.
86
00:07:11,067 --> 00:07:12,700
Not even in
the firm's attorney.
87
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,067
Who's he?
Jonathan Lowell.
88
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:18,067
Lowell and I have
been running the business
since Mrs. Bentry died.
89
00:07:18,167 --> 00:07:20,467
I have been
Chairman of the Board,
and he's General Counsel.
90
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,200
Have you tried
questioning your stepson?
91
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:28,467
No. No, I was afraid
that he might
think I was prying.
92
00:07:28,567 --> 00:07:30,500
He's taken
an apartment in the city.
93
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,300
Is he in the habit
of moving out?
94
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,933
Occasionally. But he always
lets us know where he is.
95
00:07:37,067 --> 00:07:38,800
This time,
nothing but silence.
96
00:07:39,467 --> 00:07:40,933
Let me get this straight.
97
00:07:41,067 --> 00:07:42,700
What concerns you
was that there must be
98
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,767
Some strange connection
between that apartment
99
00:07:44,867 --> 00:07:47,533
And the large withdrawals,
is that right?
Exactly.
100
00:07:47,633 --> 00:07:51,600
Is it possible for
a lady of, shall we say,
agreeable disposition,
101
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:53,867
To have him
hanging on a hook?
Bill's no playboy.
102
00:07:53,967 --> 00:07:57,067
As a matter of fact, since
the war, he's been rather
scientifically inclined.
103
00:07:57,167 --> 00:07:59,367
He's no fool.
I see.
104
00:07:59,467 --> 00:08:01,133
If he went in for
that sort of thing,
105
00:08:01,233 --> 00:08:03,567
He'd have the receipt
paid in full before
the first round bell.
106
00:08:03,667 --> 00:08:05,800
Rather quaintly put,
but that's about it.
107
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:08,267
Exactly what do you
want me to find out?
108
00:08:08,367 --> 00:08:10,700
I want you to find out
what's going on down there.
109
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,700
Here's the address,
the number of the apartment,
110
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,367
And the unlisted
telephone number.
111
00:08:14,467 --> 00:08:16,633
Has he had any
trouble with his sister?
112
00:08:16,733 --> 00:08:18,500
No. They're devoted.
113
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,100
Hmm. Could be he's
helping her
live her own life.
114
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,767
(CHUCKLING)
Judith lives her own life,
inside or outside the house.
115
00:08:24,867 --> 00:08:27,800
In order to
identify Bill Forestman,
I'll have to meet him.
116
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:29,767
I never leave
anything to chance.
117
00:08:29,867 --> 00:08:33,767
He's spending the day at home.
Why don't you drop by?
I'll introduce you.
118
00:08:33,867 --> 00:08:36,633
Oh. We'd have to have
some reason for
your being there.
119
00:08:36,733 --> 00:08:37,867
You're interested in art.
120
00:08:37,967 --> 00:08:40,133
I'm an expert going to
a private sale with you.
121
00:08:40,233 --> 00:08:42,133
To guard against fraud.
Excellent.
122
00:08:42,233 --> 00:08:43,767
You'll find my address
on the back of that card.
123
00:08:43,867 --> 00:08:47,067
I'll drop by later.
Oh, and one other thing.
My rates.
124
00:08:47,133 --> 00:08:49,967
Seventy five dollars a day,
and expenses.
125
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,700
Well, there you are.
One week in advance,
Miss Prentice.
126
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,533
My secretary will
give you a receipt.
127
00:08:56,633 --> 00:08:58,833
That won't be necessary.
Good day.
128
00:09:05,967 --> 00:09:08,100
If I ever heard
a phony setup, that's it.
129
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,967
What do you care?
We're paid in advance.
130
00:09:10,067 --> 00:09:12,467
Okay, what's the pitch?
Get your hat.
131
00:09:12,567 --> 00:09:15,433
We're gonna see
if that apartment
is accessible.
132
00:09:36,233 --> 00:09:37,733
Uh-oh, Snap-brim.
133
00:09:52,967 --> 00:09:55,700
You better make up
some more solution, Chicago.
134
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,100
Okay, professor.
Good bye.
135
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,200
Is the invitation
for the shotgun
weekend still open?
136
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:12,533
I beg your pardon?
Don't be cute.
137
00:10:12,633 --> 00:10:16,133
Look, sister, I don't know
what you're trying to peddle,
but I ain't buyin' any.
138
00:10:16,233 --> 00:10:17,400
Not so fast.
139
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:19,200
I'm curious why
guys with cap pistols
140
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:22,100
Wanna take ladies
they don't know on
weekends they don't want.
141
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,300
Especially pretty ladies.
That's kidnapping, in my book.
142
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,100
Listen, muscles, if you want
the fear six treatment,
I can give it to you.
143
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,833
But I admonish the shakedown,
so I'll beat it.
144
00:10:31,933 --> 00:10:35,067
And if you're smart,
you'll stay away
from this layout.
145
00:10:38,733 --> 00:10:41,767
Imagine that guy
trying to play dumb on us.
146
00:10:41,867 --> 00:10:44,067
Could he be our boy,
Forestman?
Nah.
147
00:10:44,167 --> 00:10:45,933
Too rough at the seams.
148
00:10:46,033 --> 00:10:47,433
I wonder who grandpa is.
149
00:10:47,533 --> 00:10:49,533
Who?
The old guy.
150
00:10:49,633 --> 00:10:52,333
He may be the guy
giving the orders.
151
00:10:52,433 --> 00:10:56,000
How soon can you find out
who he is? And why he fits
into Forestman's picture.
152
00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:57,967
He might be a sucker
and go for the bait.
153
00:10:58,067 --> 00:11:00,700
I can play enquiring
photographer and get our
answers real quick.
154
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,067
Good. Hop to it. Then grab
a cab and meet me outside
the Bentry estate.
155
00:12:14,633 --> 00:12:17,233
Yes, miss?
I have an appointment
with Colonel Bentry.
156
00:12:17,333 --> 00:12:19,767
Your name?
Miss Prentice.
157
00:12:19,867 --> 00:12:23,400
If you'll take a seat,
I'll enquire if he's
at liberty to see you.
158
00:12:38,733 --> 00:12:41,667
Mr. William!
Mr. William!
159
00:12:41,767 --> 00:12:45,633
Everybody, come quickly!
Something has
happened to the Colonel.
160
00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:47,633
Mr. William!
161
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,133
Severance, call Dr. Richards
and Mr. Lowell.
162
00:13:11,233 --> 00:13:13,733
They're on the roof terrace.
Yes, sir.
163
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,967
Who are you?
164
00:13:17,067 --> 00:13:19,333
Belinda Prentice,
art investigator.
165
00:13:19,433 --> 00:13:20,833
I was employed
by Colonel Bentry
166
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:23,100
To examine some purchases
he was planning to make.
167
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,500
I just arrived.
168
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,333
I don't want to intrude,
Mr. Forestman,
169
00:13:26,433 --> 00:13:29,933
But that letter opener
sticking in the Colonel's
chest isn't a scarf pin.
170
00:13:30,067 --> 00:13:32,533
In case of homicide,
I suggest you call the police.
171
00:13:32,633 --> 00:13:35,567
If you don't mind,
Miss Prentice,
I'll handle this myself.
172
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,633
What's the trouble?
The Colonel's dead.
173
00:14:05,733 --> 00:14:07,500
I can't believe it.
174
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,933
Isn't it strange, Doctor,
that there's so little blood
from a wound like that?
175
00:14:22,067 --> 00:14:25,567
Yes, it is.
What did you have in mind?
176
00:14:25,667 --> 00:14:28,400
Perhaps a heart attack.
Perhaps something else.
177
00:14:29,367 --> 00:14:30,700
Who is this young woman?
178
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,133
Someone the Colonel hired.
179
00:14:32,233 --> 00:14:34,700
She had just arrived.
I see.
180
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,933
I examined
the Colonel recently.
181
00:14:37,067 --> 00:14:40,833
He was in sound shape.
Just a little tired.
182
00:14:40,933 --> 00:14:44,133
I recommended a series
of vitamin injections.
183
00:14:44,233 --> 00:14:46,833
I was certain
he'd be all right.
184
00:14:46,933 --> 00:14:49,600
Do you rule out
a heart attack
altogether, Doctor?
185
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:53,500
It could hardly be a heart
attack with a letter opener
sticking in his chest.
186
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:56,500
Perhaps I'd
better call the police.
187
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,100
I'll do it. I'll try
to keep this as quiet
as possible, William.
188
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:02,500
Murder makes noise.
189
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,733
And headlines, Mr. Lowell.
190
00:15:09,333 --> 00:15:10,500
Give me the police.
191
00:15:12,733 --> 00:15:15,167
What's wrong, Bill?
192
00:15:15,267 --> 00:15:19,133
The Colonel's met
with an accident, Judy.
A bad accident.
193
00:15:19,233 --> 00:15:21,267
(SOBBING) He's dead.
I know he's dead.
194
00:15:21,367 --> 00:15:23,200
Judy, calm down.
195
00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:25,433
Miss Keets,
take her to her room
and stay with her.
196
00:15:25,533 --> 00:15:27,767
(WEEPING)
Yes, Mr. William.
197
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,367
(SIRENS WAILING)
198
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:08,833
Hello, Severance.
Hello, Inspector Prentice.
199
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,800
What are you doing here?
200
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:17,133
Business.
Don't get into mine.
201
00:16:19,433 --> 00:16:21,867
I'm Inspector Prentice,
homicide.
Where's the body?
202
00:16:21,967 --> 00:16:23,100
Over there, Inspector.
203
00:16:25,167 --> 00:16:27,067
We've got some routine
police work to do here,
204
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:29,867
So if you people will step out
into the hall, matters will
move more swiftly.
205
00:16:29,967 --> 00:16:31,900
Which one of
you is Forestman?
I'm Forestman.
206
00:16:32,067 --> 00:16:34,300
All right, we'll need
a room to conduct
a preliminary investigation.
207
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,067
Purely routine.
Very well.
208
00:16:36,167 --> 00:16:38,400
Severance will
show you to the den.
209
00:16:40,067 --> 00:16:43,967
Okay, Doc, do your stuff.
Get at it, boys.
210
00:16:44,067 --> 00:16:46,533
I'll call you
in one at a time.
First, Miss Prentice.
211
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,800
You know this
young lady, Inspector?
212
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:52,067
Well, I ought to.
She's my daughter.
213
00:16:52,167 --> 00:16:53,933
Then you'll probably
know about her being hired
214
00:16:54,067 --> 00:16:56,233
By the Colonel to
investigate some artwork.
215
00:16:56,333 --> 00:16:57,933
No, I didn't.
216
00:16:58,067 --> 00:17:00,433
But I'll soon
find out about that.
217
00:17:16,267 --> 00:17:19,200
Don't look so innocent.
Now why are you here?
218
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:21,067
(INNOCENTLY) Me?
219
00:17:21,167 --> 00:17:25,100
Colonel Bentry employed me
to trace down some forgeries
in so-called classic art.
220
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,633
(SCORNFULLY) Classic art.
You didn't pass
fourth grade drawing.
221
00:17:29,733 --> 00:17:32,733
You wouldn't know
an old master from
a whitewashed barn.
222
00:17:32,833 --> 00:17:34,067
Now what's the dodge?
223
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:36,833
You're dating yourself, Dad.
Today, the word is "pitch."
224
00:17:36,933 --> 00:17:40,467
Pitch, dodge,
caper, who cares?
What's your angle?
225
00:17:40,567 --> 00:17:43,333
What I'm doing
here is strictly
none of your business.
226
00:17:43,433 --> 00:17:44,867
Don't get sassy.
227
00:17:44,967 --> 00:17:47,800
You obstruct
the law and I'll jog ya,
daughter or no daughter.
228
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:49,633
Oh, how sweet.
I can just see it.
229
00:17:49,733 --> 00:17:52,867
"Irate papa jogs daughter
for fouling up
his murder case."
230
00:17:52,967 --> 00:17:54,933
Who called it murder
in the first place?
231
00:17:55,067 --> 00:17:57,267
I guess I did.
On what grounds?
232
00:17:57,367 --> 00:17:59,867
Well, he wasn't
tickling himself with
that letter opener.
233
00:18:00,067 --> 00:18:01,767
Who let you in?
Severance.
234
00:18:01,867 --> 00:18:04,600
Then he went to
the library to announce me,
and found the Colonel dead.
235
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:06,767
How long was he gone?
236
00:18:06,867 --> 00:18:08,767
Possibly a few seconds.
I'm not sure.
237
00:18:08,867 --> 00:18:11,333
Why aren't you sure?
You're sure of
everything else.
238
00:18:11,433 --> 00:18:13,467
I was thinking.
About what?
239
00:18:14,533 --> 00:18:16,533
Just thinking.
(CHUCKLING)
240
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:21,133
You always were
an unconvincing liar, Belinda.
241
00:18:21,233 --> 00:18:23,867
Remember, I've been calling
fibs on you ever since
you were born,
242
00:18:23,967 --> 00:18:25,600
And I still can,
so give up.
243
00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:27,500
Honest Injun,
that's all I know.
244
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,733
Forestman told Severance...
The butler,
or whatever he is...
245
00:18:30,833 --> 00:18:33,967
By the way, who is he?
Reformed drunk.
246
00:18:34,067 --> 00:18:37,400
Disbarred lawyer.
Used to be quite
a figure of a man.
247
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:41,633
Some old guy downtown brought
him back with some newfangled
cure for alcoholics.
248
00:18:41,733 --> 00:18:42,933
I see.
249
00:18:43,067 --> 00:18:44,767
Well, what was it
Forestman told Severance?
250
00:18:44,867 --> 00:18:46,267
To get the doctor
and Lowell.
251
00:18:46,367 --> 00:18:48,633
I told him to call the police,
but he waited for Lowell.
252
00:18:48,733 --> 00:18:50,433
He did? Why?
I don't know.
253
00:18:50,533 --> 00:18:53,867
Anyway, Lowell told Forestman
that he'd try to keep
it as quiet as possible.
254
00:18:53,967 --> 00:18:55,733
Meaning little or no
publicity, I suppose.
255
00:18:55,833 --> 00:18:59,333
Yeah. Trying to keep
a secret of a stiff like
the famous Colonel
256
00:18:59,433 --> 00:19:02,300
Is like trying to hide
the Statue of Liberty
in a telephone booth.
257
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,200
Yeah. Well, you keep
your nose clean.
258
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:07,733
No matter what your business
was with Colonel Bentry,
259
00:19:07,833 --> 00:19:09,500
This is a matter
for the police.
260
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,667
And no private eyes digging
into this case while I'm in
charge. Do you understand?
261
00:19:12,767 --> 00:19:16,067
You're old-fashioned, Dad.
It's private operator.
262
00:19:16,133 --> 00:19:17,400
Don't get sassy.
263
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:19,633
Now may I go?
No, stick around
the house for a while.
264
00:19:19,733 --> 00:19:22,233
I may wanna talk to you later.
And send Severance
in on your way out.
265
00:19:22,333 --> 00:19:23,733
Okay.
266
00:19:23,833 --> 00:19:26,600
By the way,
what's a guy like Severance
doing in a setup like this?
267
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:29,467
You take care of
the phony art, and I'll
take care of the suspects.
268
00:19:29,567 --> 00:19:31,167
Just thought I'd ask.
Yeah.
269
00:19:31,267 --> 00:19:32,967
Well, I just thought
I wouldn't tell ya.
270
00:19:33,067 --> 00:19:34,500
As if you knew!
271
00:19:37,533 --> 00:19:38,800
(DOOR CLOSING)
272
00:19:41,567 --> 00:19:42,933
You're next.
273
00:19:44,067 --> 00:19:45,700
And just where do
you think you're going?
274
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,967
Inspector's permission, Eddie.
Special detail.
275
00:19:49,067 --> 00:19:50,867
That makes a difference.
276
00:19:54,933 --> 00:19:56,067
Get going, Iggy.
277
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:58,400
Where to?
That apartment downtown.
278
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,667
What's up?
Our client was murdered.
279
00:20:11,767 --> 00:20:14,467
What? Who's in charge?
My father.
280
00:20:15,133 --> 00:20:17,300
Good. That gives us an out.
281
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,500
Now how about us going
and getting something to eat?
282
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,233
Can't you keep your mind
above your waistline?
283
00:20:22,333 --> 00:20:24,233
We can't give our
client back his retainer,
284
00:20:24,333 --> 00:20:27,133
But we certainly can respect
his memory by giving him
his money's worth.
285
00:20:27,233 --> 00:20:28,933
Oh, I suppose so.
286
00:20:29,033 --> 00:20:30,933
Say, what's with this
Forestman's apartment?
287
00:20:31,033 --> 00:20:33,433
Any connection?
I don't know.
288
00:20:33,533 --> 00:20:35,567
Could be
Mr. William Forestman III
who's the one
289
00:20:35,667 --> 00:20:38,033
Who's trying to avoid
private eye trouble.
290
00:20:38,133 --> 00:20:40,467
Sure is
a screwy setup.
291
00:20:40,567 --> 00:20:43,333
Say, what did you
find out about the old
man you followed?
292
00:20:43,433 --> 00:20:46,467
He's Morris Ordson,
a retired professor.
293
00:20:46,567 --> 00:20:50,367
Some kind of a scientist.
He's running a mission down
in the industrial section.
294
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,933
Reformer?
Sort of.
295
00:20:53,033 --> 00:20:55,833
He's experimenting
with a cure for alcoholism.
296
00:20:55,933 --> 00:20:59,333
Well, that checks.
That's how Severance
got into the Bentry estate.
297
00:20:59,433 --> 00:21:02,633
Who?
A disbarred lawyer
and a reformed drunk.
298
00:21:02,733 --> 00:21:05,467
He switched from
a mouthpiece
to a manservant.
299
00:21:05,567 --> 00:21:06,833
But I wonder why.
300
00:21:06,933 --> 00:21:09,767
He probably got admitted
to the bar too often.
301
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:22,600
Give me
the master keys, Iggy.
What for?
302
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:24,067
I'm gonna go look
over that apartment.
303
00:21:24,167 --> 00:21:26,667
Oh, wait a minute...
Come on, Iggy!
304
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,867
Okay.
305
00:21:29,967 --> 00:21:31,833
You stay here.
306
00:21:31,933 --> 00:21:34,767
Now suppose
there's something...
Sit tight!
307
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,533
Woe is me,
here comes trouble.
308
00:23:38,333 --> 00:23:41,333
MORRIS:
Shut that door, you fool!
I'll be right out.
309
00:23:48,167 --> 00:23:49,933
(KEY TURNING IN LOCK)
310
00:24:05,767 --> 00:24:07,700
What's the matter
with you, Chicago?
311
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,133
You should know better
than to open that
door when I'm working.
312
00:24:11,233 --> 00:24:14,133
What are you talking about?
I just came in.
313
00:24:14,233 --> 00:24:17,233
But somebody opened that door
a few minutes ago.
314
00:24:52,833 --> 00:24:55,933
Why did you do that?
Bill doesn't want any
snoopers around here.
315
00:24:56,067 --> 00:24:58,533
Neither would he
approve of violence.
316
00:24:58,633 --> 00:25:02,233
Look, Professor, you do
your job and I'll take care
of the wise guys.
317
00:25:02,333 --> 00:25:04,267
This is getting monotonous.
318
00:25:04,367 --> 00:25:08,533
Yeah, ain't it?
How long will that knot
you call a head hold out?
319
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:10,400
Longer than you think, bud.
320
00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:12,133
I wish your
girlfriend was here.
321
00:25:12,633 --> 00:25:14,067
I'll bet you do.
322
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,067
Still wanna take her
out for that weekend?
323
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:17,500
Shut up!
324
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,933
I demand that you
stop this brutality.
325
00:25:20,067 --> 00:25:22,600
If you don't like
this show, Professor,
why don't you take a powder?
326
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:24,067
I will.
327
00:25:28,267 --> 00:25:30,667
But I intend to report
this to Mr. Forestman.
328
00:25:30,767 --> 00:25:32,500
That's okay with me.
329
00:25:34,867 --> 00:25:36,800
Come on, big stuff. Get up.
330
00:25:38,067 --> 00:25:40,067
You and me are

00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:42,133
Yes, kinda stuffy
in here, ain't it?

more ventilation.

He's slightly sore.
He always is.
336
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,667
You know, you can get
five years for impersonating
a police officer.
337
00:28:38,767 --> 00:28:40,367
Me?
Let me see
the tin you flashed
338
00:28:40,467 --> 00:28:42,167
To get out of that house.
339
00:28:48,767 --> 00:28:50,700
It's mine.
340
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,067
My own flesh and blood,
a pickpocket.
Well, I'll be hanged.
341
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:55,667
Maybe you think I should be.
342
00:28:55,767 --> 00:28:58,833
What've you been up to?
Running my business now?
343
00:28:58,933 --> 00:29:01,467
Don't get sassy.
Murder is my business.
344
00:29:01,567 --> 00:29:04,200
And I don't think
Bentry was murdered,
and neither does the coroner.
345
00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:06,067
He was dead
before he was stabbed.
346
00:29:06,167 --> 00:29:07,867
I knew that.
How'd you know?
347
00:29:07,967 --> 00:29:09,467
After all, Dad,
I was there.
348
00:29:09,567 --> 00:29:12,967
If he'd been stabbed
to death, there would've
been plenty of gore.
349
00:29:13,067 --> 00:29:15,633
I have a clue that might
prove he was poisoned.
350
00:29:15,733 --> 00:29:18,833
Poisoned?
Yes, poisoned.
I'll show you something.
351
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,200
I found this beside the chair
Bentry was sitting in.
352
00:29:23,300 --> 00:29:25,700
I hope to find
the syringe it came from.
353
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,333
I've told you the penalty
for withholding evidence,
haven't I?
354
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:32,733
Yes. And if I weren't
interested in stopping you
from calling his death
355
00:29:32,833 --> 00:29:36,733
The result of a heart attack,
I wouldn't have
given it to you now.
356
00:29:36,833 --> 00:29:38,933
Did you know Bentry
was getting vitamin shots?
357
00:29:39,067 --> 00:29:42,100
Yes, and if you find out
who gave him the last one,
358
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,233
You'll have your murderer.
359
00:29:44,333 --> 00:29:46,700
As easy as that,
huh, daughter?
Mmm-hmm.

another date.

Look, you trying
to get rid of me?
363
00:29:53,733 --> 00:29:55,333
No, I just have
another case.
364

What case?
That's my business,
not yours.
365

Don't get sassy.
If I find it has anything
to do with my case,
366
00:30:00,567 --> 00:30:02,333
I'll make it my business.
367
00:30:02,433 --> 00:30:04,100
I'll get this

about obstructing the law.

Here?
How did you
know my address?

gave it to me.
380

As a matter of fact,
that's what I wanna
talk to you about.
381

Oh. Well, in that case,
come right over. Fine.
382

You're as jumpy
as a taxi meter.

You're crazy.

Who was that
on the phone?
385
00:31:06,533 --> 00:31:09,567
A friend of dad's.
A lady detective.

00:31:09,667 --> 00:31:11,833
She coming up here?
Yeah, why?

Oh, dames get on my nerves.
I think I'll shove off.

playing at the show
around the corner,

over anyway.

will you mix
some more solution?

didn't waste any time
getting over here.

Thank you for seeing me.

Naturally, I'm interested
in anything pertaining
to the Colonel.
406
00:32:53,067 --> 00:32:55,167
That isn't what interests
me at the moment.
407
00:32:55,267 --> 00:32:57,633
It's your connection
with the man who
owns that hat.

Oh, do you mean Chicago?
I have another name for him.

an invitation to be his
guest for the weekend.

in here and we'll find out

Must've slipped
out the back way.

Did he know I
was coming here?
Why, yes.
418
00:33:29,333 --> 00:33:31,333
Well, that explains
his sudden exit.
419
00:33:31,433 --> 00:33:33,967
He certainly doesn't
wanna run into me again.

Just what is Chicago's
tie-up with you?
421
00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:38,833
He's sort of a bodyguard.
422

Do you need a bodyguard?
423
00:33:40,533 --> 00:33:42,700
Well, actually,
he's more of a watchman.

I'm conducting some
experiments with
a Professor Ordson here.

someone to protect them.

I see.
But there a couple
of things I don't see.
427
00:33:53,767 --> 00:33:55,867
Would you mind
telling me why you're here?
428
00:33:55,967 --> 00:33:58,733
And why my stepfather
gave you this address?
429
00:33:58,833 --> 00:34:01,367
He hired me to
check up on you.
430
00:34:01,467 --> 00:34:04,800
I suppose he was
concerned about my
withdrawals from the firm.
431
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:06,400
That's only part of it.
432
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:08,567
The Colonel was afraid
you were getting
involved in something
433
00:34:08,667 --> 00:34:10,067
You might not
get out of easily.
434
00:34:10,167 --> 00:34:13,233
Something you went
into without consulting
him or Lowell.
435
00:34:13,333 --> 00:34:14,867
So that's it.
436
00:34:14,967 --> 00:34:18,900
But I still don't get the
connection between Chicago
and my stepfather's death.
437
00:34:19,067 --> 00:34:21,467
Correction. Murder.
438
00:34:21,567 --> 00:34:23,500
The police haven't
called it murder.
Why have you?
439
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,333
There's an answer to that.
And I intend to find it.
440
00:34:26,433 --> 00:34:28,167
Well, you won't find it here.
441
00:34:28,267 --> 00:34:30,300
I'm not so sure.
442
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,633
You don't seem
particularly grieved
by the Colonel's death.
443
00:34:33,733 --> 00:34:35,867
Frankly, I didn't
know him very well.
444
00:34:35,967 --> 00:34:38,467
My mother remarried
while I was
still in the service.
445
00:34:38,567 --> 00:34:40,567
But that doesn't explain
what you're doing here.
446
00:34:40,667 --> 00:34:43,067
Our experiments
are extremely urgent.
447
00:34:43,100 --> 00:34:46,800
Any delay might cost me
those large withdrawals
you're so concerned about.
448
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:51,633
Oh. Mr. Forestman, there's
something I'd like to do
without police observation.
449
00:34:51,733 --> 00:34:53,800
What's that?
Search your house.
450
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:56,067
I believe the police
have overlooked something.
451
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:58,633
When would you
like to do it?
Right now, if possible.
452
00:34:58,733 --> 00:35:00,733
Okay, let's get started.
453
00:35:20,067 --> 00:35:21,633
Wait here, Iggy.
454
00:35:27,633 --> 00:35:31,233
Dr. Richards, has the coroner
completed his examination yet?
455
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,067
What's the decision?
456
00:35:34,433 --> 00:35:37,233
Thank you, Doctor.
Yes, I'll tell them.
457
00:35:39,133 --> 00:35:40,467
Oh, Miss Prentice.
458
00:35:40,567 --> 00:35:42,067
We weren't expecting you.
459
00:35:44,067 --> 00:35:45,867
Some other people
weren't, either.
460
00:35:47,233 --> 00:35:48,967
What's the verdict, Lowell?
461
00:35:50,167 --> 00:35:52,667
Heart attack.
The wound was accidental.
462
00:35:52,767 --> 00:35:54,733
Evidently, he had been
toying with the letter opener
463
00:35:54,833 --> 00:35:56,467
When the seizure gripped him.
464
00:35:56,567 --> 00:35:58,200
What are you implying,
Miss Prentice?
465
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:00,933
That your stepfather was dead
before he hit the floor.
466
00:36:01,067 --> 00:36:04,800
As he pitched forward,
his weight drove the letter
opener into his chest.
467
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:07,333
I don't care
what anybody says.
He was murdered.
468
00:36:07,433 --> 00:36:09,967
But, Judith, there's nothing
to be gained by
contradicting the law.
469
00:36:10,067 --> 00:36:12,800
Why not?
Why are you so
positive it's murder?
470
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:15,500
It appears to be
an open and shut case
471
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,667
As far as Mr.
Lowell's concerned.
472
00:36:17,767 --> 00:36:20,367
Miss Prentice,
when I want your
opinion, I'll pay for it.
473
00:36:20,467 --> 00:36:22,167
Judith.
474
00:36:22,267 --> 00:36:24,633
I think there's something
all of you should know.
475
00:36:24,733 --> 00:36:28,400
Colonel Bentry did not hire me
to investigate some phony art.
476
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:30,800
He wanted me to find out
some facts for him.
477
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:33,467
Then he knew
he was in danger.
Perhaps.
478
00:36:33,567 --> 00:36:35,800
I have a feeling that if
I find all the facts,
479
00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:38,067
We'll prove that he died
of a heart attack.
480
00:36:38,167 --> 00:36:40,600
One that was
deliberately induced.
481
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:42,867
JONATHAN:
Interesting theory,
Miss Prentice.
482
00:36:42,967 --> 00:36:45,300
But it's only a theory.
Not even that.
483
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,900
A hunch.
484
00:36:47,067 --> 00:36:49,467
I would like to leave
to attend to the funeral
arrangements, Mr. William.
485
00:36:49,567 --> 00:36:51,067
Very well, Severance.
486
00:36:51,100 --> 00:36:53,367
Before you go,
have Miss Keets fix some
sandwiches and coffee.
487
00:36:53,467 --> 00:36:54,667
Yes, sir.
488
00:36:54,767 --> 00:36:56,500
Get some rest, Judith.
Thank you, Jonathan.
489
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,567
Goodbye, William.
Bye, Lowell.
490
00:36:58,667 --> 00:37:00,433
Well, I think
I'll clean up a bit.
491
00:37:00,533 --> 00:37:02,267
Judith, will you take care
of Miss Prentice?
492
00:37:02,367 --> 00:37:03,700
Yes, of course.
493
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,833
Why did my
stepfather hire you?
494
00:37:08,933 --> 00:37:10,700
I'm sorry. Confidential.
495
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,233
I have a right to know.
496
00:37:12,333 --> 00:37:15,300
Speaking of hiring,
who hired Severance?
497
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,567
I did. What does he
have to do with it?
498
00:37:17,667 --> 00:37:19,267
Nothing.
499
00:37:19,367 --> 00:37:22,433
I merely noticed that he
occupies a position above
that of an ordinary butler.
500
00:37:22,533 --> 00:37:25,733
Severance is not a butler.
He's more of
a social secretary.
501
00:37:25,833 --> 00:37:27,067
He knew
the Colonel before...
502
00:37:27,167 --> 00:37:28,567
Before what?
503
00:37:28,667 --> 00:37:30,967
Before Colonel Bentry
married my mother.
504
00:37:31,067 --> 00:37:32,767
Would you care to
re-do your make-up?
505
00:37:32,867 --> 00:37:34,433
(CHUCKLES)
Is it that obvious?
506
00:37:34,533 --> 00:37:37,433
Not nearly as obvious
as you are, Miss Prentice.
507
00:37:53,267 --> 00:37:54,433
(GASPS)
508
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:11,833
Miss Prentice, I must
know more about this
confidential matter.
509
00:38:11,933 --> 00:38:14,300
Your price may be high,
but I'll pay it.
510
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,500
I haven't anything
to sell at the moment,
511
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,800
But I'll give you
a quotation when I have.
512
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,267
My, what a lovely room.
513
00:38:23,067 --> 00:38:25,933
Was I the one the Colonel
paid you to spy on?
514
00:38:26,067 --> 00:38:28,900
Why? Have you been
playing games, too?
515
00:38:29,067 --> 00:38:31,200
The Colonel rarely approved
of anything I did.
516
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:33,533
He simply refused
to believe that
anything good could come
517
00:38:33,633 --> 00:38:35,400
From my association
with Professor Ordson.
518
00:38:35,500 --> 00:38:37,067
Professor Ordson?
519
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:38,167
You know him?
520
00:38:38,267 --> 00:38:40,067
I've heard of
him and his work.
521
00:38:40,167 --> 00:38:42,233
Was there a feud between
Bentry and Ordson?
522
00:38:42,333 --> 00:38:43,567
Of long standing.
523
00:38:43,667 --> 00:38:45,933
Was it bitter?
Bitter enough to kill?
524
00:38:46,067 --> 00:38:50,167
Ordson? Certainly not!
He's as gentle as a lamb.
525
00:38:50,267 --> 00:38:54,200
Even lambs can become lions
if the stakes are high enough.
526
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,400
Shall we freshen up?
527
00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:09,500
I'll be going now,
Mr. William.
528
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,833
All right, Severance.
529
00:39:12,767 --> 00:39:13,900
Where are you going, Judy?
530
00:39:14,067 --> 00:39:16,067
I promised Professor Ordson
I'd help him this evening.
531
00:39:16,167 --> 00:39:17,367
I'll get back downtown.
532
00:39:17,467 --> 00:39:19,367
See you later.
Okay.
533
00:39:19,467 --> 00:39:21,333
Goodbye, Miss Prentice.
Goodbye.
534
00:39:23,133 --> 00:39:24,900
Well, I guess that just
leaves the two of us.
535
00:39:25,067 --> 00:39:28,300
My man is waiting outside.
I'll dismiss him
and be right back.
536
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,733
There's a room upstairs
I'd like to search
before we eat.
537
00:39:30,833 --> 00:39:32,500
Upstairs?
Which room was that?
538
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,867
I'll show you
when I come back.
539
00:39:33,967 --> 00:39:35,200
All right.
540
00:39:43,533 --> 00:39:46,400
Tail that car and
call me here later.
Now step on it!
541
00:40:02,333 --> 00:40:04,400
This was the room I meant.
Whose is it?
542
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:05,933
Severance's.
Shall we have a look?
543
00:40:06,033 --> 00:40:07,133
Sure.
544
00:40:12,833 --> 00:40:14,600
Oh!
545
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:17,167
Severance certainly
keeps an untidy room.
546
00:40:17,267 --> 00:40:19,333
Can't imagine him
doing a thing like this.
547
00:40:19,433 --> 00:40:21,133
He didn't.
548
00:40:21,233 --> 00:40:23,633
Somebody was here
looking for
the same thing I am.
549
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,167
And obviously found it.
550
00:40:26,267 --> 00:40:27,933
Oh, what now?
551
00:40:28,033 --> 00:40:29,767
I think I'll try
some of that food.
552
00:40:29,867 --> 00:40:31,033
Good idea.
553
00:40:42,133 --> 00:40:45,300
Just what kind of an
experiment are you and
Professor Ordson working on?
554
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,233
It's a light ray theory for
long-range night photography.
555
00:40:48,333 --> 00:40:50,467
Colonel Bentry might have
been proud of your efforts
556
00:40:50,567 --> 00:40:51,833
If you had only told him.
557
00:40:51,933 --> 00:40:54,200
I'm afraid he never
would've approved of Ordson.
558
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:56,300
They became bitter enemies
after my mother died.
559
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,767
What started it?
560
00:40:57,867 --> 00:41:00,133
Well, the Colonel refused
to grant Ordson the funds
561
00:41:00,233 --> 00:41:03,167
That my father had left him
for his earlier experiments.
562
00:41:03,267 --> 00:41:06,133
And after the quarrel,
Professor Ordson retired?
563
00:41:06,233 --> 00:41:09,967
Yes, but he knew more about
my formula than anyone else.
564
00:41:10,067 --> 00:41:12,967
He offered to help me,
provided I didn't
tell the Colonel.
565
00:41:14,367 --> 00:41:16,200
And you agreed?
Yes.
566
00:41:16,300 --> 00:41:18,333
Only because Ordson insisted.
567
00:41:18,433 --> 00:41:20,267
Neither Judith nor I approved,
568
00:41:20,367 --> 00:41:24,533
But he seemed to regard the
Colonel as the only obstacle
which might defeat him.
569
00:41:24,633 --> 00:41:28,733
I hope you realize Ordson
had a nice little motive for
removing that obstacle.
570
00:41:28,833 --> 00:41:31,667
Your business makes you
suspect everyone, doesn't it?
571
00:41:31,767 --> 00:41:34,233
In my business,
you have to.
572
00:41:34,333 --> 00:41:36,100
Until you catch the man
with blood in his eye.
573
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,867
(CHUCKLES)
(PHONE RINGS)
574
00:41:37,967 --> 00:41:39,300
Excuse me.
575
00:41:42,167 --> 00:41:43,200
Hello?
576
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:44,700
Yes. Just a moment.
577
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,567
Sound like your man.
578
00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:49,567
Thanks.
579
00:41:49,667 --> 00:41:50,833
Yes?
580
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:52,733
I see.
581
00:41:52,833 --> 00:41:55,600
Good. Sit tight, Iggy,
I'll be there on the double.
582
00:41:55,700 --> 00:41:57,267
Must you go?
583
00:41:57,367 --> 00:41:59,467
Just as soon as
you can get me a cab.
584
00:41:59,567 --> 00:42:01,967
Well, in that case,
I'll get you a cab.
585
00:42:22,267 --> 00:42:25,067
IGGY: (WHISPERING)
Hey, boss, over here.
586
00:42:25,133 --> 00:42:26,667
What's the lowdown, Iggy?
587
00:42:26,767 --> 00:42:29,133
Well, I tailed the doll
down here, and I saw her
heading into the mission.
588
00:42:29,233 --> 00:42:31,767
Place was pretty crowded,
so I just
moseyed in after her.
589
00:42:31,867 --> 00:42:34,200
Then Severance shows up
and starts to argue with her.
590
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:36,233
I don't get the full drift
of what they're arguing about,
591
00:42:36,333 --> 00:42:37,867
But the flunky is plenty high.
592
00:42:37,967 --> 00:42:40,600
Then I heard him tell her
he'd give her 10 minutes
to make up her mind,
593
00:42:40,700 --> 00:42:42,167
And he'd be
waiting outside for her.
594
00:42:42,267 --> 00:42:44,833
What then?
Then she got
a hold of the big moose.
595
00:42:44,933 --> 00:42:47,500
What big moose?
Some character
called Big Mac.
596
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,067
He and this Judy gal have
a nice, quiet discussion.
597
00:42:50,133 --> 00:42:52,533
I don't get any of that,
but I see her
slipping some dough.
598
00:42:52,633 --> 00:42:54,067
And then, they...
599
00:42:54,500 --> 00:42:55,633
Look.
600
00:43:05,533 --> 00:43:06,867
What's the rest of it, Iggy?
601
00:43:06,967 --> 00:43:09,533
Then Big Mac went
outside, where he
buttonholed Severance,
602
00:43:09,633 --> 00:43:11,367
And gave him that
old comradeship routine.
603
00:43:11,467 --> 00:43:13,233
At first, Severance didn't
want no part of it,
604
00:43:13,333 --> 00:43:16,200
But the big guy kept
insisting, and then they went
to the salon together.
605
00:43:16,300 --> 00:43:18,100
Severance went with him?
Mmm-hmm.
606
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,600
First he just
ordered sarsaparilla,
607
00:43:19,700 --> 00:43:21,867
But the big guy kept piling
straight ones in front of him.
608
00:43:21,967 --> 00:43:24,067
Then Severance went
for a boilermaker.
609
00:43:24,133 --> 00:43:26,167
That's a short, straight one,
with beer for chaser.
610
00:43:26,267 --> 00:43:27,733
What happened to
Severance after that?
611
00:43:27,833 --> 00:43:29,967
Are you kidding?
The last time I peeked,
612
00:43:30,067 --> 00:43:32,467
He was stiffer than
a laundered collar.
613
00:43:32,567 --> 00:43:33,700
Uh-oh.
614
00:43:34,633 --> 00:43:36,567
(MERRY MUSIC PLAYING)
615
00:44:01,567 --> 00:44:03,933
I wonder what her angle is.
616
00:44:04,067 --> 00:44:06,067
Let's put the vacuum
on that gorilla.
617
00:44:17,833 --> 00:44:19,300
Give me a minute,
and then come in.
618
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,700
Okay, boss.
619
00:44:30,900 --> 00:44:32,200
What'll it be, honey?
620
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:33,767
A bottle of beer, dear.
621
00:44:33,867 --> 00:44:36,433
And tell that big hunk of beef
at the bar I want to see him.
622
00:44:36,533 --> 00:44:38,300
He's a bad egg, honey.
623
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,233
Don't worry,
I'll scramble him.
624
00:44:40,333 --> 00:44:41,967
Send him over.
625
00:44:42,067 --> 00:44:44,367
Okay. It's your funeral.
626
00:44:48,933 --> 00:44:52,333
Hey, Mac,
there's a lady over there
who wants to see you.
627
00:44:52,433 --> 00:44:55,500
Me?
Yeah, you, you big lug.
628
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,600
Hey, Jimmy, give me a beer.
629
00:45:03,667 --> 00:45:05,100
Wanna see me, toots?
630
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,867
Hi. Sit down.
631
00:45:06,967 --> 00:45:08,167
Okay, sister.
632
00:45:08,267 --> 00:45:11,367
But I'm warning you,
I'm dynamite.
633
00:45:11,467 --> 00:45:15,067
Be careful you
don't shake yourself.
You're apt to blow up.
634
00:45:21,300 --> 00:45:24,200
Why, you two-bit lady cop!
635
00:45:24,300 --> 00:45:26,067
I ain't gonna sit with you.
636
00:45:26,133 --> 00:45:27,500
Shut up,
or I'll run you in.
637
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,200
You and who else?
638
00:45:29,300 --> 00:45:30,900
Don't look now, big boy,
639
00:45:31,067 --> 00:45:34,700
But there's a man in the back
of you with a little
convincer in his lap.
640
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,867
If you want it that way.
641
00:45:36,967 --> 00:45:40,233
Okay, chump,
you heard the lady.
This can be used two ways.
642
00:45:40,333 --> 00:45:43,967
One, to rap you over the head,
and the other, put a hole
through that blubber of yours.
643
00:45:46,867 --> 00:45:48,567
What do you want?
644
00:45:48,667 --> 00:45:50,900
Did you know the man
you held up
outside a while ago?
645
00:45:51,067 --> 00:45:52,733
I didn't hold up nobody.
646
00:45:52,833 --> 00:45:54,800
I could call it that.
647
00:45:54,900 --> 00:45:56,967
I don't know
nothing about him.
648
00:45:57,067 --> 00:45:58,933
What did the lady pay you
to get him drunk?
649
00:46:00,067 --> 00:46:02,300
I ain't good at
guessing games.
650
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,200
Maybe you want
your memory refreshed.
651
00:46:06,167 --> 00:46:07,933
Okay.
652
00:46:08,067 --> 00:46:11,500
She gave me 20 bucks,
and 10 for drinks.
653
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,967
He pretty near drunk up
the sawbuck.
654
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:17,267
Okay, big stuff.
655
00:46:17,367 --> 00:46:19,267
Get lost for a few days.
656
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,600
And keep your
mouth shut about this.
657
00:47:01,767 --> 00:47:04,400
Come on in.
Join the party, beautiful.
658
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,300
You're a persistent stinker,
659
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,833
But this time, junior,
you're threading on quicksand.
660
00:47:11,933 --> 00:47:13,300
Look out you don't choke.
661
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,967
There's no danger of that.
662
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:21,433
My, my, what strange birds
fly in this squadron.
663
00:47:21,533 --> 00:47:22,933
You were expecting me?
664
00:47:23,067 --> 00:47:25,100
You or some other
double-crosser like you.
665
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,233
I'm not in favor
of loose words
or accusations, Miss Prentice.
666
00:47:28,333 --> 00:47:29,933
You seem to have
a lot of theories.
667
00:47:30,067 --> 00:47:31,933
That might interfere
with your plans?
668
00:47:32,067 --> 00:47:33,533
Something like that.
669
00:47:33,633 --> 00:47:36,900
I have deemed it advisable
for you to leave
the city for a few days.
670
00:47:37,067 --> 00:47:40,233
You and your man have chosen
to argue the point with me.
671
00:47:40,333 --> 00:47:44,100
I've become impatient,
Miss Prentice, and insist
that you do as I say.
672
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,300
What's the ticket if I don't?
A hole in the head,
673
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,067
Or a slight dose of poison?
674
00:47:49,133 --> 00:47:51,933
Don't be facetious.
I'm not playing penny ante.
675
00:47:52,067 --> 00:47:55,333
You're holding the cards,
Mr. Lowell.
What are you dealing?
676
00:47:55,433 --> 00:47:58,167
Disappear for a week,
and earn $1000.
677
00:47:58,267 --> 00:48:01,567
Mmm, interesting proposition.
678
00:48:03,533 --> 00:48:07,933
Listen, gonzo, I understand
it's customary for a gentleman
to give a lady her seat.
679
00:48:08,067 --> 00:48:10,167
I'll give the orders here,
Miss Prentice.
680
00:48:10,267 --> 00:48:11,900
IGGY: That's what you think.
681
00:48:12,933 --> 00:48:14,267
You heard what the lady said.
682
00:48:14,367 --> 00:48:16,067
On your feet,
or fall flat on your face.
683
00:48:16,167 --> 00:48:17,367
Don't get playful.
684
00:48:17,467 --> 00:48:20,667
Iggy was
a trigger-happy marine.
Need I say more?
685
00:48:20,767 --> 00:48:22,967
You're holding
the high cards now,
Miss Prentice.
686
00:48:23,067 --> 00:48:25,600
How much do I have to pay
to see your hand?
687
00:48:25,700 --> 00:48:28,367
You can't beat
a pat hand, Mr. Lowell.
688
00:48:28,467 --> 00:48:31,600
I suggest you throw
your cards on the table
and get out of here.
689
00:48:31,700 --> 00:48:35,267
Take your Pekingese with you
and lean him against
the first tree you pass.
690
00:48:35,367 --> 00:48:37,967
And stay out of my way,
or you'll get hurt.
691
00:48:38,067 --> 00:48:40,067
Especially you, Mr. Lowell.
692
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:42,067
Now, get going,
the both of you.
693
00:48:44,567 --> 00:48:46,233
My day is coming, fat boy.
694
00:48:46,333 --> 00:48:49,900
Don't you get no ideas,
or put this gun
where you least expect it.
695
00:48:59,500 --> 00:49:01,633
We'll meet again,
Miss Prentice.
696
00:49:05,833 --> 00:49:08,300
Shall I tail 'em?
No need to, Iggy,
697
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,500
Now that I know for sure
that Lowell's in on the play.

00:49:29,633 --> 00:49:32,433
Hello?
Bill, this is
Belinda Prentice.
700
00:49:32,533 --> 00:49:34,767
I want you to come
to my apartment immediately.
701
00:49:34,867 --> 00:49:36,833
Oh, you're trying
to compromise me?
702
00:49:36,933 --> 00:49:39,767
If you don't hustle,
there won't be
much left to compromise.
703
00:49:39,867 --> 00:49:41,533
Your pals are on the prowl,
704
00:49:41,633 --> 00:49:44,067
And I think you're number two
on the stiff parade.
705
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:45,667
Who are my pals?
706
00:49:45,767 --> 00:49:48,733
I'll tell you when I see you.
You're in for a sudden
case of rigor mortis,
707
00:49:48,833 --> 00:49:50,133
Unless you move quickly.
708
00:49:50,233 --> 00:49:52,367
Okay. What's that address?
709
00:49:54,233 --> 00:49:56,700
481, Parkwest Apartments.
710
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,567
Don't worry,
I'll be right over.

712
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:11,700
Hello, Bill, come on in.
Hello, Iggy.
713
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,767
What's the matter now?
Belinda will tell you.
714
00:50:13,867 --> 00:50:16,633
Oh!
Hey, boss, Bill's here.
715
00:50:16,733 --> 00:50:18,067
Grab yourself a seat.
Thanks.
716
00:50:18,167 --> 00:50:19,967
She'll be out in a minute.
717
00:50:20,767 --> 00:50:22,567
Hello, Bill.
Hello, Belinda.
718
00:50:22,667 --> 00:50:24,433
What's up?
I hope I haven't
frightened you.
719
00:50:24,533 --> 00:50:26,633
Well, if you have,
I'm trying my
best to conceal it.
720
00:50:26,733 --> 00:50:28,700
Now wait a minute.
This is no joke.
721
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,300
Lowell and that
pug-ugly, Chicago,
paid me a visit together.
722
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,933
Lowell and Chicago?
Why, they don't
even know each other.
723
00:50:35,033 --> 00:50:39,900
No? Well, Chicago may be your
watchman, but he's definitely
Lowell's muscleman.
724
00:50:40,633 --> 00:50:42,233
What did they want?
725
00:50:42,333 --> 00:50:46,467
They wanted me to leave town,
or else. A small fee was
tossed in as a bribe.
726
00:50:46,567 --> 00:50:49,467
But Iggy and a .38 automatic
convinced them
they were wrong.
727
00:50:49,567 --> 00:50:51,400
(PHONE RINGING)
Excuse me.
728
00:50:51,500 --> 00:50:52,600
Yeah.
729
00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:55,833
Hello?
730
00:50:55,933 --> 00:50:58,900
Why, yes, Dad. He was
at the office with
a character named Chicago.
731
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,633
They left together.
732
00:51:02,767 --> 00:51:04,667
What?
733
00:51:04,767 --> 00:51:07,333
Well, I suggest you
pick up this Chicago.
734
00:51:07,433 --> 00:51:10,933
You might find him at
Forestman's apartment.
Do you know where it is?
735
00:51:11,067 --> 00:51:15,167
Fine. Yes, Forestman's
right here. Check.
736
00:51:15,933 --> 00:51:17,767
What was that all about?
737
00:51:17,867 --> 00:51:19,700
Well, you can stop
worrying about Lowell.
738
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,333
He's dead.
On the front lawn
of your estate.
739
00:51:22,433 --> 00:51:24,300
Lowell?
You better get
out there at once.
740
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:25,800
Come on, Iggy.
741
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,067
You look like you
need a drink, Severance.
742
00:51:49,767 --> 00:51:52,067
Well, daughter,
looks like this case
kind of got away from you.
743
00:51:52,100 --> 00:51:54,400
I wouldn't say that, Dad.
744
00:51:54,500 --> 00:51:57,667
Did any of you,
besides Chicago,
see Lowell tonight?
745
00:52:01,900 --> 00:52:06,100
I did. So did Severance.
He stopped in
about an hour ago.
746
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,067
Did he ask for
Mr. Forestman?
As a matter of fact, he did.
747
00:52:09,167 --> 00:52:10,633
He had something
for Bill's signature.
748
00:52:10,733 --> 00:52:12,800
I told him he'd gone
out a few minutes before.
749
00:52:12,900 --> 00:52:14,700
We had a drink,
and then he left.
750
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,667
You've been putting
the heat on me all day.
751
00:52:23,767 --> 00:52:26,100
Now you're gonna
explain what's behind it.
752
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,567
I don't know what
you're talkin' about.
753
00:52:27,667 --> 00:52:29,233
What have you got
on him, Belinda?
754
00:52:29,333 --> 00:52:31,833
Threat of arms and
attempted kidnapping.
755
00:52:31,933 --> 00:52:33,067
Where did you
pick him up, Dad?
756
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:35,067
At the Forestman apartment,
just as you said.
757
00:52:35,133 --> 00:52:37,667
He was there with
Professor Ordson,
so I brought them both along.
758
00:52:37,767 --> 00:52:40,100
This Chicago has been
singing a strange tune.
759
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,300
Never mind the tune.
I'm interested in the lyrics.
760
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,167
Chicago told me that Lowell
was embezzling company funds
761
00:52:46,267 --> 00:52:47,633
Without Bentry's knowledge.
762
00:52:47,733 --> 00:52:50,700
Then when young Forestman
started to make
those large withdrawals,
763
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,500
Lowell used him
to cover up his own deficit.
764
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,600
Then when he found out
that Bentry had hired
765
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:57,667
A private detective to
check up on Forestman,
766
00:52:57,767 --> 00:53:00,500
He became panicky,
fearing exposure.
767
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,600
Then it was
Lowell who ordered
you to get rid of me.
768
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:05,900
He just wanted you
kept out of circulation
for a while, that's all.
769
00:53:06,067 --> 00:53:07,800
How did you know Lowell?
770
00:53:07,900 --> 00:53:10,267
I knew that
mouthpiece from way back.
771
00:53:10,367 --> 00:53:12,500
He got in touch with me
and said he was in a jam.
772
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,067
That I had to do this
job for him, or else.
773
00:53:15,100 --> 00:53:16,667
To play safe,
he had me sent to you
774
00:53:16,767 --> 00:53:18,400
Through the company's
personnel department.
775
00:53:18,500 --> 00:53:21,567
So he was using your record
to keep you on his team, huh?
776
00:53:21,667 --> 00:53:22,900
You guessed it, copper.
777
00:53:23,067 --> 00:53:24,867
I don't think there's
any need for anxiety
778
00:53:24,967 --> 00:53:27,067
Of what were to happen
here tonight, Belinda.
779
00:53:27,100 --> 00:53:28,700
Facts are obvious.
780
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,067
Lowell knocked off Bentry,
hoping to make it
look like a heart attack.
781
00:53:32,100 --> 00:53:35,067
So he could accuse
him of embezzlement
if it became necessary.
782
00:53:35,167 --> 00:53:38,400
But something happened
to his plans, and he decided
to cash in his chips.
783
00:53:38,500 --> 00:53:40,133
As simple as that,
is it, Dad?
784
00:53:40,233 --> 00:53:42,067
And how did you
arrive at that conclusion?
785
00:53:42,133 --> 00:53:43,300
Through your help, Belinda.
786
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,067
That needle you
found was the one clue
787
00:53:45,167 --> 00:53:47,333
To prove that Bentry
did not die of a heart attack.
788
00:53:47,433 --> 00:53:49,167
We put that needle
under a microscope
789
00:53:49,267 --> 00:53:52,200
And we discovered traces
of fast-acting, deadly poison.
790
00:53:52,300 --> 00:53:53,800
When we put
the poison to the test,
791
00:53:53,900 --> 00:53:56,067
We discovered that it
absolutely disappears
792
00:53:56,133 --> 00:53:57,667
When introduced
into the bloodstream.
793
00:53:57,767 --> 00:54:00,133
Lowell must've substituted
the poison for the vitamins.
794
00:54:04,533 --> 00:54:05,667
That's all I needed to know.
795
00:54:05,767 --> 00:54:08,667
Now I'll fill in
the missing pieces
to this puzzle.
796
00:54:08,767 --> 00:54:12,533
Mr. Forestman,
I know that you,
Lowell, Dr. Richards,
797
00:54:12,633 --> 00:54:14,700
Miss Judith and Severance
were in the house
798
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,533
When the Colonel
got that injection.
799
00:54:16,633 --> 00:54:18,067
Are you inferring
that one of us
800
00:54:18,100 --> 00:54:20,067
Gave the Colonel the injection
that was fatal to him?
801
00:54:20,133 --> 00:54:21,267
Exactly.
802
00:54:21,367 --> 00:54:23,733
Any one of you had
just as much chance as Lowell.
803
00:54:23,833 --> 00:54:25,500
Couldn't Bentry have
given himself the shot?
804
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:26,767
I think not, Dad.
805
00:54:26,867 --> 00:54:28,100
When he called at my office,
806
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,333
He picked up the letter opener
and started toying with it.
807
00:54:30,433 --> 00:54:33,067
It was a habit, you know,
just like some people doodle.
808
00:54:33,167 --> 00:54:35,467
And that was
probably what he was doing
when he got the hypo.
809
00:54:35,567 --> 00:54:38,833
Could be, because
he certainly was dead
before he was stabbed.
810
00:54:38,933 --> 00:54:40,767
Doctor,
811
00:54:40,867 --> 00:54:44,333
Isn't it unusual to
prescribe vitamin shots
for a man in sound condition?
812
00:54:44,433 --> 00:54:48,867
Not at all. He'd been taking
them on and off for
the past three months.
813
00:54:48,967 --> 00:54:51,267
Did you personally administer
all the injections?
814
00:54:51,367 --> 00:54:52,867
That wasn't necessary.
815
00:54:52,967 --> 00:54:56,333
Colonel Bentry sometimes
administered them himself.
816
00:54:56,433 --> 00:54:58,067
Professor,
817
00:54:58,167 --> 00:55:01,567
You give shots at your
mission as part of your
alcoholic cure, do you not?
818
00:55:01,667 --> 00:55:05,267
Yes, but the Colonel and I
were not on speaking terms.
819
00:55:05,367 --> 00:55:08,500
He never would have allowed me
to administer to him.
820
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,233
BELINDA: Miss Judith and
Severance have often helped
you with your work.
821
00:55:11,333 --> 00:55:12,900
Have they ever
given any injections?
822
00:55:13,067 --> 00:55:16,967
Miss Judith has.
She was experienced
in such matters.
823
00:55:17,067 --> 00:55:19,767
She was a nurse's
aide during the war.
824
00:55:20,767 --> 00:55:22,100
Miss Judith?
825
00:55:23,067 --> 00:55:24,267
Yes?
826
00:55:24,367 --> 00:55:26,900
Why did you hire
Big Mac to lure
Severance back to drink?
827
00:55:27,067 --> 00:55:29,700
Why...
Why, I did no such thing.
828
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,533
Don't lie, Judith.
I've already
questioned Big Mac.
829
00:55:32,633 --> 00:55:34,500
And it was you
who gave the Colonel the shot,
830
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:35,967
Thinking it was
a vitamin dose.
831
00:55:36,067 --> 00:55:39,300
Isn't that true?
Yes, it's true.
832
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,267
But I didn't
know it was poison.
833
00:55:41,367 --> 00:55:45,300
When he fell to the floor,
you dropped the syringe
and ran out of the house.
834
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,700
I was frightened.
835
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,667
Severance,
you removed the syringe
when you discovered the body.
836
00:55:51,767 --> 00:55:55,467
Then you were
too upset to notice
the needle had broken off.
837
00:55:55,567 --> 00:55:59,267
Yes. I was standing at
the head of the stairs.
838
00:55:59,367 --> 00:56:02,933
I saw Miss Judith
run out of the library
and through the front door.
839
00:56:03,067 --> 00:56:06,133
You thought she
was responsible,
so you hid it to protect her.
840
00:56:06,233 --> 00:56:09,067
Miss Judith
wouldn't have done it
deliberately, Miss Prentice.
841
00:56:09,167 --> 00:56:11,567
Why did you follow
Judith to the mission?
842
00:56:11,667 --> 00:56:15,167
Well, someone had
ransacked my room
and stolen the syringe.
843
00:56:15,267 --> 00:56:16,733
Miss Judith
didn't know I had it.
844
00:56:16,833 --> 00:56:18,667
So it must've been someone
who had seen me remove it.
845
00:56:19,767 --> 00:56:21,333
I went to warn Miss Judith.
846
00:56:21,433 --> 00:56:24,333
I knew she was innocent,
and tried to get her
to go to the police.
847
00:56:24,433 --> 00:56:27,767
I thought that if I got him
intoxicated, I could gain
a little more time.
848
00:56:27,867 --> 00:56:30,133
Hoping the murder
would be solved.
849
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,200
You must've
been the bright boy
I saw leave Severance's room.
850
00:56:35,300 --> 00:56:37,300
What did you do
with that syringe?
851
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,100
I turned it over to Lowell.
852
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,333
That's right, he did.
Lowell blackmailed
me with it tonight.
853
00:56:42,433 --> 00:56:45,100
He wanted control
of the company's
voting stock.
854
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:46,733
He said my
fingerprints were on it.
855
00:56:46,833 --> 00:56:48,300
And if didn't sign
a power of attorney,
856
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,067
He'd turn his
evidence over
to the police.
857
00:56:50,167 --> 00:56:51,567
Did you sign it?
858
00:56:51,667 --> 00:56:53,333
What else could I do?
That's strange.
859
00:56:53,433 --> 00:56:56,600
We didn't find the syringe
or the power of attorney
on Lowell.
860
00:56:58,967 --> 00:57:00,933
I'm sorry, Severance.
861
00:57:01,067 --> 00:57:04,067
I can understand your devotion
and loyalty to Judith,
862
00:57:04,100 --> 00:57:06,067
But it all
narrows down to you.
863
00:57:06,167 --> 00:57:08,567
You were the only
other person in the house.
864
00:57:08,667 --> 00:57:12,167
As an ex-lawyer, you must
realize that the only way
you can protect Judith
865
00:57:12,267 --> 00:57:15,333
Is the produce the evidence
which will support her story.
866
00:57:15,433 --> 00:57:17,567
Even if it means
incriminating yourself.
867
00:57:19,633 --> 00:57:22,467
I suppose you're right,
Miss Prentice.
868
00:57:22,567 --> 00:57:25,200
Here's the power of attorney,
and the syringe.
869
00:57:26,067 --> 00:57:27,800
But I didn't murder Lowell.
870
00:57:27,900 --> 00:57:30,333
I overheard him
blackmailing Miss Judith.
871
00:57:30,433 --> 00:57:32,100
I followed him
out on the lawn
872
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,733
And demanded the return
of the power of attorney.
873
00:57:34,833 --> 00:57:36,233
He drew a gun.
874
00:57:36,333 --> 00:57:38,767
I grabbed his hand,
and in the struggle,
the gun went off.
875
00:57:39,733 --> 00:57:41,867
He accidently
killed himself.
876
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:43,767
(SIGHING)
877
00:57:45,467 --> 00:57:47,500
Here you are, Inspector.
878
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,567
The fingerprints on
the gun will clear him.
879
00:57:49,667 --> 00:57:53,133
If my handling of
your case, Inspector,
has bewildered you,
880
00:57:53,233 --> 00:57:54,967
I'll be glad to
hold your head.
881
00:57:55,067 --> 00:57:58,333
So you can steal
my badge again?
No, thank you.
882
00:57:58,433 --> 00:58:01,067
Well, Inspector,
your daughter has proved
that Judith is innocent
883
00:58:01,167 --> 00:58:03,233
And that Severance
acted in self-defense.
884
00:58:03,333 --> 00:58:07,067
Not so fast. That's a decision
for the DA to make,
not a private eye.
885
00:58:07,100 --> 00:58:11,233
But you needn't worry.
The real killer has
paid for his crime.
886
00:58:11,333 --> 00:58:13,600
Well, Chicago, I've got
a little surprise for you.
887
00:58:13,700 --> 00:58:15,400
We're shipping you
back to your hometown.
888
00:58:15,500 --> 00:58:18,200
Your local constabulary
has something they
wanna pin on you,
889
00:58:18,300 --> 00:58:20,067
And it's not
a Good Conduct Medal.
890
00:58:20,167 --> 00:58:22,133
What do you mean?
They ain't got
nothin' on me.
891
00:58:22,233 --> 00:58:24,867
No? Nothing a short term
in prison won't cure.
892
00:58:24,967 --> 00:58:27,167
Take him downtown, officer.
893
00:58:27,267 --> 00:58:28,733
IGGY:
Can I go with him, Inspector?
894
00:58:28,833 --> 00:58:30,967
To Chicago?
IGGY: No, downtown.
895
00:58:31,067 --> 00:58:34,067
There's a couple of raps I
wanna put on him that'll show,
but not on his record.
896
00:58:34,133 --> 00:58:36,667
Find out a way, Iggy.
He has unfinished business.
897
00:58:36,767 --> 00:58:38,967
Well, Forestman, it looks like
Belinda saved your life.
898
00:58:39,067 --> 00:58:40,567
I guess you're
right, Inspector.
899
00:58:40,667 --> 00:58:43,267
Why, Dad! You're actually
paying me a compliment.
900
00:58:43,367 --> 00:58:44,800
Yes, and I'll pay for
your dinner. Come on.
901
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:46,933
I'm sorry,
I have a previous engagement.
902
00:58:47,067 --> 00:58:49,067
What, another case?
Could be.
903
00:58:49,100 --> 00:58:50,333
Well, I guess
that lets me out.
904
00:58:50,433 --> 00:58:52,567
You don't have to
hit me over the head
with a blackjack.
905
00:58:52,667 --> 00:58:54,267
What a happy thought.
906
00:58:56,067 --> 00:58:57,767
(CHUCKLING)
Don't get sassy.
