00:00:35THE END
00:01:01THE END
00:01:32THE END
00:01:32CAN YOU HEAR ME?
00:01:33YEAH, I CAN HEAR YOU
00:01:34WELL, HURRY UP THEN
00:01:43JOHNNY!
00:01:45Oh, your practice is on the table, darling.
00:01:47Where else would it be?
00:01:48Hmm?
00:01:49Oh, nothing.
00:01:51Good morning, Dad.
00:01:53Hi.
00:01:54Don't forget you're going to give me five dollars today.
00:01:57Five dollars? Why should I?
00:01:58Oh, you remember, dear.
00:02:00Class is raising money for the summer camp.
00:02:02Well, the way prices are these days,
00:02:04kids better start raising money for us.
00:02:05Dad, you promised.
00:02:07All right.
00:02:10Don't spend all that on the women.
00:02:12Got to buy them a new pair of shoes this afternoon,
00:02:14Shoes.
00:02:15What does he do with his shoes?
00:02:16Eat them?
00:02:17It's outgrown.
00:02:18It's good ones.
00:02:18When I was his age, it went barefoot.
00:02:20Sunday school?
00:02:22Everywhere.
00:02:26That's Jimmy.
00:02:27I got to get going.
00:02:30Is there anything you want me to do today, Dad?
00:02:33Yeah.
00:02:34Until my rich uncle dies, quit growing.
00:02:37Goodbye, Mom.
00:02:38Goodbye, dear.
00:02:40You better hurry, it's getting late.
00:02:42So what?
00:02:42What?
00:02:43Was it so odd if I am late?
00:02:45Oh, nothing.
00:02:45I just thought you'd like to know.
00:02:46So let's don't go to work today.
00:02:48Let's go fishing.
00:02:49Oh, fine.
00:02:51Let's pick Tommy up and get in the car and just keep going.
00:02:53They got a road that goes all the way to South America now.
00:02:55Some other time, thanks.
00:02:57You think the world would stop what we did?
00:02:59You think the Olympic Mutual Insurance Company would go out of business
00:03:02if I didn't walk through that door exactly nine o'clock every morning?
00:03:04Never can tell.
00:03:06Well, you were voted the prettiest girl in the class.
00:03:09I was voted the boy most likely to succeed.
00:03:11Something should happen to people like that.
00:03:13Well, something did.
00:03:14They got married.
00:03:16What ever happened to those two people who were going to build a boat and sail around the world?
00:03:20Well, I had a baby.
00:03:22I never did hear what happened to you.
00:03:25Oh, come on, Wanda Lust.
00:03:27You've got a family to support.
00:03:29North America?
00:03:30Not today.
00:03:54What time are you coming home tonight, dear?
00:03:56Now, why do you ask me a question like that?
00:03:58You know what the second time I'll get home.
00:04:01I'll leave at the office at exactly four minutes after five.
00:04:03It takes six minutes to walk to the corner where Charlie picks me up at exactly 5.15.
00:04:07It takes 32 minutes to drive home unless we hit a couple of stop signals.
00:04:11And I'm kissing you on the cheek at exactly 5.50.
00:04:13Old man routine getting you down again?
00:04:16Oh, I don't know.
00:04:18Sometimes I get to feel like a wheel within a wheel within a wheel.
00:04:21Oh, you and 50 million others.
00:04:22I don't want to be like 50 million others.
00:04:24Oh, but you're John Forbes.
00:04:26Average American.
00:04:27Backbone of the country.
00:04:29I don't want to be an average American.
00:04:30Backbone of the country.
00:04:31I want somebody else to be the backbone and hold me up.
00:04:34You've been reading Tommy's geography book again.
00:04:36Glamorous Borneo, rubber plantations, and dusty dames.
00:04:39Well, it sounds a lot better than glamorous Olympic mutual insurance company.
00:04:43Pink.
00:04:44Speaking of which, we're here.
00:04:47Oh.
00:04:48Well, see it at exactly 5.50.
00:04:50Wait a minute.
00:04:52I'm getting a little bored with that kiss on the cheek, too.
00:04:55Oh.
00:04:58Thanks.
00:04:59You're welcome.
00:05:01And let's have a better mood when you come home tonight.
00:05:04I'll give it all I got trying.
00:05:06Bye, dear.
00:05:13Good morning, Mr. Forbes.
00:05:14How's every little thing?
00:05:16Fine.
00:05:17Just fine.
00:05:20Good morning, John.
00:05:21Come on in.
00:05:26Good morning, Mr. Forbes.
00:05:27Good morning, dear.
00:05:28Don't forget, you and Sue are having dinner with us tonight.
00:05:30Oh.
00:05:31Is that tonight?
00:05:32Is it that hard to take?
00:05:35Let me ask you something, Ed.
00:05:36What did we do a week ago tonight?
00:05:38Hmm.
00:05:39At dinner.
00:05:39Play bridge.
00:05:40Two weeks ago tonight.
00:05:41Same thing.
00:05:42Two years ago tonight.
00:05:43Three years ago tonight.
00:05:44You mean we're in a rut?
00:05:46Six feet deep.
00:05:47Let's revolt, Ed.
00:05:49When the girls bring out the cards tonight,
00:05:51let's stand on our constitutional rights and get drunk instead.
00:05:54If you want to.
00:05:55That's the spirit.
00:05:56Now, don't forget.
00:05:57But I thought you liked to play bridge.
00:06:00I do.
00:06:01But a man has to draw the line somewhere.
00:06:08Good morning, Maggie.
00:06:10Good morning, Mr. Forbes.
00:06:17Hello, friend.
00:06:19Hello, Maggie.
00:06:20What do you want?
00:06:21The kind word and the pat on the back for a job well done.
00:06:24Come in.
00:06:25Hold the calls, Maggie.
00:06:30What job?
00:06:31Smiley embezzlement case.
00:06:34I located about 4,000 bucks.
00:06:36He had it well hidden.
00:06:38Where?
00:06:40Mona Stevens.
00:06:42427 North Stockton.
00:06:44Nice work.
00:06:45No strain.
00:06:47Did you talk to her?
00:06:49Yeah.
00:06:51I wasn't busy looking at her.
00:06:54I don't blame him for robbing his company.
00:06:56She's with it.
00:06:57Maggie, bring in the Continental Finance Company fire, will you?
00:07:00Yes, Mr. Forbes.
00:07:01Does she have the cash, or what?
00:07:03Nothing so crude.
00:07:05He bought her a lot of little pretties.
00:07:07Fur coat.
00:07:08Little things like that.
00:07:09She know they were bought for stolen money?
00:07:11He's been in the can for four months.
00:07:13I think she has a vague idea.
00:07:16How much are you liable for?
00:07:17Well, thanks, Maggie.
00:07:19You're around $10,000.
00:07:24I bet you never thought of me as a man who could fall in love.
00:07:28You'd be surprised how little time I have to think about you at all, Mike.
00:07:31Now, this Mona Stevens, she's quite a girl.
00:07:35We're liable for around $10,000 for what he stole.
00:07:38I want as much of it back as possible.
00:07:39Of course.
00:07:41If you want me to, I'll have another talk with her again today.
00:07:44I intended to, anyway.
00:07:46Your part of the job is finished, Mike.
00:07:47The company will handle it from here.
00:07:49What's the matter with me handling it?
00:07:51You'd string it along just to see the girl again.
00:07:53What business is that of yours?
00:07:56If you want any more business from this company, just stick to your detective agency.
00:08:00I did all right.
00:08:01I found her, didn't I?
00:08:02Yeah, that's all you're paid to do.
00:08:04I'll handle it from here.
00:08:08You've, uh...
00:08:09You don't mind if I see her on my own time, do you?
00:08:12Not at all.
00:08:14When you see her, put in a word for me, huh?
00:08:19Sure, Mike.
00:08:20I'll set up the whole thing for you.
00:08:22Thanks.
00:08:24Anything else for me to do?
00:08:26I'll let you know.
00:08:28Get the phone calls, Maggie, and order me a company car for this afternoon.
00:08:32Yes, sir.
00:08:41Goodbye, Mac.
00:08:47Goodbye, friend.
00:09:13I'll let you know.
00:09:14I'll let you know.
00:09:15How are you?
00:09:15I don't know.
00:09:16My God.
00:09:16You don't mind?
00:09:16You don't mind.
00:09:17Let's go.
00:09:19Let's go.
00:09:20Let's go.
00:09:41Everybody home?
00:09:51Hello?
00:09:53Anybody home?
00:10:26You want any beer? It's in the icebox.
00:10:29Are you a prowler? Do you have a search warrant?
00:10:31I was looking for Miss Mona Stevens.
00:10:33I'm Mona Stevens?
00:10:35Don't wait for an invitation. Just let yourself in.
00:10:39I'm sorry.
00:10:40I'm John Forbes, Olympic Mutual Insurance Company.
00:10:45Make yourself at home.
00:10:49Sit down.
00:10:53Take off your hat.
00:10:57That was quite a boy you sent to see me yesterday.
00:11:00I met some weird ones in my life, but that one nearly scared me to death.
00:11:04McDonald isn't with the company.
00:11:06He's a private detective.
00:11:08I don't care who he is.
00:11:09I'm sorry he annoyed you.
00:11:11He shouldn't be let loose without a keeper.
00:11:16I suppose you're after the gifts Smiley gave me?
00:11:18That's right.
00:11:20I don't suppose you'd believe me if I told you I didn't ask him for any of those things.
00:11:26It doesn't matter one way or the other.
00:11:29Doesn't it?
00:11:30I'd like a list of the articles if you don't mind.
00:11:33What will you do with them?
00:11:34Try to realize what we can.
00:11:36My company bonded Mr. Smiley for $10,000.
00:11:39We had to make it good when he stole the money.
00:11:41I thought he was paying for that in jail.
00:11:44Unfortunately, that doesn't give us back a penny.
00:11:47Supposing I decide to be difficult.
00:11:49Then we'll be difficult.
00:11:51You'd have a hard time proving that any of those gifts were bought with stolen money.
00:11:56We'd have a hard time, but we'd do it.
00:12:00Are you going to cooperate, Miss Stevens?
00:12:04I don't know.
00:12:07What good would it do Smiley?
00:12:08Well, he...
00:12:10He only got a year.
00:12:12He's eligible for parole in two months.
00:12:14If we recovered some of the money, it might help him.
00:12:17Then again, it might not.
00:12:21Who cares? I don't want stuff anyway.
00:12:23Have you got a pencil?
00:12:25Oh, it's a pen.
00:12:28I've got a fur coat, a car, you can pay the down payment.
00:12:32I've got a few dresses.
00:12:35And an engagement ring.
00:12:38It's not a very good diamond, but believe it or not, it's the first engagement ring I've ever had.
00:12:43I'm rather fond of it.
00:12:44I'm sorry to have to do this.
00:12:47I don't think you are.
00:12:49Believe me, I don't enjoy this sort of thing.
00:12:52No, I don't suppose you do.
00:12:54In fact, I don't imagine you like it or dislike it.
00:12:58What do you mean?
00:12:59You're a little man with a briefcase.
00:13:01You go to work every morning and you do as you're told.
00:13:04Today they said go to such and such an address and pick up some stolen goods.
00:13:08So here you are.
00:13:10Tonight when you're sitting around with the boys having a beer, you'll say,
00:13:13You should have seen the babe I ran into today.
00:13:16Not bad.
00:13:17But you know me, it's strictly business when I'm on the job.
00:13:21Is that the way I impress you?
00:13:22That's the way.
00:13:24How should I be?
00:13:25If you were a nice guy, you'd cry a little bit with me.
00:13:27You'd really feel sorry for a girl whose first engagement ring was bought by a man stupid enough to embezzle
00:13:32and stupid enough to get caught.
00:13:35Will I take the ring?
00:13:36Sure, that's part of your job.
00:13:40But you'd act a little human while you were doing it.
00:13:43Come on, I'll buy you a drink.
00:13:45At this time of day?
00:13:48According to statistics, insurance men drink one and three quarters highballs every day.
00:13:53But only after the sun goes down.
00:13:55You know, I'd shoot myself if I thought I was turning into the sort of guy you just described.
00:14:00I'll not only have a drink, but I have a gun too.
00:14:03This takes a drink first.
00:14:04If that doesn't work, I'll make a deal with you on the gun.
00:14:06What about the boat?
00:14:08The boat?
00:14:09Yes, the boat.
00:14:11You mean you and your playmate didn't know about it?
00:14:13No.
00:14:15I might as well make it complete, I'll show it to you.
00:14:46Looking at my samples?
00:14:47Yes.
00:14:48You photograph very well.
00:14:50I bet it's my business.
00:14:51Your Olympic Mutual, what's its name, doesn't advertise, does it?
00:14:54Oh yes, but in our business we run more to photographs of the Rock of Gibraltar or Eagles.
00:15:00Then I'm afraid I'm not your type.
00:15:03Let's go.
00:15:08If you can leave that, I hardly think we'll be gone overnight.
00:15:11Will they be all right here?
00:15:12They have been so far.
00:15:15All right.
00:15:33Essentially.
00:15:42THE END
00:16:14I guess you're just an actual born athlete.
00:16:17This morning I was talking about going to South America.
00:16:20I don't think I could make it to South Los Angeles.
00:16:22Cheer up, we're here.
00:16:26Somebody's been kidding me. Crime does pay.
00:16:29Oh, not that one. The one over there.
00:16:34Oh. What'd you expect, the Queen Mary?
00:16:45Do you think you can make it or do you want me to take her?
00:16:49Are you kidding? I'm good for another ten seconds.
00:17:01Well, what do you think of my baby?
00:17:02Not bad.
00:17:04You should have seen her before I painted her.
00:17:06You painted her?
00:17:07You'd be surprised what a little elbow grease will do when you're short of money.
00:17:11Of course, you wouldn't know about that.
00:17:13No, I work for an insurance company.
00:17:16Let's take her out.
00:17:17You mean you want to take a ride?
00:17:18Why not?
00:17:19The company's time, your gas.
00:17:21Oh, yes.
00:17:41You want to take a ride?
00:17:42I'm not afraid, no.
00:17:44There we go.
00:17:44Stop it.
00:17:44Let's do it.
00:17:46Let's go now.
00:17:47Let's do it.
00:17:49Let's go now.
00:17:51Let's go.
00:18:24Would you like to take over for a while?
00:18:26Sure. Who wants to go forever?
00:19:16I'd rather have it more than anything I've ever owned.
00:19:24Didn't you promise something about buying me a drink?
00:19:27That's right, I did. You better take her around.
00:19:38This is the life. Have you ever noticed?
00:19:41If for some reason you want to feel completely out of step with the rest of the world,
00:19:46the only thing to do is sit around a cocktail lounge in the afternoon.
00:19:50Why?
00:19:52Well, you sit around in the gloom and have a few quiet, meditative drinks.
00:19:58Get everything figured out.
00:19:59Then you go out and the sun hits you.
00:20:02You feel like something that's been drinking in a gopher hole.
00:20:08How did you ever get mixed up with someone like smiling?
00:20:10As the girl said, just luckier, I guess.
00:20:15Anyway, he was just too much in love with me.
00:20:18He wanted to do things for me and he didn't have the money, so...
00:20:21He went out and got some.
00:20:24Did he have to?
00:20:26Was it that important to you?
00:20:28No, but he didn't know it.
00:20:31I liked him mostly because he was nice to me.
00:20:33Very few men are.
00:20:35That means a lot.
00:20:38What do you care about me?
00:20:41Oh, just curious, I guess.
00:20:44That's flattering.
00:20:46I didn't mean it that way.
00:20:49I guess I'm a little out of practice.
00:20:52I never quote anything but statistics.
00:20:56I'm a little unsure of myself whenever I crawl out of my briefcase.
00:21:00I'm sorry I let into you like that back at the apartment.
00:21:03I got you a free drink and...
00:21:06Do you have to be someplace for dinner?
00:21:08No.
00:21:10No, I don't have to be anywhere.
00:21:14Well...
00:21:16Here's to dinner.
00:21:28Here's to dinner.
00:21:38THE END
00:22:17Mr. Forbes, there were three phone calls for you while you were out to lunch.
00:22:20I put them on your desk.
00:22:22Thanks, Micah.
00:22:23And Gruesome's in there waiting for you.
00:22:25Who?
00:22:26Mac.
00:22:30Greetings, friend.
00:22:32You want to see me about something special or do you just like to sit in my chair?
00:22:36Why the chill?
00:22:37Chill?
00:22:38No chill.
00:22:38I've just got a lot of work to do.
00:22:39Sure, sure.
00:22:40I get it.
00:22:43Just been looking over a list of things you recovered from Mona Stevens.
00:22:47Yeah?
00:22:48You must be slipping, Johnny.
00:22:51What about the boat?
00:22:53Boat?
00:22:54What boat?
00:22:55Boat Smiley bought for her.
00:22:58I've got a bill of sale on it from the Nolan company.
00:23:02I must have missed it.
00:23:04You must have.
00:23:05She's quite a girl, isn't she?
00:23:07Yeah.
00:23:09Got another job for you, mate.
00:23:10Fine.
00:23:12I'm always glad to go to work.
00:23:14Maggie, bring in the files in the hall case, will you?
00:23:17Yes, sir.
00:23:17You know, it's a funny thing.
00:23:19Take this Mona Stevens now.
00:23:22Maybe she wouldn't appeal to most guys.
00:23:24But for me, she's got everything.
00:23:27The minute I saw her, it was just like that.
00:23:30I don't think she feels the same about you.
00:23:32Not from what she said yesterday.
00:23:34Oh, she's a little coy, that's all.
00:23:37But once she gets used to me, we'll make a great team.
00:23:40Oh, sorry.
00:23:43The hall case file, Mr. Forbes.
00:23:45Thank you, Maggie.
00:23:48Like I said,
00:23:50she probably doesn't appeal to you.
00:23:53But for me,
00:23:55just what I told the doctor's order.
00:24:03What did you find to talk to her about so long yesterday, Johnny?
00:24:08Look, Mac,
00:24:09are you interested in this job or not?
00:24:11Sure.
00:24:13Sure, I'm sorry.
00:24:16Can't let women interfere with business, can we?
00:24:34Well, hello, come on in.
00:24:35Hello.
00:24:36Just passing by,
00:24:37or did you go out of your way to make this call?
00:24:39I went out of my way.
00:24:40That's nice.
00:24:41Sit down.
00:24:57How's the insurance business?
00:25:00And what's happened in the outside world that I should know about?
00:25:03Well, a couple of things.
00:25:05You took possession of your boat this afternoon.
00:25:08MacDonald found out,
00:25:09I'll let you keep it.
00:25:09He could have caused trouble at the office.
00:25:12MacDonald,
00:25:12he was pounding on my door last night till all hours.
00:25:17Funny, isn't it?
00:25:19I meet someone who's kind,
00:25:20he tries to do something nice for me,
00:25:22and almost immediately he's in trouble.
00:25:25You mean I'm nice?
00:25:27Yes, you tried.
00:25:28You came over and told me personally.
00:25:30You could have told me over the telephone,
00:25:31or just wait until I went down to the boat some Sunday
00:25:34and found it gone.
00:25:37Don't worry about it.
00:25:41Why is it you get attached to things
00:25:43that really don't make any difference?
00:25:45I don't know,
00:25:46but I know how it is.
00:25:48I had a car once that was repossessed.
00:25:50I had 10 cars since,
00:25:51never liked any of them was that one.
00:25:53It was probably your first car.
00:25:55It was.
00:25:56This is my first boat.
00:25:59I wish I could do something to help.
00:26:00Don't try,
00:26:01you'll end up where Smiley is.
00:26:03But,
00:26:05but thanks for wanting to anyway.
00:26:12You're funny.
00:26:14How?
00:26:15You're not at all like the man
00:26:16who walked in here yesterday.
00:26:19Well,
00:26:20from the way you described the man
00:26:21who walked in here yesterday,
00:26:23I'd say anything would be an improvement.
00:26:26Maybe that's what I meant.
00:26:51You decided to adopt me or something?
00:26:53I just wanted to make a report.
00:26:55I didn't get very far in the Hall case today.
00:26:57I was tailing someone else.
00:26:59You.
00:26:59Stay out of my business, Mac.
00:27:01I will,
00:27:01as long as it doesn't interfere with mine.
00:27:03I told you I liked that girl.
00:27:18I don't care what you like or what you don't like.
00:27:21Quit meddling in my life, Mac.
00:27:22All right, Johnny.
00:27:23And don't ever let me catch a prowling
00:27:25around my home again.
00:27:26You won't.
00:27:27You won't.
00:27:40Maybe this will keep you home
00:27:41where you belong for a few days.
00:27:44Don't bother to tell me I'm fired.
00:27:45I quit.
00:28:00You won't.
00:28:29Let's go.
00:28:59All right, fine. Thanks very much.
00:29:02Outside line, please, Mona Stevens.
00:29:08Hello, sir.
00:29:09Hi.
00:29:14Olympic Mutual Insurance Company.
00:29:16Mr. Forbes, please.
00:29:18Mr. Forbes' office.
00:29:19Mr. Forbes, please, Mona Stevens calling.
00:29:21Sorry, Ms. Stevens, he isn't in today.
00:29:23He's home mill.
00:29:25Oh, is it something serious?
00:29:27Oh, no, it's just a code.
00:29:28I'm sure it'll be in a few days.
00:29:30I'll tell him to call.
00:29:31Well, thank you.
00:29:33Oh, Mona.
00:29:34Oh, Terry, may I borrow your car?
00:29:36Sure, okay.
00:29:37I've got a friend who's sick.
00:29:38I'm going to take off an hour.
00:29:39Oh, all right.
00:29:40Terry, what do men like when they're sick?
00:29:42Lots of soup, plenty of babying, and some like bourbon.
00:29:53There, that'll take care of you.
00:29:55Then take it easy.
00:29:56How long will I be laid out?
00:29:58Oh, you'll be all right in the week or two.
00:30:01Did you get much, Johnny?
00:30:03I was only carrying about $20.
00:30:05There were two of them, or he could have handled them, couldn't you, Dad?
00:30:09Yeah, I suppose so.
00:30:11Dad was a boxer in college.
00:30:13Well, I think he was wise to go into the insurance business.
00:30:19I don't know why you won't let me call the police.
00:30:22We've been over that soup.
00:30:23But it worries me, Johnny.
00:30:25I think that those men could be waiting for you right in your own garage.
00:30:28They won't be back.
00:30:30Maybe if they come back, you and I could beat them up, huh, Dad?
00:30:34Why aren't you in school today?
00:30:36It's Saturday.
00:30:38Go on out and play anyway.
00:30:39All right.
00:30:45Pick this up at the drugstore.
00:30:49What is it?
00:30:50A course in boxing.
00:30:51See you later, Johnny.
00:30:53Is there anything else I can get you?
00:30:54Nothing, thanks.
00:30:58What really happened, Johnny?
00:31:01Oh, I'll be up in a few days.
00:31:03Nothing to worry about.
00:31:05All right, Johnny.
00:31:22You play too rough, Tommy Forbes.
00:31:25Now, Tommy, you know your father's sick.
00:31:27You children want to play, run on over to Jimmy's house.
00:31:29Goodbye, Sue.
00:31:30Don't worry about your husband.
00:31:32He'll live.
00:31:32Thanks.
00:31:33Goodbye, doctor.
00:31:45Are you looking for someone?
00:31:49Thank you, yes, but I think I'm on the wrong street.
00:32:02We've missed you, Mr. Forbes.
00:32:04How are you feeling?
00:32:04Much better, thank you, Maggie.
00:32:06You've quite a bit of mail,
00:32:07and I put all the telephone calls on one list.
00:32:09Would you go to the mail for me, please?
00:32:11Oh, sure.
00:32:35How about the fifth, Charlie?
00:32:37I'll be with you in a minute.
00:32:39How much?
00:32:40Johnny, I'm over here.
00:32:44Hello.
00:32:45How are you feeling?
00:32:46Well, much better, thanks.
00:32:47I was laid up for a few days.
00:32:49I know.
00:32:49I thought it was sort of cold, and...
00:32:51Yes, Mac told me about it.
00:32:54Oh.
00:32:55You don't think you'd overlook the chance
00:32:57to play hero in front of me, do you?
00:32:59I didn't come here to talk about Mac.
00:33:01That suits me.
00:33:04What shall we talk about?
00:33:08Well, uh...
00:33:09A couple of things I should have mentioned before.
00:33:13I didn't.
00:33:14You mean like your wife and the fact that you're married?
00:33:19Now you'd like to know how I found out about it.
00:33:21Simple.
00:33:22I heard you were sick.
00:33:24I bought some food to take to you.
00:33:26Voila.
00:33:28High school French.
00:33:31I'm sorry, Mona.
00:33:34I'd rather imagine you are.
00:33:37What can I do?
00:33:40About what?
00:33:42You, of course.
00:33:44What do you want to do?
00:33:46Look, I...
00:33:49I've done something I'm terribly shamed.
00:33:52I'd like to make it up to you.
00:33:54Well, if you think I'm going to stand in competition
00:33:57with a wife and child.
00:34:00Even I've got more sense than that.
00:34:02What's going to happen to you?
00:34:04What do you care, really?
00:34:06Honestly, Johnny, aren't you a little relieved
00:34:08to get out of it this easily?
00:34:10This is a setup, Johnny.
00:34:13This is the kind of girl you've always dreamed about.
00:34:16I'm going to let you off without an angle.
00:34:21I could be nasty.
00:34:23But I'm not going to be.
00:34:25Why?
00:34:27I don't know.
00:34:29But I'm not going to be.
00:34:37Can I buy you a drink?
00:34:39No, you can't.
00:34:41What happens to men like you, Johnny?
00:34:44If I had a nice home like you did,
00:34:46I wouldn't take a chance with it
00:34:47for anything in the world.
00:34:50I'll do anything I can.
00:34:52Will you really?
00:34:54All right.
00:34:56Then go home.
00:34:58Stay there.
00:35:01All right.
00:35:02If that's the way I want it.
00:35:04If that's the way I want it.
00:35:08Have you got any other ideas?
00:35:22You left this the other night.
00:35:24I'm sure you'd be lost without it.
00:35:27Goodbye, Johnny.
00:35:32I'll call you later.
00:35:40May I have your autism?
00:35:49There.
00:35:50Hello, George.
00:35:51Yeah, say, you know all about everything, don't you?
00:35:54Just about.
00:35:55What did you do during the war?
00:35:58Anything I was told?
00:35:59I mean, where were you?
00:36:01Well, most of the time I was stationed in, uh,
00:36:04Denver, Colorado.
00:36:05Denver, Colorado?
00:36:07What's the matter with that?
00:36:08The chaps never got to Denver
00:36:09as long as your father was there.
00:36:11Thanks, dear.
00:36:11Well, anytime.
00:36:12Jimmy's father was decorated.
00:36:15Well, your father got the good conduct medal
00:36:17with four old feet clusters.
00:36:18Really?
00:36:19When did I tell Jimmy?
00:36:20His father only got the silver star.
00:36:23Well, son, I don't think I'd do that if I were you.
00:36:26Might sound like boasting.
00:36:28Are we going to take a trip this year?
00:36:30I don't know.
00:36:30Why?
00:36:31I'm tired of this town all the time.
00:36:34Well, what's the matter with this town?
00:36:35People all over the world would like to live here.
00:36:38That's the trouble with your generation.
00:36:40You don't appreciate the things you have.
00:36:42You've got one of the nicest homes in the block, security.
00:36:44Well, if you want the strangest husband I ever married.
00:36:47It's the trouble with the whole world today.
00:36:49Nobody appreciates what they have.
00:36:51Everybody else's passion looks greener.
00:36:53What's come over you?
00:36:55Contentment.
00:36:56And that's the secret of happiness.
00:36:57And don't you forget it.
00:36:58All right, I won't.
00:37:00Come on, I'll take you to the picture show.
00:37:03No necking in front of the children.
00:37:12Come on, picture show.
00:37:32I'd like to see that one over there.
00:37:33Would you kindly have her step over, please?
00:37:36Certainly, sir.
00:37:39Oh, Miss Stevens.
00:37:40This gentleman would like to see the dress, please.
00:37:47Leave me alone, Mac.
00:37:49You don't understand.
00:37:51I'm buying some things for a girl I know.
00:37:54She happens to be just about your size.
00:37:56Get out of here, Mac.
00:38:00Just a moment.
00:38:02I came here to buy some clothes for a friend of mine.
00:38:05I have the money.
00:38:07Or perhaps if we call the manager.
00:38:10I think you'll find my credit is good enough.
00:38:13If it isn't, I have enough cash on me.
00:38:16Sorry.
00:38:21I'll show you the dress.
00:38:25Would you mind taking off the shawl, please?
00:38:32Off, I said.
00:38:42Would you mind turning slowly so I can see the back?
00:38:51Yes, yes, I like that.
00:38:53I'll take the dress.
00:38:56Now, I'd like to see a few more.
00:39:10Thanks a lot, Terry.
00:39:11See you tomorrow.
00:39:12Good night.
00:39:13Good night, Mona.
00:39:19Work hard today?
00:39:24Give me a cigarette.
00:39:41Back there's no use waiting for me anymore.
00:39:43Don't waste your time.
00:39:46I'm simply not interested.
00:39:48Maybe I feel like wasting my time.
00:39:50All right, let me put it another way.
00:39:52I don't like you.
00:39:53I don't want you around.
00:39:54Sure, but what about me?
00:39:56I've got some feelings.
00:39:58Suppose I like to hang around.
00:39:59It won't do you any good, Mac.
00:40:01Why don't you believe that?
00:40:02Guess I'm just stubborn.
00:40:04Or maybe I figure I know you better than you know yourself.
00:40:08All right.
00:40:09I've asked you nicely.
00:40:12You'd better leave me alone, Mac, or I'm going to call the police.
00:40:15I wouldn't call the police if I were you.
00:40:18You wouldn't want to cause Johnny and Mrs. Forbes any trouble, would you?
00:40:25Why don't we have dinner tonight?
00:40:39Good morning, Mr. Forbes.
00:40:40Good morning, Meg.
00:40:42Good morning.
00:40:43Good morning.
00:40:44Good morning, Eileen.
00:40:45How's every little thing?
00:40:46Just fine.
00:40:49Top of the morning to you, Maggie.
00:40:50Same to you, Mr. Forbes.
00:40:51Here's a telegram for you.
00:41:19Oh, may I help you, sir?
00:41:21Yes, where can I find Miss Stevens?
00:41:23Miss Stevens?
00:41:23Just a moment, I'll get her for you.
00:41:37Hello, Johnny.
00:41:39Well, hello, Mona.
00:41:40It's nice to see you.
00:41:41I hope I didn't inconvenience you asking you to come over here.
00:41:44Not at all.
00:41:45I didn't know you were working here.
00:41:47I wouldn't have bothered you, Johnny, unless it was absolutely necessary.
00:41:51I know that.
00:41:52What is it?
00:41:53It's Mac.
00:41:54I don't know what to do about him.
00:41:56What's he done?
00:41:57He's around all the time.
00:41:58He comes here.
00:41:59He comes to my apartment.
00:42:00He just won't leave me alone.
00:42:02I've even had to ask one of the floor walkers to take me home.
00:42:07What didn't you tell me before?
00:42:08I thought I could discourage him.
00:42:10I even threatened to call the police.
00:42:13He said if I did, he'd go to your wife.
00:42:17He knows I don't want to cause you any trouble, and he's holding it over my head.
00:42:21Oh, that's that.
00:42:24Well, I'm glad you told me.
00:42:27I'll have a talk with him.
00:42:29Everything else all right?
00:42:30Everything's fine.
00:42:33Be careful, Johnny.
00:42:35I will.
00:42:37He won't bother you anymore.
00:42:39Thanks.
00:42:41Goodbye.
00:42:42Goodbye.
00:42:53Where's MacDonald?
00:42:54He's gone for the day.
00:42:56Where'd I find him?
00:42:58How should I know?
00:42:59Maybe he's gone home.
00:43:05Maybe he's gone.
00:43:06Any message?
00:43:07Any message?
00:43:36This is just a warning, Mac.
00:43:39If you're real smart, she'll take it seriously.
00:43:41Leave the girl alone. Stay away from her.
00:43:43If I ever hear that you threaten to do anything about my family again,
00:43:46I'll kill you, Mac. I mean that.
00:43:53Here you are, sir. Next pass.
00:44:08Why should you bother? What's this mean to you?
00:44:10It doesn't mean a thing to me.
00:44:12I just don't like to see a guy get a bad deal.
00:44:15Who's getting a bad deal?
00:44:16Look, I was the insurance investigator.
00:44:19I met your girl. I know all about Forbes.
00:44:22What are you talking about? Who's Forbes?
00:44:23I'm telling you, Forbes was the insurance man.
00:44:26He's a nice-looking guy. I guess your girl kind of took a fancy to him.
00:44:30What are you trying to tell me?
00:44:32Nothing at all, pal. You better calm down.
00:44:35I just don't like to see anyone get a raw deal.
00:44:37Where did you meet my girl?
00:44:39I told you, I was the insurance investigator.
00:44:41How do you know so much?
00:44:43Anyway, so what if it's true, what am I supposed to do, bust out of here?
00:44:47I didn't mean to get you so upset.
00:44:49But didn't you? Then what are you doing here?
00:44:52Who's Forbes and who are you? And how do you know so much?
00:44:55I guess I better go.
00:44:57I guess you better. Leave me alone.
00:44:59I was just trying to give you a break, that's all.
00:45:02Don't do me any favors, I don't even know you.
00:45:04Anyway, how do I know you're not lying?
00:45:06You don't? So long, pal.
00:45:23Tell me, I'll borrow your car this afternoon.
00:45:25Sure, going to the beach, it's a lovely day.
00:45:28No, I thought I'd go see Bill Smiley.
00:45:30Again? I thought that was all over, Mona.
00:45:34He's getting out tomorrow, we have some plans to make.
00:45:36Aren't you making a mistake starting that up again?
00:45:40I've been thinking.
00:45:42We might as well try to make some sort of life for ourselves.
00:45:45But I don't understand. I thought there was someone else.
00:45:48As a matter of fact, I...
00:45:49There isn't anyone else.
00:45:51Sorry.
00:45:56Well, well, well. Back to see the boyfriend?
00:45:58Oh, it's just that I'd rather spend the afternoon here than on a hot, stuffy beach.
00:46:02I thought maybe you were sort of getting interested in me.
00:46:04Women have done it before, you know.
00:46:06Women have taken poison before, but that's no recommendation for poison.
00:46:10She's right, you know.
00:46:11Yeah.
00:46:38Hello, Bill.
00:46:41I've got it all figured out, Bill.
00:46:44You're getting out tomorrow.
00:46:47I think we ought to get out of town.
00:46:55What do you think about that, Bill?
00:46:57What do you think about leaving town?
00:46:59Who's Forbes?
00:47:02What are you talking about?
00:47:03And who's this guy who's been coming to see me?
00:47:05McDonald.
00:47:06Who is he?
00:47:07What do you mean he's been coming to see you?
00:47:09He's been driving me crazy.
00:47:11Who is he?
00:47:11Who is this Forbes he keeps talking about?
00:47:14Look, Bill, let's not get tangled up in a lot of things that don't matter.
00:47:17Don't matter to who?
00:47:18Who is this guy who keeps coming to see me?
00:47:21Anything he tells you, Bill, don't pay any attention to him.
00:47:23It doesn't matter.
00:47:23What do you mean it doesn't matter?
00:47:25I've got to sit here 24 hours every day and think about it.
00:47:28Who is he?
00:47:29He's someone who is quite interested in me.
00:47:32I wouldn't have anything to do with him.
00:47:35He's sore about it.
00:47:37That's why he's bothering you.
00:47:39That's great.
00:47:40I sit in jail.
00:47:42I don't know who this guy is.
00:47:43He's making a play for you.
00:47:44Who?
00:47:45He comes to me with some story about somebody with the name of Forbes, I...
00:47:52Where's your ring?
00:47:56I gave it back, Bill.
00:47:59That's why you're getting out.
00:48:00Tomorrow I give all the things back.
00:48:02Thanks.
00:48:03Thanks a lot.
00:48:04I sit here sweating it out to give you some things and you take them back.
00:48:07Maybe that guy, whoever he is, is right.
00:48:10He could be wrong, too.
00:48:12We'll see.
00:48:14I want to find out about a lot of things.
00:48:16There's a lot of things I want to know.
00:48:45Oh, hello.
00:48:46Hello.
00:48:48For a girl who asked you to stay away from me.
00:48:50I call you up an awful lot.
00:48:52That's all right.
00:48:53Is Mac bothering you again?
00:48:55Not me.
00:48:56Smiley.
00:48:57What do you mean?
00:48:58He's been getting into jail to see Smiley.
00:49:00I don't know how.
00:49:03He used to be on the police force.
00:49:06He told Smiley all about us.
00:49:09Mac's been needling him until he's almost out of his mind.
00:49:16I'm sorry, Johnny.
00:49:18You're sorry.
00:49:20You couldn't help it.
00:49:22What is this going on?
00:49:23I thought the whole thing was finished.
00:49:25If you don't mind, it isn't exactly easy on me either.
00:49:28I sort of figured it was half your problem, too.
00:49:30What do you want me to do?
00:49:32I don't want you to do anything.
00:49:36I needed someone to talk to.
00:49:37I thought you were the one.
00:49:38You want me to talk to him?
00:49:40He wouldn't do any good.
00:49:44When is he getting out?
00:49:45Tomorrow.
00:49:47I don't want him to get into any trouble.
00:49:49And I don't want him to ruin anything for you.
00:49:53He won't ruin anything for me.
00:50:01I'm sorry I bothered you, Johnny.
00:50:04I just thought you ought to know.
00:50:07Thanks, Ma.
00:50:29Maggie, see if Mr. Brawley's in.
00:50:31I want to talk with him.
00:50:33Sounds very much like a case of temporary insanity.
00:50:37You take a chance of losing your family, your job.
00:50:41For what?
00:50:42I've already asked myself that question several times.
00:50:47What do I do now? Tell Sue?
00:50:49You most certainly do not.
00:50:51You've got something eating away at your conscience.
00:50:54And if you think you're going to ease it by making her life miserable,
00:50:57you've got another thing coming.
00:51:00Supposing she finds out,
00:51:02would it be better coming from me?
00:51:04You can't change anything that's happened by telling her.
00:51:08I assume you're still interested in keeping your marriage together.
00:51:13You know I am and do anything.
00:51:14You've done too much already.
00:51:17John, you want to have your head beaten in.
00:51:19I already have.
00:51:21I don't know what to say.
00:51:24Do you want to go to the police?
00:51:26I'm not interested in telling this to anybody else.
00:51:29Do you want to take Sue and Tommy and get out of town for a while?
00:51:33What good would that do?
00:51:34Have to face it sometime.
00:51:37You know I don't know why I bother to tell you.
00:51:39I don't either.
00:51:50You know I don't mean that.
00:51:52I'll do everything I can.
00:51:54I know.
00:51:55We'll think of something.
00:51:57Should better.
00:52:03How does it feel to be a decent, respectable married man?
00:52:28Johnny.
00:52:32Johnny.
00:52:34Huh?
00:52:36You want to talk about it?
00:52:39Talk about what?
00:52:42Whatever's on your mind.
00:52:46You've been reading the same page of that paper for an hour.
00:52:50Something's been troubling you for weeks.
00:52:52Don't you think I know?
00:52:59It isn't Johnny.
00:53:01Either it's a marriage or it isn't.
00:53:04If you have any troubles, they're half mine.
00:53:08Maybe you wouldn't want half of them.
00:53:10Whether I want them or not, I have a right to them.
00:53:15Yeah, I guess you do it then.
00:53:17After all, nothing's too tough for us.
00:53:19We won the war together.
00:53:21You brought Tommy through pneumonia.
00:53:26What is it, Johnny?
00:53:30Johnny.
00:53:31So, I...
00:53:33I don't know how to tell you.
00:53:36I...
00:53:37Daddy! Mother! Daddy!
00:53:40Mother! Daddy!
00:53:43Mother! Daddy!
00:53:44Daddy!
00:53:46Mama!
00:53:47Honey, what's the matter?
00:53:53I'm scared.
00:53:54I'm scared of the wires.
00:53:56He's soaking wet.
00:53:58I saw something.
00:54:00He probably had a nightmare.
00:54:03What'd you see, fella?
00:54:05I don't know. Something was coming after me.
00:54:08Oh, no. Nothing was coming after you.
00:54:11It was too. I saw it.
00:54:13Where?
00:54:14I don't know. Coming in the window, I guess.
00:54:17Nothing was coming in the window.
00:54:22See? There's nothing out there.
00:54:26You just had a bad dream.
00:54:33Is this what you were reading before you went to sleep tonight?
00:54:38Yes.
00:54:39When I was a kid, it was too much supper. Now it's comic books.
00:54:42Where does he get the stuff?
00:54:43Grandma sent them to me.
00:54:45They were for his birthday. I'll burn them tomorrow.
00:54:47No!
00:54:48While you're at it, singe her a little too.
00:54:50I'd love to, darling.
00:54:53It was your mother this time.
00:54:57Everything under control, Chief?
00:54:58I think so.
00:55:00Daddy, what makes a dream?
00:55:02The mind, mostly.
00:55:04The mind is like a very wonderful camera.
00:55:07You know how a camera works?
00:55:09Sure, it takes pictures.
00:55:10That's right.
00:55:12That's the way the mind works.
00:55:15Evidently, from the day we were born, the mind takes pictures and stores them away.
00:55:20Now and then, one of those pictures comes loose in our sleep,
00:55:23and that becomes a dream.
00:55:26So, the trick is,
00:55:28take only good pictures and have only good dreams.
00:55:37I think he's asleep.
00:55:39He'll be all right now.
00:56:20and he's asleep.
00:56:22And he's asleep.
00:56:22And he's asleep.
00:56:30You want me to fix you something?
00:56:31No thanks, I'm not hungry.
00:56:32I'll just drink this morning.
00:56:35You know, sometimes I'm awfully proud of myself.
00:56:38Why?
00:56:40For giving Tommy such a wonderful father.
00:56:43He thinks you're the greatest guy on earth.
00:56:47He could be wrong.
00:56:49My son is never wrong.
00:56:52What were you going to tell me upstairs?
00:56:56You know, I believe I could eat something at that.
00:56:58Maybe some eggs.
00:57:02So you don't want to talk about it?
00:57:05It'll be all right, Sue. It isn't important.
00:57:07There's something in the office.
00:57:24Yeah?
00:57:24My name is Forbes.
00:57:25I want to see one of your prisoners, Smiley, William Smiley.
00:57:30What do you want to see him about?
00:57:31I'm from the Olympic Mutual Insurance Company.
00:57:33He was involved in one of our bonding policies.
00:57:36Isn't that funny?
00:57:37He was let out at 8 o'clock this morning and he left with you.
00:57:40Only at 8 o'clock this morning you were a dark fat guy and your name was McDonald.
00:57:43No.
00:57:46Thanks.
00:57:49Ain't we whimsical today?
00:57:51Like working for the city?
00:57:53Shut up.
00:58:02McDonald around?
00:58:04No.
00:58:07Expect him?
00:58:09No, he took the day off.
00:58:12Thanks.
00:58:17Close that door.
00:58:28Hello, Bill.
00:58:30Hi.
00:58:34Celebrating?
00:58:36I don't blame you.
00:58:39We'll really do the town tonight.
00:58:44How about a drink for me?
00:58:46Sure.
00:58:55I didn't know what time you were getting out or I would have been there to meet you.
00:58:58That would have been nice.
00:59:06It's sort of funny, isn't it?
00:59:08What?
00:59:09Looking at each other like this without a screen between us.
00:59:12Maybe it was better when it was only screen.
00:59:24I guess if you don't want to kiss me, I can't twist your arm.
00:59:28Who says I don't?
00:59:41Do they give one to everyone who's getting out?
00:59:43A friend of yours was kind enough to lend it to me.
00:59:45If they caught you even carrying this, you'd be back in there for good.
00:59:49You seem to get along all right without me.
00:59:52I don't believe everything you hear.
00:59:54I don't believe anything.
00:59:55I want you to tell me.
00:59:57Miss McDonald, what's his angle?
00:59:59Why does he hop me all up on booze and then give me a gun?
01:00:01Bill, we've got a chance to build a decent life now.
01:00:04If you get into trouble again, we won't have anything.
01:00:06Why should I get in trouble?
01:00:09Why should I get in trouble?
01:00:14You don't know Mac.
01:00:15How do you know him?
01:00:15He was after me, Bill. He'll do anything.
01:00:17Why does he want me to kill Forbes?
01:00:18He's jealous of him.
01:00:19Is he jealous of him?
01:00:20Why does he have any reason to be jealous of Forbes?
01:00:23It's all over now, Bill. It never amounted to anything, really.
01:00:26In order for something to be over, it's got to start first.
01:00:29We all make mistakes, Bill. You made one.
01:00:32For you. Don't tell me you did this for me.
01:00:35All right, I was wrong.
01:00:37Didn't you ever hear forgiving anyone?
01:00:42You, I can forgive.
01:00:44That guy, no.
01:00:46He takes back the things I'm sweating out of jail rap to get for you,
01:00:49and then he takes you.
01:00:54It wasn't that way at all, Bill.
01:00:57We'll see.
01:00:58Bill, please.
01:01:01Please.
01:01:02And then, as they came around the corner,
01:01:05John and Ted, the fun-loving Busbys,
01:01:07came upon an ancient grizzled mountain lion.
01:01:10With perfect coordination, the two boys dove for shelter.
01:01:13Why didn't they use the ray guns?
01:01:15Well, these are the Busby boys.
01:01:17They don't have ray guns. They use slingshots.
01:01:19Dopes.
01:01:21Now, really, Sue, I'm getting awfully worried about the terrible trash he reads.
01:01:25Torturing women, men from Mars.
01:01:27All right, darling.
01:01:28But even I can't stand much more than Busby boys tonight.
01:01:33I'll get it.
01:01:44Hello?
01:01:45Johnny, this is Mona.
01:01:48Has Smiley been there?
01:01:51Here?
01:01:52No, why?
01:01:52He got out today.
01:01:54I know that.
01:01:55I've been with him all day.
01:01:56He's very belligerent.
01:01:56Matt gave him a gun.
01:01:58He's been threatening to go over to see you.
01:02:00He ran out of the apartment this afternoon, but I found him.
01:02:03Where is he now?
01:02:04I don't know.
01:02:05We were in a little bar.
01:02:06He's been drinking.
01:02:06I went to call the cabin.
01:02:07He ran out.
01:02:08I came right back to the apartment, and he isn't here.
01:02:11All right.
01:02:11I'll watch out for him.
01:02:12I don't want him hurt, Johnny.
01:02:14I don't want him thrown back in jail.
01:02:16I'll take care of it.
01:02:17I'll come right over.
01:02:19You stay right where you are.
01:02:20But, Johnny, I know how to handle him.
01:02:22Look, you know you can't come over here.
01:02:24You stay right there, and I'll call you after I've talked to him.
01:02:44Who was it?
01:02:45Nobody.
01:02:45Chief, how do I go to a picture show?
01:02:48I'm in it.
01:02:48Get up.
01:02:49Get dressed.
01:02:49Johnny, are you out of your mind?
01:02:51It's almost 9 o'clock.
01:02:52You can get the last show.
01:02:52Sure.
01:02:53I don't know what's come over you.
01:02:55I'm not going to any show tonight.
01:02:57Get back in bed.
01:02:58Oh, Mom.
01:03:00Here.
01:03:13Johnny.
01:03:15What's the matter with you?
01:03:16Well, it's the man coming out from the office.
01:03:19I wanted to talk with him alone.
01:03:20Well, we've got more than one room in the house.
01:03:22You can talk to him downstairs.
01:03:23All right.
01:03:42All right.
01:04:02Let's go.
01:04:06Let's go.
01:04:07Let's go.
01:04:09Let's go.
01:04:11Let's go.
01:04:12Let's go upstairs, will you?
01:04:13I'm sorry we couldn't go to the movies.
01:04:15I want you to know something.
01:04:17I'll go to the movies anytime you want me to go with you.
01:04:20Oh, thanks, son.
01:04:21Good night.
01:04:23Good night, Dad.
01:04:36Good night, Dad.
01:05:00Good night.
01:05:30Good night.
01:05:31Get out of here, Smiley.
01:05:32Are you Forbes?
01:05:33I'll talk to you tomorrow.
01:05:35Why not now?
01:05:36You're drunk.
01:05:39How do you know?
01:05:40Give us both a break.
01:05:41Get going.
01:05:42Did Mona tell you I was coming?
01:05:44I'm not kidding.
01:05:44Get moving.
01:05:47And stay away from here.
01:05:52Let's go.
01:05:55Let's go.
01:06:33Tommy, you get right back in your room and stay there.
01:06:39Johnny.
01:06:40Johnny.
01:06:41Johnny.
01:06:43What happened?
01:06:45Are you all right?
01:06:47Sue, you better call the police.
01:06:49I just killed a man.
01:06:51You better call him a man.
01:06:54I know.
01:07:06Give him time and see him.
01:07:07You better call him the police.
01:07:10You better call him a man.
01:07:10To be a man.
01:07:10To be a man.
01:07:16See you.
01:07:16He's been here.
01:07:17I'll be right back.
01:07:21What's the matter, Mona? Having a little trouble?
01:07:33Unit 12T. Ambulance traffic. Hollywood and Vine.
01:07:3612T. Ambulance traffic. Hollywood and Vine.
01:07:41Nervous?
01:07:43Why don't you get out of here?
01:07:45Unit 11A at 390 down, Santa Monica and Las Palmas.
01:07:50Unit 11A at 390 down, Santa Monica and Las Palmas.
01:07:54Just a drunk at Las Palmas. Nothing to get upset about.
01:07:58Unit 11A at 390 down, Santa Monica and Las Palmas.
01:08:04Unit 11A at 390 down, Santa Monica and Las Palmas.
01:08:10Why doesn't Johnny call?
01:08:12Maybe he can't.
01:08:14I'll give you my word, Mac.
01:08:16If anything happens to either one of them,
01:08:18I'll see that the police kept the whole story on you.
01:08:20What did I do?
01:08:21You gave Smiley the gun.
01:08:22Who said so?
01:08:23He says so.
01:08:27Anyway, don't you think they can trace it to you?
01:08:29Not unless they're a lot smarter than they were when I was on the force.
01:08:31All units in the vicinity of 5424 Bradner Drive, Code 3.
01:08:49That's Johnny's address.
01:08:52All units in the vicinity of 5424 Bradner Drive, Code 3.
01:09:16Don't go over there.
01:09:17Besides, you don't know what you're running into.
01:09:20Somebody's been shot.
01:09:21But you don't know whether it's Smiley, Johnny or Johnny's wife.
01:09:34There's an easier way.
01:09:35Wait a minute.
01:09:36All units in the vicinity of...
01:09:54Lieutenant House, please.
01:09:56Hello, Fred.
01:09:57This is McDonald.
01:10:01Yeah, fine, thanks.
01:10:05You see, I was just riding down Bradner Drive, 5400 block.
01:10:10I saw a big commotion over there.
01:10:12I wondered if you had anything on it.
01:10:15Yeah, thanks.
01:10:23You were going to who and tell them about me?
01:10:28Yeah, Fred.
01:10:35I see.
01:10:37A prowler?
01:10:38Anybody hurt?
01:10:40Uh-huh.
01:10:43Yeah.
01:10:46I see.
01:10:46All right.
01:10:48Yeah, thanks, Freddy.
01:10:50I just thought there might be something in it for me.
01:10:54Yeah, thanks.
01:11:00What is it, Mac?
01:11:01Smiley.
01:11:08How do you like that, Johnny?
01:11:11You told him Smiley was a prowler.
01:11:15What happened to Johnny?
01:11:17We'll read about it in the papers tomorrow.
01:11:20But you better start thinking about yourself.
01:11:22We'll take a car trip for a few days.
01:11:26I know how you feel about this.
01:11:30Yeah.
01:11:31Yeah, where are your bags?
01:11:34Get you packed.
01:11:51I know it's funny.
01:11:55I didn't figure it would work out this well.
01:12:03I thought they'd throw a scare into each other.
01:12:06Imagine Johnny killing him.
01:12:08I'd think he had more sense.
01:12:14You'll have to help me a little with this packing.
01:12:20Smiley wasn't a bad guy.
01:12:23Never hurt anyone, really.
01:12:25Of course he didn't.
01:12:27Didn't hurt anyone.
01:12:28Didn't help anyone.
01:12:31He wasn't anything.
01:12:32He was a nice guy.
01:12:34It wasn't enough.
01:12:35For who?
01:12:36Me.
01:12:38People were born to have certain things.
01:12:41Smiley didn't have the nerve.
01:12:43And Forbes didn't have the chance.
01:12:46So it's me you end up with.
01:12:53I think we'll spend a few days in San Francisco.
01:12:56Then we'll cut across to Reno.
01:12:59Do you like gambling, Mona?
01:13:02You know, I'm a great gambler, Mona.
01:13:04But what's more important, I'm a lucky gambler.
01:13:08Look at this thing tonight, for instance.
01:13:10It was a thousand to one shot.
01:13:12I'd get rid of both of them at once.
01:13:16You'll forget about Smiley in a few days.
01:13:19You don't think so now, but you will.
01:13:26You haven't thought about it yet, but when you do, you'll realize.
01:13:30The only reason I did all this was because I...
01:13:33I really love you.
01:13:36I don't think so.
01:13:48Tell the boys to get the stretch room, will you?
01:13:50Get all the information you needed?
01:13:52I'll be through in a minute.
01:13:53Hurry it up. I'd like to be home before midnight.
01:13:54I haven't had a decent night's sleep in weeks.
01:13:56I haven't either.
01:13:57How about you?
01:13:58Okay.
01:13:59Button it up, will you?
01:14:01Well, Mr. Forbes, about ready to go.
01:14:03There'll be a few routine questions that we'll have to ask you,
01:14:05so keep yourself available for the coroner's inquest.
01:14:08Thanks a lot. You've been very cooperative.
01:14:12Good night.
01:14:24Good night.
01:14:24We're leaving now, Miss Forbes.
01:14:25Better have somebody board up that window.
01:14:27Good night.
01:14:28Good night.
01:14:28Good night.
01:14:41Johnny, I know I terribly must feel about this,
01:14:45but the important thing is that you weren't hurt.
01:14:48It could have been so much worse.
01:14:51There's not going to be any trouble.
01:14:55Try to forget about it, Johnny.
01:14:56Please try.
01:15:00I'll pick you a cup of coffee.
01:15:48I want to talk with you.
01:15:55Here we go.
01:15:56Sit down, Sue, I've got to get this off of my mind or I'll go crazy.
01:16:01I've been covering one lie with another alum nearly out of my mind.
01:16:04This man I killed tonight, he wasn't a prowler, I knew he was coming.
01:16:08That's why I wanted you and Tommy out of the house.
01:16:10He had good reasons for wanting to kill me, Sue.
01:16:12Better reasons than I had for killing him.
01:16:14Why should anyone want to kill you?
01:16:16Because of his girl.
01:16:17I met her on a case a couple of months ago.
01:16:19She was the one who phoned and told me he was coming.
01:16:22What about this girl?
01:16:24This man, Smiley, just got out of jail today and somebody told him a lot of things about her and
01:16:30me.
01:16:31Were they true?
01:16:36Yes.
01:16:37I don't know what I can possibly say, I can't give you an explanation.
01:16:41I wanted to tell you, I tried.
01:16:52Sue, say something.
01:16:59Please, say something, I can't go on with this on my conscience.
01:17:02Conscience.
01:17:03You make it sound like a dirty word.
01:17:06You're worrying about your filthy little conscience.
01:17:08But I've got my son to think about.
01:17:10I thought about that, too.
01:17:12And ended up by covering one lie after another, and now a man is dead.
01:17:16I can't lie anymore.
01:17:23I wanted you to know before I went to the police.
01:17:26You're not going to the police.
01:17:28You lied once, came easy enough for you then.
01:17:30You've got to lie now.
01:17:32I mean this, Johnny.
01:17:33If you drag this family through the dirt, I'll never forgive you.
01:17:52You're not going to die now.
01:17:53I don't even die now.
01:17:57I've never been a part of those who did it the scene in my life.
01:17:58You've never set it.
01:18:04I'll never die.
01:18:09I've never done it.
01:18:10It's never been a part of those who will happen.
01:18:19THE END
01:18:55I was just reading about it, Mr. Forbes
01:19:01Yeah, I guess we hit all the papers
01:19:04I didn't think you'd be in today
01:19:06Might as well be here anywhere
01:19:09You're in awfully early, aren't you?
01:19:12Early to bed, early to rise
01:19:14There are a couple of men from the district attorney's office waiting inside
01:19:20All right
01:19:26Mr. Forbes
01:19:29Yeah
01:19:32We're from the district attorney's office
01:19:35I know
01:19:36There's a couple of questions we'd like to ask you about last night, Mr. Forbes
01:19:43Look, uh
01:19:46I've decided to
01:19:48Make a full statement on the case
01:19:51Quite a few things I didn't tell the police last night
01:19:54Maybe we'd better go down to the district attorney's office
01:19:57Let's go
01:20:00When he arrived the first time, I chased him away
01:20:04He came back broken the window
01:20:05I knew he had a gun
01:20:07I had to kill him
01:20:09You wouldn't have had to if you'd called the police in the first place
01:20:11I've explained to you the reasons I felt I couldn't do that
01:20:15Reasons
01:20:16They make a lot of sense now, don't they?
01:20:20Well, it all checks
01:20:21Your statement, report of our investigator
01:20:23The statement Miss Stevens gave us
01:20:26Mona Stevens been here?
01:20:28She's here now, upstairs, under arrest
01:20:31For what?
01:20:34That depends on McDonald
01:20:36She shot him
01:20:39If he dies, it's one thing
01:20:40If he doesn't, it's another
01:20:48Can I talk to her?
01:20:49Nobody can talk to her
01:20:50Go on, get out of here
01:20:52I'd like to hold you, all right
01:20:54Personally, I think we've got the wrong person in the cell upstairs
01:20:56There's nothing I can do about it
01:20:58It so happens the homicide you committed was justifiable
01:21:02Bill Smiley was coming to kill you
01:21:07Just a little call to the police
01:21:09And you could have avoided all this mess
01:21:13But no, you kill a man
01:21:17And that's not a pleasant thing to live with for the rest of your life
01:21:24Or don't things like that bother you?
01:21:30Go on, get out of here
01:21:57Go on, get out of here
01:21:58Let's go.
01:22:40Now, now.
01:23:00Now, now.
01:23:30How did you know I was here?
01:23:33I phoned.
01:23:40I'm taking Tommy out of school.
01:23:43I suppose that's best.
01:23:47How much does he know about everything?
01:23:49You can't expect to keep too much from a child of his age.
01:23:53I think you should ask Ed for a transfer to some other town.
01:23:58Are you sure you don't want a divorce, Sue?
01:24:00I've thought about it.
01:24:02I thought about it a lot.
01:24:04I almost made up my mind.
01:24:07Then I got to thinking.
01:24:09For a man has always been a good husband except for 24 hours.
01:24:12How long should he be expected to pay for it?
01:24:16I don't know, Sue.
01:24:18Well, I suppose some people would say forever.
01:24:22I'm not sure it'll ever be the same.
01:24:24Not for a long time anyway.
01:24:27But we've weathered other things.
01:24:29Maybe we can handle this.
01:24:33That's, of course, if you want to try.
01:24:36Of course I do.
01:24:38All right.
01:24:40That's what we'll do then.
01:24:41We'll try.
01:24:42All right.
01:25:11All right.
01:25:12You.
01:25:13All right.
01:25:13I love you.
01:25:17All to us.
01:25:18I love you.
01:25:20We'll try you next time again.
