1. Hey, fellas, give a look.
How about that good-bye drink, Johnny?Copy !req
2. - Why not? One bar's just like another.
- So long as they got bourbon.Copy !req
3. Or a reasonable facsimile.Copy !req
4. - Yes, sir?
- Bourbon straight with a bourbon chaser.Copy !req
5. - The same.
- Two separate glasses. Get it?Copy !req
6. Why wouldn't I get it?Copy !req
7. Got to have that monkey music in here?Copy !req
8. - Somebody call me a monkey?
- Give that thing a rest, will you?Copy !req
9. Pipe down. It's his nickel.Copy !req
10. Somebody call me a monkey?Copy !req
11. Nobody called nobody nothing.
Just forget it, will you?Copy !req
12. - That thing gives me a headache.
- Well, ain't that a pity.Copy !req
13. - I told you I had a headache.
- Put that back, but quick.Copy !req
14. - You put it back.
- Why you...Copy !req
15. Quit it, Buzz!Copy !req
16. - Steady, Corporal.
- Get out of my way!Copy !req
17. I said steady. You didn't get those stripes
from blowing your top.Copy !req
18. Hey, cut that out. Cut it out. Do you hear?Copy !req
19. You two guys want to fight so bad,
why don't you get into a uniform?Copy !req
20. What do you figure I had on when I got this?
Huh?Copy !req
21. What do you figure?Copy !req
22. There's a plate in there as big as your brains.
Maybe bigger.Copy !req
23. Well, I don't want no roughhouse in here.Copy !req
24. Go on, get back to your bar
before you get a face full of knuckles.Copy !req
25. Come on, Buzz.Copy !req
26. - Hey, who's paying for that broken cord?
- Save it.Copy !req
27. If it's long enough, you can hang yourself.Copy !req
28. - Okay, now you got that out of your system.
- Thing was getting my goat.Copy !req
29. - My mistake, fella.
- That's okay. Skip it.Copy !req
30. - So long.
- So long.Copy !req
31. Bye.Copy !req
32. Hey, we better get going, too,
if we're gonna catch that bus.Copy !req
33. Hey, look, dope, we already caught the bus.Copy !req
34. - Yeah, that's right. We did, didn't we?
- Yeah.Copy !req
35. I must be getting dumb.Copy !req
36. Here's to you, Johnny.Copy !req
37. Yeah, you lucky stiff, at least you got
a wife to come home to.Copy !req
38. Boy, if I had a wife and kid
to come home to... What's the matter?Copy !req
39. I must be getting old.
That stuff kicks me right in the teeth.Copy !req
40. When do we get to meet her, Johnny?Copy !req
41. Any time. The door will always be open.Copy !req
42. We won't need no dress suit
to get in there, will we?Copy !req
43. That Cavendish Court hotel and bungalow
sounds like a lot of dough.Copy !req
44. - I...
- I, uh...Copy !req
45. I got a lead on an apartment.
If it comes through, we'll give you a ring.Copy !req
46. Good.Copy !req
47. Well, here's to what was.Copy !req
48. - Take care of our boy, George.
- You bet I will.Copy !req
49. - See you soon.
- Okay.Copy !req
50. - Johnny?
- Yeah?Copy !req
51. Don't you think you ought to call her
before you go home?Copy !req
52. Maybe.Copy !req
53. - He don't sound very happy, somehow.
- No.Copy !req
54. - Mrs Morrison, please.
- What name shall I say?Copy !req
55. - Mrs Morrison's my wife.
- Oh, yes, sir.Copy !req
56. Oh, would you mind if I surprised her?Copy !req
57. No, of course not.
Take Mr Morrison to Bungalow 93.Copy !req
58. - This way, please.
- Thank you.Copy !req
59. Surprise is right.Copy !req
60. - What did you say, honey?
- Nothing to you.Copy !req
61. Some fun, huh?Copy !req
62. I'll take it from here.Copy !req
63. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
64. Hi, beautiful! Looking for me?Copy !req
65. - I'm afraid not. I'm looking for my wife.
- The place is full of 'em.Copy !req
66. You are beautiful. What's your name, huh?Copy !req
67. Morrison. Does my wife live here?Copy !req
68. What's so funny?Copy !req
69. Hey, hey! Look who's here.Copy !req
70. Helen's got a husband!Copy !req
71. Relax.Copy !req
72. Hey, Helen, why didn't you tell us
you had something like this?Copy !req
73. Johnny!Copy !req
74. - Why didn't you let me know?
- I wanted to surprise you.Copy !req
75. Well, take off your coat, Johnny.
You're home, you know.Copy !req
76. - It's been a long time, Helen.
- Much too long.Copy !req
77. - You're not in uniform.
- No, they decided I had enough for a while.Copy !req
78. - So they put me on the inactive list.
- Oh?Copy !req
79. Buzz and George are out, too.Copy !req
80. Buzz was wounded,
and George's eyes went back on him.Copy !req
81. - Buzz and George?
- My crew.Copy !req
82. I used to write you about them.
Don't you remember?Copy !req
83. Oh, sure. It's great to have you back, Johnny.Copy !req
84. - Come and meet my friends.
- Oh, must I now?Copy !req
85. Well, certainly. Dick, hold the piano a while.
Hold it.Copy !req
86. Please, everybody,
come and meet my husband.Copy !req
87. This is lieutenant commander John Morrison
of the United States Navy.Copy !req
88. He's just back from the South Pacific.
Johnny, this is Charlie and Beverly.Copy !req
89. - How do you do?
- Rick and Carmen... Eddie! Eddie!Copy !req
90. - We were based on Quadulan.
- (Man) What were you flying, sir?Copy !req
91. - Liberators.
- (Helen) Excuse me, Dick.Copy !req
92. - (Helen) Johnny, this is Eddie Harwood.
- I'm glad to know you.Copy !req
93. I've heard a lot about you.
I guess you've had a rough time of it.Copy !req
94. I'm afraid my experiences are pretty dull.Copy !req
95. I can't believe that.
Hey, wouldn't you like a drink?Copy !req
96. Not right now, thanks.
I'd like to get cleaned up a little.Copy !req
97. Oh, take your things in there, Johnny.Copy !req
98. Excuse me.Copy !req
99. - I think I better breeze.
- Why?Copy !req
100. Pretty obvious why.Copy !req
101. Oh, suppose there is. So what? Pardon me...Copy !req
102. Well, if it ain't my beautiful man!Copy !req
103. You and I are gonna have
a little drink together right now.Copy !req
104. Hey, where you going?Copy !req
105. - You've got the wrong lipstick on, mister.
- Stop it!Copy !req
106. You're entirely right.Copy !req
107. Sorry.Copy !req
108. Forget it.Copy !req
109. Ladies and gentlemen,
I think you'd better leave.Copy !req
110. My husband would like to be alone with me.
He probably wants to beat me up.Copy !req
111. - Perhaps you want me to apologise.
- Apologise, darling?Copy !req
112. But you don't have to. You're a hero.
A hero can get away with anything.Copy !req
113. It seems I've lost my manners.Copy !req
114. Or would anyone here know the difference?Copy !req
115. I don't care what she says.
I think you're wonderful.Copy !req
116. What are you doing?Copy !req
117. Looking at this photograph of Dickey.
I've never seen it before.Copy !req
118. - Why didn't you send me one?
- I thought I had.Copy !req
119. Let's talk this out, Helen.Copy !req
120. Would you mind not drinking any more,
just...Copy !req
121. Oh, for heaven's sakes, don't start preaching.Copy !req
122. I take all the drinks I like,
any time, any place.Copy !req
123. I go where I want to with anybody I want.Copy !req
124. I just happen to be that kind of a girl.Copy !req
125. I'd have thought Dickey's death
would have made a little more difference.Copy !req
126. We lived in a five-room house,
and I did the laundry.Copy !req
127. And I never went anywhere
'cause I had a kid to look after.Copy !req
128. I don't have a kid to look after anymore.Copy !req
129. And the people I go with now don't use
a kiss as an excuse to sock each other.Copy !req
130. Keep on drinking that
and you won't need an excuse.Copy !req
131. Really?Copy !req
132. You're not paying for my drinks.Copy !req
133. Well, why don't you answer it?Copy !req
134. You want to run everything else around here.Copy !req
135. Hello?Copy !req
136. This is Johnny. Oh, hello, Buzz.
You got the place, huh?Copy !req
137. Yeah. Yeah. Where George lived before.
Walked right into it.Copy !req
138. Yeah, there was 19 guys ahead of us,
but they like George, here.Copy !req
139. Oh, that's great, Buzz.
Hey, what's your telephone number?Copy !req
140. HillsideCopy !req
141. 8-6-6-1. Okay. Bye.Copy !req
142. - The boys found an apartment.
- Yes?Copy !req
143. - I didn't know these things were ever blue.
- They're Eddie Harwood's calling cards.Copy !req
144. He owns a night club on the strip
called the Blue Dahlia.Copy !req
145. Helen. Let's tryjust once more.Copy !req
146. I'd love to. I'm a girl that tries and tries.Copy !req
147. Well, suppose we begin
by your not drinking anymore, huh?Copy !req
148. Suppose we begin by
you minding your own business?Copy !req
149. - I said you've had enough!
- Take your paws off me!Copy !req
150. Maybe you've learned to like hurting people.Copy !req
151. I could tell you something about Dickey
that would hurt you plenty!Copy !req
152. What about Dickey?Copy !req
153. - Noisy in here, aren't you?
- So what?Copy !req
154. What do you call that, a prayer meeting?Copy !req
155. Okay, Mr Morrison, just doing my job.Copy !req
156. - Better close up. It's gonna rain.
- Okay.Copy !req
157. Maybe you'd better pull the blinds down, too,
if you're gonna push your wife around.Copy !req
158. A call from the house detective.
Pretty, isn't it?Copy !req
159. Now what about Dickey?Copy !req
160. - Forget it, Johnny. It was nothing...
- What about Dickey?Copy !req
161. It was nothing, I tell you.Copy !req
162. - Talk, tell me, will you?
- Johnny, please.Copy !req
163. It could happen to anybody.
I'd been to a party.Copy !req
164. I had to take Dickey with me.
I had a few drinks.Copy !req
165. Oh, stop the tears!Copy !req
166. All right, hero.Copy !req
167. I was drunk. I was in a car smash.Copy !req
168. Dickey was killed.Copy !req
169. I wrote you he died of diphtheria
because I was afraid to tell you the truth.Copy !req
170. How do you like it?Copy !req
171. Johnny!Copy !req
172. That's what I ought to do.Copy !req
173. But you're not worth it.Copy !req
174. Line, please.Copy !req
175. York 2-3-3-8.Copy !req
176. Mr Harwood, please. Mrs Morrison calling.Copy !req
177. Will you ask him to call me, please?Copy !req
178. Yeah?Copy !req
179. Johnny?Copy !req
180. Oh, oh, yeah, Mrs Morrison.
George and me, we're Johnny's pals.Copy !req
181. I know. That's why I'm calling.Copy !req
182. We had a quarrel. He walked out on me.Copy !req
183. Walked out on you?Copy !req
184. Well, don't you worry about a thing.Copy !req
185. George and me, we'll bring him back
if we have to frogmarch him.Copy !req
186. Yeah, sure, he'll come over here.
Yeah, I'll call you as soon as he shows up.Copy !req
187. That's all right. Bye.Copy !req
188. George. Hey...Copy !req
189. That's right, he went out.Copy !req
190. Quiet in there. Quiet! I got a sick baby!Copy !req
191. - George.
- We eat eggs.Copy !req
192. - Johnny's wife just called up.
- Yeah?Copy !req
193. - That's swell.
- No, it ain't swell.Copy !req
194. He just walked out on her.Copy !req
195. - Did you hear from him?
- No, not yet.Copy !req
196. He will come over here, though,
won't he, George?Copy !req
197. Not if I know him, he won't.Copy !req
198. But I just told his wife we'd bring him back.
What are we gonna do?Copy !req
199. Look, Buzz, there isn't anything we can do.Copy !req
200. This is one problem
Johnny's got to handle by himself.Copy !req
201. - Yeah, but if he's not going to...
- Forget it.Copy !req
202. Whatever's the right thing to do,
Johnny'll do it.Copy !req
203. We got to do something.
We got to find Johnny.Copy !req
204. Yeah, we'll talk about it afterwards.
Let's eat first. We got real eggs.Copy !req
205. Come on, crack 'em up, will you,
while I get the rest of these things ready.Copy !req
206. Buzz.Copy !req
207. - Yes, sir?
- Is Mrs Morrison in?Copy !req
208. - Who shall I say is calling?
- Just say Buzz.Copy !req
209. - Buzz. That's my name.
- Oh. 93.Copy !req
210. I'm sorry, Mrs Morrison isn't in.Copy !req
211. - Oh.
- Would you care to leave a message?Copy !req
212. - Well, you mind if I wait around?
- Not at all. It's over there.Copy !req
213. - Huh?
- The bar.Copy !req
214. Oh, thank you.Copy !req
215. - Bourbon.
- (Bartender) In a minute.Copy !req
216. Didn't we meet at the Blue Dahlia
the other night?Copy !req
217. I may have been there.
We certainly didn't meet.Copy !req
218. I'm sure we have mutual friends...Copy !req
219. - Hey, you, that's my seat.
- Go pick yourself an orchid.Copy !req
220. - Masterful type.
- All I want is a drink, and quick.Copy !req
221. - Hey, how about that?
- Take one of mine.Copy !req
222. - Thanks.
- Mmm.Copy !req
223. - Umm. Scotch.
- So they tell me.Copy !req
224. I'll buy you a drink some rainy night.Copy !req
225. It's raining now.Copy !req
226. All right, I'll buy you a drink.Copy !req
227. And no passes.Copy !req
228. - Uh-huh.
- What's the matter, don't you believe me?Copy !req
229. Uh-huh.Copy !req
230. - Okay, so I won't buy you a drink.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
231. - That's the end of that conversation.
- Wait a minute. You can buy me a drink.Copy !req
232. Only not in this joint. I've had enough of it.
Come on.Copy !req
233. - It's really coming down now.
- We haven't far to go.Copy !req
234. Look,Copy !req
235. you don't want to go out in that.
Why don't we go back to the bar?Copy !req
236. Anyway, I came here to see somebody,
and I ought to stick around till she gets here.Copy !req
237. Well, you can phone from my place
and leave word where you are.Copy !req
238. - You live here?
- Sure. Come on.Copy !req
239. What's the matter? Scared?Copy !req
240. - You free?
- Sorry, no pickups tonight.Copy !req
241. - Good evening, Mr Harwood.
- Good evening, Melanie.Copy !req
242. - It's kind of wet out, isn't it?
- It certainly is.Copy !req
243. Hello, Eddie. You're early.Copy !req
244. - Evening, Leo. How's everything?
- Took in seven grand last week.Copy !req
245. That's fine.Copy !req
246. - Have a drink?
- No, thanks.Copy !req
247. You're alone tonight, huh?Copy !req
248. Good.Copy !req
249. I was afraid that Morrison dame
was getting to be a habit.Copy !req
250. Look, Leo, you run the Blue Dahlia,
I'll take care of my private life.Copy !req
251. We're hooked up together, Eddie.
You get in a jam, I get in a jam.Copy !req
252. You can forget Helen Morrison.Copy !req
253. Her husband's back from the South Pacific.
Let him take care of her.Copy !req
254. (Leo) Uh-huh.Copy !req
255. If you think my wife left me
because of another woman,Copy !req
256. it was something else entirely, Leo.Copy !req
257. Like how you make some of your dough?Copy !req
258. Like your putting in with people like me?Copy !req
259. It's quite possible.Copy !req
260. She was in the bar a little while ago.
She just left.Copy !req
261. Gave me a message for you.
She's going out of town for a few days.Copy !req
262. Save some money on flowers.Copy !req
263. She could have told me that herself.Copy !req
264. Maybe she figured it would sound worse
coming from me.Copy !req
265. - Any cheques for me to sign?
- Yeah, there's a few.Copy !req
266. You, uh...Copy !req
267. You ever know a guy named Quinlan?Copy !req
268. - Never heard of him.
- Did a stretch somewhere back east.Copy !req
269. Not interested, huh? Okay.Copy !req
270. - Don't get cute with me, Leo.
- Nothing cute about it.Copy !req
271. I heard this Quinlan spoke to you
in the parking lot the other night.Copy !req
272. When you were with Mrs Morrison.
Called you by some other name.Copy !req
273. - Did he?
- Not if you say he didn't.Copy !req
274. But it doesn't matter now, anyway.Copy !req
275. Quinlan was bumped off
a few nights ago over on East 5th.Copy !req
276. What makes you think I'd be interested?Copy !req
277. Just don't get too complicated, Eddie.Copy !req
278. When a man gets too complicated,
he's unhappy.Copy !req
279. And when he's unhappy, his luck runs out.Copy !req
280. Yeah?Copy !req
281. Just a minute. She's calling you.
The Morrison dame.Copy !req
282. Hello, baby. I was just gonna call you.Copy !req
283. Well, it's about time.
I've been calling you all evening.Copy !req
284. Hold on a minute.Copy !req
285. Hello?Copy !req
286. No, of course he's not here.
No, he hasn't just stepped out.Copy !req
287. He's gone. G-O-N-E. Gone.Copy !req
288. He'll be back all right, baby. It's all my fault.Copy !req
289. I think he's a nice guy.Copy !req
290. He was so far away, and I'd never seen him.Copy !req
291. I guess I didn't realise how it looked.Copy !req
292. Now wait a minute. I'm not hinting.
I'm saying it straight out.Copy !req
293. I think we better call it a day.Copy !req
294. Supposing I don't want to call it a day?
Two walkouts in one eveningCopy !req
295. would be just a little too much for me, Eddie.
Ever think of that?Copy !req
296. And if I don't want to call it a day, I'm
quite sure you won't for a very good reason.Copy !req
297. I'd better come over and talk to you, huh?Copy !req
298. Say half an hour? Right.Copy !req
299. I told you she was poison.
They're all poison sooner or later.Copy !req
300. (Leo) Almost all, anyway.Copy !req
301. Get in.Copy !req
302. Well, you could get wetter
if you lay down in the gutter.Copy !req
303. I wasn't trying to get wet.Copy !req
304. You ought to have more sense
than to take chances with strangers like this.Copy !req
305. It's funny, but practically all the people
I know were strangers when I met them.Copy !req
306. I'm going to Malibu. Is that any use to you?Copy !req
307. - What's in Malibu?
- Houses. People.Copy !req
308. - I have some friends there.
- Any hotels?Copy !req
309. Motel, maybe.Copy !req
310. Pick up many people like this at night?Copy !req
311. Not many. Only one or two at a time.Copy !req
312. You're right.Copy !req
313. - Right?
- That wasn't funny.Copy !req
314. I'm sorry,
but nothing's very funny to me tonight.Copy !req
315. It all blows up in your face sometimes,
doesn't it?Copy !req
316. What does?Copy !req
317. Whatever you're doing.
Wherever you're going.Copy !req
318. - I thought you were going to Malibu?
- I flipped a coin.Copy !req
319. Heads, I go to Malibu. Tails, I go to Laguna.Copy !req
320. What happens if the coin
rolls under the davenport?Copy !req
321. We go to Long Beach.Copy !req
322. Oh, you can smile.
I was beginning to wonder.Copy !req
323. - Sure you won't have one?
- No, thanks.Copy !req
324. - My bag in your way?
- No.Copy !req
325. I was just wondering what the JM stood for.Copy !req
326. - You don't have to wonder. I'll tell you.
- Well, that's no fun.Copy !req
327. Let me see. How about Jack Mason?Copy !req
328. That's fine for somebody named Jack Mason.Copy !req
329. Well, then, how about Jeremiah McGonigle?Copy !req
330. Nobody was ever named
Jeremiah McGonigle.Copy !req
331. Why?
I think I like Jeremiah McGonigle.Copy !req
332. Dull. No sense of humour.Copy !req
333. Well, that's two strikes on me.Copy !req
334. - How about Jimmy Moore?
- Jimmy Moore?Copy !req
335. - Is that really your name?
- Don't you like it?Copy !req
336. I once knew a boy by the name of Jimmy.
He had rabbit teeth.Copy !req
337. I guess I'll learn to forget him, though.
I was only eight years old then.Copy !req
338. Are you sure that coin you flipped
came up heads?Copy !req
339. Yes. Why?Copy !req
340. - That was Malibu we just passed.
- Was it?Copy !req
341. (George) Where have you been?Copy !req
342. - Out.
- Out where?Copy !req
343. - Guess I got lost.
- You guess? Don't you know?Copy !req
344. Yeah, I got lost.Copy !req
345. - Where's Johnny?
- Johnny hasn't been here.Copy !req
346. Johnny?Copy !req
347. Buzz, are you all right?Copy !req
348. Certainly I'm all right.
Why wouldn't I be all right?Copy !req
349. What's the idea of running out
without telling me?Copy !req
350. You've been gone a couple of hours.Copy !req
351. Well, for Pete's sake,
you might at least say something.Copy !req
352. I'm sleepy, George.Copy !req
353. I'd better telephone my friends
or they'll think something's happened.Copy !req
354. I won't be long.Copy !req
355. Jimmy!Copy !req
356. What's the idea?Copy !req
357. - It's the end of the line.
- Is it?Copy !req
358. It has to be. It's a long way back to Malibu.Copy !req
359. - What about you?
- I'll make out.Copy !req
360. And if I knew how,
this is where I'd say thanks for everything.Copy !req
361. I didn't do it for thanks.Copy !req
362. I know that.Copy !req
363. Well, don't you even say good night?Copy !req
364. It's good-bye.
And it's tough to say good-bye.Copy !req
365. Why is it?
You've never seen me before tonight.Copy !req
366. Every guy's seen you before, somewhere.
The trick is to find you.Copy !req
367. (Man on radio) And now, folks,
bright and early on this beautiful sunny day,Copy !req
368. flowers are fresh from the rain,
and there isn't a cloud in the sky.Copy !req
369. Bringing you once again
your favourite breakfast programme,Copy !req
370. Melodies of the Morning.Copy !req
371. Well, well, well, unk-dray again.Copy !req
372. Couldn't make it to bed, huh?Copy !req
373. Honey, I don't know where you put it.Copy !req
374. Come on, now, let's...Copy !req
375. Oh, brother.Copy !req
376. Yeah?Copy !req
377. What's that?Copy !req
378. I'll be right over. And call Mr Hughes.Copy !req
379. Over there.Copy !req
380. Out. Keep your mouth shut.Copy !req
381. Ever know me not to?Copy !req
382. - Looks like there was a brawl here.
- Yeah.Copy !req
383. - Been dead for hours.
- Suicide?Copy !req
384. - Could be.
- Better be.Copy !req
385. Uh-uh. Too much gun.Copy !req
386. Now, don't start playing detective, Dad.Copy !req
387. We'll have enough of that
from the professionals.Copy !req
388. - What's the number down there?
- Don't you think we ought toCopy !req
389. - look around a bit before we call the police?
- Don't be a fool.Copy !req
390. The sooner we get started,
the sooner we'll get her out of here.Copy !req
391. - What's the number?
- Michigan 5-2-1-1.Copy !req
392. - Good morning.
- Good morning.Copy !req
393. (Man on radio) We will now continue
with our morning music.Copy !req
394. Helena!Copy !req
395. I'll take a number three with orange juice.Copy !req
396. Remember me?Copy !req
397. - What happened to Malibu?
- I guess it's where we left it.Copy !req
398. - I stayed here at the inn.
- Why?Copy !req
399. - Do I have to have a reason?
- No.Copy !req
400. - It's nice after the rain, isn't it?
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
401. I didn't expect to see you again.Copy !req
402. Jimmy, why don't you go back and fix it up
before it's too late?Copy !req
403. Maybe you'd like it better
if I'd mind my own business.Copy !req
404. You think you could?Copy !req
405. - I could try.
- It's my wife.Copy !req
406. - Had an idea it might be.
- And there's nothing to fix up.Copy !req
407. And if there was,
I wouldn't want to fix it up anyway.Copy !req
408. What about you?Copy !req
409. You weren't going to Malibu last night.
You were trying to run out on yourself.Copy !req
410. Like me.Copy !req
411. Maybe you're right.Copy !req
412. Well, where do we go from here?Copy !req
413. We don't go anywhere.
We said good-bye last night.Copy !req
414. You catch the bus for up north,
and I go back to Malibu.Copy !req
415. That's right.Copy !req
416. Could we take a walk along the beach first?Copy !req
417. And look for moonstones? The tide's out.Copy !req
418. We can even go wading, if you like.Copy !req
419. If I run upstairs and change my shoes,
will you be here when I get back?Copy !req
420. - Uh-huh.
- Not like last night?Copy !req
421. No.Copy !req
422. (Man on radio) The discovery occurred
early this morning when neighbours...Copy !req
423. - Cheque, please.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
424. complained about
the loud playing of the radio.Copy !req
425. The cause of her death has so far
not been definitely established.Copy !req
426. - Los Angeles, all aboard.
- Sought for questioning is her husband,Copy !req
427. Lieutenant Commander John Morrison,
recently returned from the South Pacific.Copy !req
428. Lieutenant Commander Morrison
is described as about 28 years old,Copy !req
429. weight 160 pounds,
light brown hair, light brown or blue eyes.Copy !req
430. When last seen he was wearing
civilian clothes with a navy raincoat,Copy !req
431. and was carrying a civilian suitcase.Copy !req
432. Her lifeless body was found
sprawled on a davenportCopy !req
433. in her exclusive Wilshire Boulevard
hotel bungalow.Copy !req
434. (Man) Passengers for bus 382 leaving
for Los Angeles. All aboard.Copy !req
435. The discovery occurred early this morning
when neighbours complainedCopy !req
436. about the loud playing of the radio.Copy !req
437. The cause of her death has so far
not been definitely established.Copy !req
438. - That's mine.
- Oh, no it ain't. Wait a minute, now.Copy !req
439. - Okay, okay. Let's measure.
- All right.Copy !req
440. - Anything for us?
- Nope.Copy !req
441. Get yourjunk off this bench.Copy !req
442. You fellows wait here.Copy !req
443. - How do you like being pinched, George?
- We're not pinched. Relax.Copy !req
444. What's the difference?
They brought us here and we're here.Copy !req
445. - What's your name, copper?
- Save it.Copy !req
446. Maybe they don't have names.
Maybe they just have numbers.Copy !req
447. Calm down, can't you?Copy !req
448. How long do we have to wait here, copper?Copy !req
449. Until the captain gets ready for you.
And don't call me copper!Copy !req
450. Get that, George?
He says don't call him copper.Copy !req
451. Pipe down.Copy !req
452. Is it all right if we smoke too, copper?Copy !req
453. - You want to make trouble?
- Yeah, you want some?Copy !req
454. - Here.
- Hmm.Copy !req
455. George?Copy !req
456. Thanks, copper.Copy !req
457. Where's Captain Hendrickson's office,
please?Copy !req
458. - Right there.
- Get this guy.Copy !req
459. - Who is he?
- Eddie Harwood. Owns the Blue Dahlia.Copy !req
460. - Hold it, Mr Harwood.
- Nothing doing, fellows. Skip it.Copy !req
461. Captain Hendrickson, please.
I'm Eddie Harwood.Copy !req
462. - Just have a seat.
- Hello, Mr Harwood.Copy !req
463. Hello, Dad.Copy !req
464. - Okay.
- And Harwood's here, too.Copy !req
465. Good.Copy !req
466. Push the buzzer, will you, Cap?Copy !req
467. Captain Hendrickson's office,
homicide bureau.Copy !req
468. Detective Lieutenant Lloyd speaking.
Call back, please.Copy !req
469. Shoot.Copy !req
470. Captain Hendrickson's office,
homicide bureau.Copy !req
471. Detective Lieutenant Lloyd speaking.
Call back, please.Copy !req
472. Okay, stand by.Copy !req
473. Who do you want first, Cap?Copy !req
474. Oh, let's take Harwood,
pity to keep him waiting.Copy !req
475. Right.Copy !req
476. Come in, Mr Harwood.Copy !req
477. I won't take up much of your time,
Mr Harwood.Copy !req
478. But I always like to meet the people
involved in an investigation.Copy !req
479. - Involved how?
- Sit down.Copy !req
480. You knew Mrs Morrison well, didn't you?Copy !req
481. Fairly well.Copy !req
482. How long have you known her?Copy !req
483. - You've got all that.
- So I have.Copy !req
484. Slightly less than a year.
Met her through mutual friends.Copy !req
485. Correct.Copy !req
486. She owned a business in Beverly Hills.
You have any interest in that?Copy !req
487. I loaned her some money when she first
bought it. The money's been repaid.Copy !req
488. I see. Purely a business transaction.Copy !req
489. I'd regard a secured loan at 6%
as a business transaction.Copy !req
490. I suppose you think I'm wasting your time?Copy !req
491. You're married, aren't you, Mr Harwood?Copy !req
492. My wife and I are separated.
You want to know why?Copy !req
493. Not unless it has a bearing
on your relations with Mrs Morrison.Copy !req
494. It hasn't.Copy !req
495. - Where is Mrs Harwood at the moment?
- No idea.Copy !req
496. Any idea where she was last night?Copy !req
497. No.Copy !req
498. Look here, Hendrickson, if you think
my wife had anything to doCopy !req
499. with Helen Morrison's murder...Copy !req
500. So you're taking it for granted
that Mrs Morrison was murdered, are you?Copy !req
501. - Well, wasn't she?
- We haven't called it murder so far.Copy !req
502. Yes, but the newspapers...Copy !req
503. Well, then I just assumed it.Copy !req
504. Sure, but you're quite right.
She was murdered.Copy !req
505. We have the autopsy report now
and nitrate tests of her hands.Copy !req
506. Well, thanks for coming in, Mr Harwood.
I guess that's all for now.Copy !req
507. Am I under suspicion?Copy !req
508. I don't know. How do you feel about it?Copy !req
509. Hello, George?Copy !req
510. Isn't George there?Copy !req
511. George Copeland.Copy !req
512. No, George isn't here right now.
Who's this calling? Who's calling, I said!Copy !req
513. There's just one thing
I'd like you gentlemen to bear in mind.Copy !req
514. Even if you are close friends of Morrison's,Copy !req
515. you can't help him to hide out, so don't try.Copy !req
516. I'm an attorney, Captain.
I understand perfectly.Copy !req
517. I'm glad to hear it.Copy !req
518. If he gets in touch with you,
make him come in.Copy !req
519. - It's the only sensible thing for him to do.
- Baloney!Copy !req
520. If you think we're gonna help you
tie a murder to a guyCopy !req
521. who's flown us through 112 missions,
you're off your nut!Copy !req
522. We haven't accused Morrison
of murder so far.Copy !req
523. No, what's holding you up?Copy !req
524. Have these men driven back
to their apartment. Bring in that Newell.Copy !req
525. Any chance for a room here?Copy !req
526. I'm sorry, sir, we haven't had a vacancy
in eight weeks.Copy !req
527. Do you know where I can find one?Copy !req
528. That's a pretty difficult thing to say
these days.Copy !req
529. - I'm afraid I can't help you.
- All right, thanks.Copy !req
530. (Man) You! Just a minute!Copy !req
531. Got a match?Copy !req
532. Okay. Use one of my own.Copy !req
533. - Suitcase gets kind of heavy, don't it?
- Yeah, what's it to you?Copy !req
534. Every hotel in town's loaded.
Thought I might be a little help.Copy !req
535. Little place
down on Santa Monica boulevard.Copy !req
536. - What's the racket?
- If you think it's a racket, call a cop.Copy !req
537. - How far away is this place?
- About six blocks.Copy !req
538. Transportation and everything. Okay?Copy !req
539. Okay.Copy !req
540. You saw Harwood go up to this dame's
apartment and knock on the door.Copy !req
541. No answer. He went away. Went away where?Copy !req
542. Well, you see Captain, there's a side gate
to the hotel grounds...Copy !req
543. We've seen the joint.Copy !req
544. Well, that's where he went out.
What time was this?Copy !req
545. - I've told you gentlemen...
- Tell us again.Copy !req
546. It was about 7:00. It was raining.Copy !req
547. - You like standing in the rain?
- I got to make my rounds.Copy !req
548. See if everything's okay.
Nobody cutting up too much.Copy !req
549. You got a passkey to the bungalows?Copy !req
550. - Surely you don't think I had...
- Why not?Copy !req
551. Plenty of genial old parties like you
commit murders.Copy !req
552. That isn't a very nice thing to say, Captain.
Mrs Morrison's lights were on.Copy !req
553. The radio was going.
Why would I want to get in?Copy !req
554. You tell us?
She didn't answer when Harwood knocked.Copy !req
555. - Didn't that interest you?
- Would that be any of my business?Copy !req
556. You boys got a nice technique.
Had me worried for a minute.Copy !req
557. No hard feelings, of course.Copy !req
558. That's all, Newell, for now.Copy !req
559. - This is a terrible thing for the hotel.
- Kind of tough on the Morrison dame, too.Copy !req
560. Go on, beat it!Copy !req
561. (Johnny) You call this dump a hotel?
(Man) That's what the sign said.Copy !req
562. Clean sheets every day, they tell me.Copy !req
563. - How often do they change the fleas?
- Hmm, very funny.Copy !req
564. Customer, Corelli.Copy !req
565. That'll be 10 bucks.Copy !req
566. In advance, Mr Moore.Copy !req
567. - That'll be 10 for us, too.
- What?Copy !req
568. Our commission. Get it?Copy !req
569. - Give me back that money.
- You ain't going to get difficult, are you, pal?Copy !req
570. Okay, boys, you win.Copy !req
571. - Hot, ain't it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
572. Hi, Corelli.Copy !req
573. Anybody up here belong
to that Plymouth down front?Copy !req
574. Why?Copy !req
575. Some crazy woman driver
just tore a fender off it.Copy !req
576. - I didn't hear nothing.
- No?Copy !req
577. - (Man 1 ) What's a fender?
- (Man 2) Forget it.Copy !req
578. - Your car?
- Could be.Copy !req
579. Come on down, then.
We got to make a report.Copy !req
580. Let's skip it, huh?Copy !req
581. You heard what I said, didn't you?
Come on down. That's a hot car!Copy !req
582. Come on, get back here.
Come on get up, you.Copy !req
583. Come on, quick. Turn around.Copy !req
584. That's it. You want to play rough, huh?Copy !req
585. You boys make it easy for us.Copy !req
586. All right, get going.Copy !req
587. Who are you?Copy !req
588. - Jimmy Moore, San Francisco.
- That right, Corelli?Copy !req
589. - Yeah, he just registered.
- Okay.Copy !req
590. Get moving.Copy !req
591. Thanks, pal.Copy !req
592. - You still want that room?
- If you're sure nobody's dead in it.Copy !req
593. Right back this way.Copy !req
594. You live in San Francisco, Mr Moore?Copy !req
595. - Yeah, when I'm there.
- Nice town.Copy !req
596. I like it here better.Copy !req
597. Anything you need, just ask for it.Copy !req
598. - Where's your phone?
- Back down the hall.Copy !req
599. (Woman over phone) Grenada Towers.
(Johnny) Mr Harwood, please.Copy !req
600. Good evening, Mr Harwood.Copy !req
601. Who let you in?Copy !req
602. Housemen don't have much trouble
getting into places.Copy !req
603. I come up the fire stairs.Copy !req
604. Thought it was a good idea not to be seen.Copy !req
605. - Drink?
- I don't mind if I do.Copy !req
606. Easy on the water.Copy !req
607. (Newell) I told the homicide boys
a good straight story.Copy !req
608. They're satisfied. For today, anyway.Copy !req
609. But you know how these dicks are.Copy !req
610. Tomorrow they might get to figuring
I was holding something back.Copy !req
611. Nice.Copy !req
612. And were you holding something back?Copy !req
613. Well, I hung around a while.Copy !req
614. After you knocked on Mrs Morrison's door,
I mean.Copy !req
615. - Pretty wet, wasn't it?
- Weather don't bother me.Copy !req
616. Used to be a copper myself.
Fifteen years of it.Copy !req
617. Sit down.Copy !req
618. - How much do they pay you over there?
- Twenty-eight a week and found.Copy !req
619. - Not very much, is it?
- No, it's not, for a fact. Well, thanks.Copy !req
620. So you thought you'd like to make
a little more. That's why you're here, huh?Copy !req
621. Oh, you got me all wrong, Mr Harwood.
I just thought...Copy !req
622. Yeah, I know, I know.Copy !req
623. - How old are you, Dad?
- Going on 57.Copy !req
624. Well, you've got a lot of life left in you,
unless you get careless.Copy !req
625. I don't aim to get careless.Copy !req
626. The cops don't pay you any money, and I do.Copy !req
627. Here.Copy !req
628. Gee, this sure is white of you, Mr Harwood.Copy !req
629. Yes, isn't it? Finished your drink?Copy !req
630. No, I...Copy !req
631. Well, I guess I better be
going now, Mr Harwood.Copy !req
632. Wait a minute.Copy !req
633. - You forgot your cigar.
- Oh, I...Copy !req
634. I think it's out.Copy !req
635. Cigars go out awful easy, don't they, Dad?Copy !req
636. Good night.Copy !req
637. Hello, Eddie.Copy !req
638. Hello, baby. Long time no see.Copy !req
639. Not so long, is it?Copy !req
640. You even send these blue flowers
to yourself, don't you?Copy !req
641. - I thought you went out of town.
- I came back.Copy !req
642. You still have this around.
Sentimentalist, aren't you?Copy !req
643. I only wish I had you with it.Copy !req
644. Sure, I know I've got lots of faults,Copy !req
645. but being in love with you
isn't one of them, is it?Copy !req
646. Look, baby...Copy !req
647. It's too late, Eddie.Copy !req
648. Why? Why is it too late?Copy !req
649. Just is.Copy !req
650. Helen Morrison didn't mean
anything to me alive.Copy !req
651. No?Copy !req
652. And she doesn't mean anything to me dead.Copy !req
653. She means something to the police, though.Copy !req
654. The police have the whole story.
My part of it, in any case.Copy !req
655. - How do they like it?
- As well as they ever like anything.Copy !req
656. Well, I guess everything's lovely, then.Copy !req
657. Who did kill her, Eddie?Copy !req
658. Don't you read the papers?Copy !req
659. I don't have to believe
everything I see in them.Copy !req
660. Well, if Morrison didn't kill her,
he certainly set himself up pretty.Copy !req
661. - The gun even had his initials on it.
- Careless of him.Copy !req
662. I met him. He's the kind of guy
who wouldn't care much what he did.Copy !req
663. - When he walked in on that party...
- He didn't like it.Copy !req
664. How would you know?Copy !req
665. I know the kind of party it would be.Copy !req
666. Well, so long as I know
you're all right, Eddie?Copy !req
667. So I do mean that much to you?Copy !req
668. I guess so.Copy !req
669. Take me to the mezzanine, please.Copy !req
670. Yes, sir.Copy !req
671. - Is Mr Harwood in?
- I'll see.Copy !req
672. - What name, please?
- Moore.Copy !req
673. Mr Harwood?Copy !req
674. Give me the desk, please.Copy !req
675. Mr Harwood's line is busy at the moment.Copy !req
676. - What's his apartment number?
- I'm sorry. You'll have to be announced.Copy !req
677. I'll try again in a moment.Copy !req
678. Desk.Copy !req
679. Who? Just a minute.Copy !req
680. For you, sir.Copy !req
681. Me?Copy !req
682. Hello.Copy !req
683. Please don't ask any questions.
Get out of the hotel right away.Copy !req
684. Yeah, but why does it take so long?Copy !req
685. Because when a man's in the service,
they file his photo in Washington.Copy !req
686. They have to get it from there.Copy !req
687. What I'm wondering is, who glommed
the photo the maid said was in the bedroom?Copy !req
688. - If my name was Morrison, it would be me.
- Yeah.Copy !req
689. The description we got
could fit a thousand guys.Copy !req
690. Mr Harwood, please.
Captain Hendrickson calling.Copy !req
691. Yes, sir.Copy !req
692. Mr Harwood.Copy !req
693. Anybody following us?Copy !req
694. I don't think so.Copy !req
695. That's too bad.Copy !req
696. Do you want to get caught?Copy !req
697. When did you find out
that somebody was trying to catch me?Copy !req
698. This morning when I saw you
get rid of your coat.Copy !req
699. Are you angry at me
for trying to help you, Jimmy?Copy !req
700. Maybe you'd better call me by my right name.Copy !req
701. None of this would make any sense
if you didn't know it.Copy !req
702. All right, Johnny.Copy !req
703. Johnny's quite a nice name, too.Copy !req
704. But Jimmy didn't have the police after him.Copy !req
705. It takes a lot of lights to make a city,
doesn't it?Copy !req
706. I know you didn't kill your wife, Johnny.Copy !req
707. - You do? How?
- Just from knowing you.Copy !req
708. - You don't know me that well.
- Well enough.Copy !req
709. You think you have to find out
who did kill her, though, don't you?Copy !req
710. Something like that.Copy !req
711. I suppose you wonder why
I don't let the police do that job.Copy !req
712. Have I acted as if I thought that?Copy !req
713. They're looking for me.Copy !req
714. And if they catch me,
they're not gonna worryCopy !req
715. about trying to pin it on somebody else.Copy !req
716. - I've thought of that, too.
- That isn't all.Copy !req
717. Even if we weren't happy, Helen was my wife.Copy !req
718. And the man who killed her isn't gonna
get away with it. He just thinks he is.Copy !req
719. - You're talking about Eddie Harwood?
- I didn't mention any names.Copy !req
720. Who else could it be?Copy !req
721. I wouldn't know. Would you?Copy !req
722. - It seems you know more about it than I do.
- Do I?Copy !req
723. Things like picking me out of the air
at a hotel desk.Copy !req
724. You get around, don't you?
And your timing's good.Copy !req
725. It was good last night
when you picked me up in the rain.Copy !req
726. Or was it?Copy !req
727. I don't know.Copy !req
728. I don't know anything.Copy !req
729. I don't even know your name.Copy !req
730. Johnny, you'll have to trust me.
I have something to settle, too.Copy !req
731. - You'll have to trust me a lot.
- Why?Copy !req
732. I haven't got time to play games.Copy !req
733. Suppose you keep your secrets,
and I'll keep mine, huh?Copy !req
734. Okay, Johnny,
if that's the way you feel about it.Copy !req
735. Coming?Copy !req
736. (Buzz) Turn that radio down.
Turn it down, I tell you!Copy !req
737. Hey, calm down, can't you?
Other people have to live.Copy !req
738. This headache I got don't calm down.Copy !req
739. - Why don't Johnny call up or something?
- Maybe he forgot the number.Copy !req
740. Maybe he doesn't want to take the chance.
Maybe he's not even in L.A.Copy !req
741. That's three maybes.
You're not stuck, are you?Copy !req
742. You know, I used to think of Johnny
on the dodge like a cheap criminal.Copy !req
743. He ought to go straight to Hendrickson
and tell him his story.Copy !req
744. Sure, tell it to the cops. Maybe you like cops.Copy !req
745. Well, I don't. I hate their guts.Copy !req
746. And you better hope
you never tell it to the cops, either.Copy !req
747. What you need's a drink.Copy !req
748. Let me see. I seem to have
misplaced your name at the moment.Copy !req
749. Where were you keeping it?Copy !req
750. But you're a friend of John Morrison's,
aren't you?Copy !req
751. Never heard of him.Copy !req
752. Come on in.Copy !req
753. Who are you?Copy !req
754. I work over at the Cavendish Court.
Newell's the name. They call me Dad.Copy !req
755. - You work at what?
- Well...Copy !req
756. You're the house peeper, ain't you?Copy !req
757. Yeah, some folks call me that.Copy !req
758. I don't suppose you gentlemen know
where Mr Morrison is, do you?Copy !req
759. Would we be likely to tell you?Copy !req
760. No, I suppose not.Copy !req
761. Would information about his movements
be worth anything to you?Copy !req
762. Depends on what the information is.Copy !req
763. Well, information ain't always so easy to get.Copy !req
764. - Quit stalling. Where did you see Johnny?
- I haven't said I did see him so far.Copy !req
765. - This guy's looking for a piece of change.
- You just think of that?Copy !req
766. Well, as a matter of fact,
it was a long walk over here.Copy !req
767. Why don't you call a couple of those cops
you're so fond of?Copy !req
768. He's been cheating on their terms.Copy !req
769. Oh, now wait a minute, gentlemen.
You've got me all wrong.Copy !req
770. Would that be possible?Copy !req
771. I happened to be going by
Mr Harwood's hotel this evening...Copy !req
772. - Oh, you put the bite on Harwood, too, huh?
- I resent that.Copy !req
773. I saw Morrison go into the hotel
and cross over to the desk.Copy !req
774. - Then what?
- I didn't have time to wait for any more.Copy !req
775. He was standing at the desk when I left.
I had to get to work.Copy !req
776. - The guy really likes his work.
- And how.Copy !req
777. - Where does Harwood live?
- Grenada Towers on Wilshire.Copy !req
778. - You know everything, don't you?
- Oh, I get around.Copy !req
779. - That all you've got to tell us?
- So far it is.Copy !req
780. Well, thanks.Copy !req
781. Nights, Mr Harwood usually goes to his club,
the Blue Dahlia,Copy !req
782. if that's of any interest to you.Copy !req
783. Haven't I seen you before?Copy !req
784. - Before what?
- Seems to me last night in the rain.Copy !req
785. Or, of course, I could be mistaken.Copy !req
786. Good night.Copy !req
787. Mr Harwood, please. Mrs Harwood calling.Copy !req
788. Eddie?Copy !req
789. Yes, it's me.Copy !req
790. I've changed my mind about something.
Do you want to take me out tonight?Copy !req
791. (Johnny) Find what you wanted?Copy !req
792. You look good in a uniform.
Nice kid, too. Yours?Copy !req
793. Why didn't you tell me you was hot?
I've taken care of lots of hot boys.Copy !req
794. All it takes is a little of that.Copy !req
795. What makes you think I'm hot?Copy !req
796. You ain't talking
to one of them cheap heist guys,Copy !req
797. like them mugs that brought you here.Copy !req
798. I've been in this business a long time.Copy !req
799. Jimmy Moore, huh?Copy !req
800. Seems like I read somewhere,
could have been the paper,Copy !req
801. about a guy named Johnny Morrison,Copy !req
802. the cops wanted to talk to
on account his wife got croaked.Copy !req
803. No comment, huh?Copy !req
804. Suit yourself.Copy !req
805. Maybe I better keep this
while you think things out.Copy !req
806. Yes?Copy !req
807. Corelli? Who's he?Copy !req
808. Never mind. Put him on.Copy !req
809. You Leo?Copy !req
810. I run a joint over in Santa Monica.Copy !req
811. A guy come in here tonight
and registered as Jimmy Moore.Copy !req
812. Get the initials? JM.Copy !req
813. He's a navy flier. That mean anything to you?Copy !req
814. Is he there now? Oh, moved out on you?Copy !req
815. You don't seem to have much to sell,
do you, Corelli?Copy !req
816. (Chuckling) Huh? Sure, sure.Copy !req
817. Yeah, I'll take care of you. So long, Corelli.Copy !req
818. You're certainly a hard man to catch up with.Copy !req
819. Am I?Copy !req
820. Nice to know you, Mr Moore.Copy !req
821. - That is your name, isn't it?
- You know my name and why I'm here.Copy !req
822. I don't, but you can tell me
while I finish dressing.Copy !req
823. If I were in your shoes, I'd be 500 miles away.Copy !req
824. Half the cops in L.A. are looking for you.Copy !req
825. Only half?Copy !req
826. All I have to do is pick up that telephone,
you go out of here in handcuffs.Copy !req
827. Why don't you?Copy !req
828. I don't happen to be that kind of rat.Copy !req
829. What kind of a rat are you?Copy !req
830. I'm not a police informer, anyway.Copy !req
831. Neither am I.Copy !req
832. So far.Copy !req
833. Whatever that means.Copy !req
834. You rate yourself a pretty tough boy,
don't you?Copy !req
835. Tough enough to find out
who killed my wife.Copy !req
836. Well, everybody seems to think
you killed her.Copy !req
837. Not quite everybody.Copy !req
838. I think you killed her.Copy !req
839. Don't be a dope.Copy !req
840. Just because I took Helen out
a couple of times,Copy !req
841. and you put on that injured husband act.Copy !req
842. What's a dope in your book?Copy !req
843. A guy without sense enough
to get out while he can.Copy !req
844. And hole up in some quiet place
where people don't know you.Copy !req
845. - Nobody knows me here.
- They soon will.Copy !req
846. Easy for you to call.Copy !req
847. Me? I'd have to call long distance.Copy !req
848. - I still don't get it.
- No?Copy !req
849. How long has it been
since you were in New Jersey?Copy !req
850. I don't get that, either.Copy !req
851. Just why New Jersey?Copy !req
852. Are you gonna answer the door,
or let them break it down?Copy !req
853. - Hello, baby. Get you a drink?
- Oh, not now, thanks. I'll wait.Copy !req
854. I'll just be a minute.Copy !req
855. What made you change your mind?Copy !req
856. - You still have trouble with your bow tie.
- Oh, come...Copy !req
857. I'm sorry. This is Mr Moore.
Mr Moore, my wife.Copy !req
858. How do you do, Mr Moore?Copy !req
859. I'll get my coat.Copy !req
860. Oh, uh, fix yourself a drink.Copy !req
861. Well, why don't you say it?Copy !req
862. I might just as well have told you.Copy !req
863. You would have read it
in the papers tomorrow, anyway.Copy !req
864. I didn't save myself much, did I?Copy !req
865. You don't owe me an explanation.Copy !req
866. - I didn't want it this way.
- I'll bet you didn't.Copy !req
867. Johnny, don't you realise
you're in danger here?Copy !req
868. That isn't what worries me.
I came here to do something.Copy !req
869. But you fixed that, too.Copy !req
870. - Johnny!
- So long, baby.Copy !req
871. - Come on, George, will you hurry up?
- Are you boys going somewhere?Copy !req
872. Well, for crying out loud.
Come in here. Hey, George!Copy !req
873. Johnny!Copy !req
874. - Gee, am I glad to see you.
- What a heel you turned out to be.Copy !req
875. Where you been keeping yourself?Copy !req
876. Well, I tried to call you,
but some strange voice answered the phone.Copy !req
877. That was the cops. They took us down
for questioning. Are you all right?Copy !req
878. Depends on what you mean by all right.
Hey, you got a drink?Copy !req
879. - You bet. You want it in a glass or a funnel.
- As usual.Copy !req
880. Bourbon straight with a bourbon chaser.
Coming up.Copy !req
881. Oh...Copy !req
882. (Groans) This is for me.Copy !req
883. - You guys did all right for yourselves.
- Here you are. Pour that into you.Copy !req
884. What are you gonna do, Johnny? Any ideas?Copy !req
885. It's pretty obvious. I haven't much choice.Copy !req
886. You're not going to give yourself up
to the cops?Copy !req
887. - Why not?
- Johnny's right.Copy !req
888. The longer he hides out, the tougher it'll be.
And he can't hide out forever.Copy !req
889. - Not if somebody rats on him, he can't.
- Meaning me, I suppose?Copy !req
890. Johnny, did that house peeper
see you downstairs?Copy !req
891. House peeper?Copy !req
892. The one at the Cavendish Court,
he was here just a while ago.Copy !req
893. - He saw you go into Harwood's hotel.
- I wonder what he was doing there.Copy !req
894. Maybe there was a buck in it.Copy !req
895. George, what do you think my chances are
if I give myself up?Copy !req
896. With a record like yours
and after what happened,Copy !req
897. no jury in the world would convict you.Copy !req
898. We're not gonna take that chance, Johnny.Copy !req
899. You and me are gonna scram out of here.
The cops won't be looking for two guys.Copy !req
900. Hey, wait a minute.Copy !req
901. You boys think I killed her.Copy !req
902. Well, it doesn't make any difference
what we think. Legally, you...Copy !req
903. Legally?Copy !req
904. You can skip the rest of it.Copy !req
905. - Don't be a fool...
- Come on. Get out of the way.Copy !req
906. Johnny, it don't matter to me
what you've done...Copy !req
907. Let go of me.Copy !req
908. Johnny, wait a minute.Copy !req
909. Well, I hope you're satisfied.Copy !req
910. Morrison.Copy !req
911. I guess you've been expecting this,
haven't you, Mr Morrison?Copy !req
912. How much dough
did you give that house peeper?Copy !req
913. - Why?
- All you bought yourself was a pinch.Copy !req
914. Take a look. They got him.Copy !req
915. Now, maybe we can do something.Copy !req
916. Hey, this isn't the way to headquarters.Copy !req
917. Let me see that badge again.Copy !req
918. This is a courtesy badge.Copy !req
919. You got courtesy, didn't you?Copy !req
920. - Can you handle him alone?
- Yeah.Copy !req
921. Hope I didn't hit him too hard.
We might need him for bait.Copy !req
922. Hold it.Copy !req
923. Give it to him.Copy !req
924. Wise guy, huh?Copy !req
925. Mr Harwood,
there are two men asking to see you.Copy !req
926. - Any idea what they want?
- I'm sorry, they wouldn't tell me.Copy !req
927. Suppose they'll tell me?Copy !req
928. These night club monkeys do all right
for themselves, don't they, George?Copy !req
929. Looks like there's a living in it.Copy !req
930. - You wish to see me?
- We're friends of Johnny Morrison's.Copy !req
931. - Well?
- You've heard of him, haven't you?Copy !req
932. Come into my office.Copy !req
933. - Have a seat.
- We'll stand up.Copy !req
934. What's on your mind?Copy !req
935. About half an hour ago,
Johnny was picked up outside our apartmentCopy !req
936. by a couple of plainclothesmen.Copy !req
937. Well, that's the best thing
that could've happened to him, isn't it?Copy !req
938. That's what we thought half an hour ago.Copy !req
939. Only they didn't happen to be
plainclothesmen.Copy !req
940. We checked at headquarters.Copy !req
941. And are you surprised?Copy !req
942. Maybe you ought to tell me
what you're talking about.Copy !req
943. Here's a guy you really got to
draw a picture for, George.Copy !req
944. Take it easy.Copy !req
945. Take it easy. That's all you do.
Take it easy. What does it get you?Copy !req
946. What did it get Johnny?Copy !req
947. Maybe you could answer that, funny face.Copy !req
948. Before you answer that,
get this through your head.Copy !req
949. If anything happens to Johnny,
you're looking at a couple of guysCopy !req
950. who'll spend a lot of time
taking care of whoever did it.Copy !req
951. - I'll remember that, if it seems important.
- We'll take care of that, too.Copy !req
952. Hello?Copy !req
953. - Captain Hendrickson? Put him on.
- These guys are full of nifties, George.Copy !req
954. Yeah. Just a minute.Copy !req
955. Yes, Captain?Copy !req
956. (Hendrickson) We've dug up
a little more information.Copy !req
957. Something we're rather anxious to talk
to you about, if you can spare the time.Copy !req
958. I'll be right down, Captain. I'm leaving now.Copy !req
959. - Okay?
- We'll wait till you get back.Copy !req
960. Make yourselves at home.Copy !req
961. - Look at that thing.
- Yeah, that's really something, ain't it?Copy !req
962. - You think you busted it?
- Could be.Copy !req
963. - The table hit it plenty hard enough.
- Here, you can put it in here.Copy !req
964. - I put some salt in. It might help.
- Ouch, that's hot!Copy !req
965. That does feel good.Copy !req
966. Better tie him up, just in case.Copy !req
967. - Give me another drink, will you?
- Yeah.Copy !req
968. How much dough was in the billfold?Copy !req
969. - What billfold?
- Pretty good fountain pen, too, huh?Copy !req
970. - Huh?
- What else did you get?Copy !req
971. - Nothing.
- Come on, hand it over.Copy !req
972. Okay.Copy !req
973. There's ethics in this business
the same as any other.Copy !req
974. Excuse me.
I thought my husband was in here.Copy !req
975. Hmm, give a look. Harwood's babe.
I bet she cost plenty, huh, George?Copy !req
976. How much would it cost to get you
to button your lip just once?Copy !req
977. I'm sorry. Mr Harwood went out.Copy !req
978. You're George and Buzz, aren't you?Copy !req
979. - Female detective.
- Johnny told me about you.Copy !req
980. - Why would he tell you anything?
- It just so happens I'm a friend of his, too.Copy !req
981. Since when? We only hit town yesterday.Copy !req
982. How long does it take
to become a friend of Johnny Morrison's?Copy !req
983. Oh, excuse me. Captain Hendrickson's
on the phone asking for Mr Harwood.Copy !req
984. What shall I tell him?Copy !req
985. Tell him to soak his head.
Get out of here and close that door.Copy !req
986. If I got to listen to any more
of that monkey music, I'll...Copy !req
987. Mr Harwood's on his way
to the Captain's office.Copy !req
988. - Just tell him he's left, Paul.
- Yes, madam.Copy !req
989. It's a shell fragment right above the ear.Copy !req
990. It kept playing over and over and over again.Copy !req
991. Like it was the only record they had.
It was in one of those ritzy bungalows.Copy !req
992. Buzz, what are you talking about?Copy !req
993. I don't know.Copy !req
994. What are you doing that for?Copy !req
995. - Doing what?
- Picking at that flower.Copy !req
996. I don't like it.Copy !req
997. Say, that's funny.Copy !req
998. That's the same monkey music
they kept playing in the apartment next door.Copy !req
999. All day long, beating in my head.Copy !req
1000. You've got to pull yourself together, fellow.Copy !req
1001. It wasn't next door, either.
It was someplace else.Copy !req
1002. The music was right in the same room
with us, and she kept picking at that flower.Copy !req
1003. Just like you were doing.
Only she wouldn't stop.Copy !req
1004. She kept right on doing it.Copy !req
1005. Ow!Copy !req
1006. Hello, this is Mr Harwood. Is Paul there?Copy !req
1007. What?Copy !req
1008. Give me that again, slow.Copy !req
1009. Okay, tell him to relax.Copy !req
1010. I'll be right back.Copy !req
1011. Still playing the hotshot, huh?Copy !req
1012. Don't look so disappointed.
The boys did their best.Copy !req
1013. Mr Bauer.Copy !req
1014. Would you mind telling me
how you found out?Copy !req
1015. Recognise that photograph on the floor?
Well, read what's on the back of it.Copy !req
1016. That would be Helen.Copy !req
1017. She wasn't a girl to throw away
this kind of information.Copy !req
1018. Why didn't you make sure of that
before you killed her?Copy !req
1019. In a hotel bungalow? With a.45?Copy !req
1020. I could've arranged things better than that.Copy !req
1021. Like you arranged this?Copy !req
1022. This could've stood a little more polish, too.Copy !req
1023. Just a cigarette.Copy !req
1024. Maybe you're right at that.Copy !req
1025. I'm not much of a hotshot after all.Copy !req
1026. Such a nice clean start I had, too.Copy !req
1027. Helping another wild kid
shoot a bank messenger back in Passaic.Copy !req
1028. And for free. Didn't have a dime on him.Copy !req
1029. And I spent the next 15 years
trying to kid myself it never happened.Copy !req
1030. I get to own a war plant, a night club.Copy !req
1031. I even marry a girl.Copy !req
1032. A girl who oughtn't to have given me
the time of the day.Copy !req
1033. This is how I end up.Copy !req
1034. What makes it even worse is the cops
aren't interested in either of us anymore.Copy !req
1035. They've already got their killer.Copy !req
1036. When?Copy !req
1037. They caught up with him at the Blue Dahlia
a little while ago.Copy !req
1038. One of your buddies. He just confessed.Copy !req
1039. What are you trying to give me?Copy !req
1040. There's the phone.Copy !req
1041. All right, repeat that.Copy !req
1042. "Okay, so she did give me
a little doughCopy !req
1043. "once in a while to keep my mouth shut.
What's so wrong with that?"Copy !req
1044. - That's the last I got.
- Newell, come here.Copy !req
1045. Are you positive this is the man you saw
go into the bungalow with Mrs Morrison?Copy !req
1046. I told you I did, didn't I? Ain't that enough?Copy !req
1047. - It's our business to know what's enough.
- Take it easy.Copy !req
1048. Now, let's get back to this shot you heard.Copy !req
1049. Seeing you finally made your mind up
to tell us about it.Copy !req
1050. Oh, now, wait a minute,
Captain Hendrickson.Copy !req
1051. I ain't trying to hold anything back.Copy !req
1052. It might have been backfire.
It ain't always so easy to tell.Copy !req
1053. - What time was it?
- Near as I can figure, about 7:50.Copy !req
1054. And what time did you say
this man got home?Copy !req
1055. I didn't say. I didn't even say he went out.Copy !req
1056. Quit trying to cover up for me, George.
Give them what they want.Copy !req
1057. What for? To back up the evidence
of a cheap blackmailer?Copy !req
1058. - Hey, just a minute.
- Shut up and sit down.Copy !req
1059. Over there!Copy !req
1060. Come on, son.Copy !req
1061. You just about told us you killed her.
Why not give us the rest of it?Copy !req
1062. Why do you have to keep pounding at him?
What more do you want him to say?Copy !req
1063. It's got to make sense to us, too,
Mrs Harwood.Copy !req
1064. You didn't go there to kill her.
You'd never even seen her before.Copy !req
1065. What did she do that got you going?Copy !req
1066. The things she said. What she was.Copy !req
1067. What she did to Johnny.
She didn't even care.Copy !req
1068. All she did was pick at that flower.Copy !req
1069. And the gun lying right there in the chair,
asking you to use it.Copy !req
1070. My head hurts.Copy !req
1071. - I don't remember so good.
- Sure you remember.Copy !req
1072. It's Johnny's wife we're talking about.
You remember Johnny's wife, all right.Copy !req
1073. Johnny.Copy !req
1074. Johnny. George. George, where's Johnny?Copy !req
1075. Why ain't Johnny here? He'd know
I wouldn't mean to do a thing like that.Copy !req
1076. No? Why wouldn't you?Copy !req
1077. All you had to do was grab hold of the gun,Copy !req
1078. jab it against her heart
and squeeze the trigger.Copy !req
1079. That's the way it was, wasn't it?Copy !req
1080. Come on, give out!
Don't try to dummy up on us.Copy !req
1081. That's the way it was, wasn't it?Copy !req
1082. - Sounds like you said it all.
- Johnny!Copy !req
1083. Hello, Mr Morrison.
About time we got together.Copy !req
1084. Nobody's gonna get hurt with this,
except maybe me. Buzz.Copy !req
1085. Okay, Buzz, light it.Copy !req
1086. Johnny, you're crazy.Copy !req
1087. - Let him alone, give him back that gun.
- He can't do it anymore.Copy !req
1088. He can do it with his eyes shut.
On your feet, Buzz.Copy !req
1089. On your feet, I said.Copy !req
1090. Now give him back that gun.Copy !req
1091. All right, fella, light it up.Copy !req
1092. Okay, skipper.Copy !req
1093. I did it!Copy !req
1094. - I did it, didn't I, Johnny?
- Sure you did.Copy !req
1095. Jab it against her heart, huh?
Still buying that?Copy !req
1096. I have to. That's how she was killed.Copy !req
1097. - What says he killed her?
- It was his own idea.Copy !req
1098. - Who sold him the idea?
- I did.Copy !req
1099. - It would be me, wouldn't it?
- Would you mind telling me how?Copy !req
1100. He got terribly upset when I began
to pull the petals from this flower.Copy !req
1101. This is beginning to make sense.
He must have seen Helen do that, too.Copy !req
1102. It was my gun. Helen and I were quarrelling.Copy !req
1103. We were loud.Copy !req
1104. You knew that. You heard us.Copy !req
1105. Or didn't you tell them
about coming through that door?Copy !req
1106. Sure I did.
Kind of had to, didn't I, Mr Morrison?Copy !req
1107. Well, you got a fall guy standing right
in front of you. What more do you want?Copy !req
1108. I just happen to be dumb enough
to want to get the right fall guy.Copy !req
1109. When your wife was killed,
you were 50 miles north of here.Copy !req
1110. Lets you out, doesn't it?Copy !req
1111. Lets Mrs Harwood out, too.
Makes things a little tough for us, doesn't it?Copy !req
1112. Yeah, you're right out on a limb.
So all you've got left is to pick on him.Copy !req
1113. - We've still got Harwood, if we can find him.
- Well, you can count Harwood out.Copy !req
1114. That's interesting.Copy !req
1115. If you know where Leo's ranch is,
maybe you better go take a look.Copy !req
1116. Think you can arrange that?Copy !req
1117. Any further details?Copy !req
1118. Look, Captain,
I'm not trying to run your business.Copy !req
1119. You're doing fine. I'm not proud.Copy !req
1120. You were swell in there a minute ago, Buzz.Copy !req
1121. Still got that old circus shot,
ain't I, Johnny, huh?Copy !req
1122. Sure you have,
but you got to have a lot more.Copy !req
1123. Come on, tell me the part that counts.Copy !req
1124. - Counts? The part...
- Yeah, come on, come on.Copy !req
1125. That's what they keep saying. I hit that match
just like I used to, didn't I, Johnny, huh?Copy !req
1126. He can't remember, Johnny.
He just doesn't know.Copy !req
1127. Well...Copy !req
1128. What's the matter with me, Johnny?Copy !req
1129. There's nothing wrong with you, Buzz.
You just got to think.Copy !req
1130. You got to remember, that's all.
All right now, for me. For me.Copy !req
1131. What happened in the bungalow?
Come on, come on. That's right.Copy !req
1132. Yeah, it was a bungalow, Johnny.
Yeah, and she...Copy !req
1133. Come on.Copy !req
1134. She kept picking at that flower, Johnny.
Just...Copy !req
1135. Just like that one over there.Copy !req
1136. - Yeah.
- She... And it was raining, and I...Copy !req
1137. Come on, what happened, Buzz?
Come on.Copy !req
1138. My head...
The music was beating, Johnny. Beating.Copy !req
1139. Beating, beating, beating, beating, beating!
Music in my head, Johnny.Copy !req
1140. Is there a radio here?Copy !req
1141. Johnny, you don't think I did it,
do you, Johnny?Copy !req
1142. Is there a radio here?Copy !req
1143. - Just the speaker from the dance floor.
- Turn it on.Copy !req
1144. That monkey music again.
That monkey music.Copy !req
1145. Okay, she did buy me a drink.Copy !req
1146. What's wrong with that?Copy !req
1147. I didn't even know who she was
until she started talking about Johnny.Copy !req
1148. Will you cut that music out?Copy !req
1149. Go on with the rest of it, Buzz.
Why did you kill her?Copy !req
1150. Who says I killed her?
You can't hand me that stuff.Copy !req
1151. Not even you.
I wouldn't dirty my hands on her.Copy !req
1152. All right, turn it off.Copy !req
1153. I didn't mean that, Johnny.Copy !req
1154. I just had to get out of there.
I couldn't take it anymore.Copy !req
1155. She called me back,
but I just kept right on going.Copy !req
1156. And I don't know where.
I guess I must have gone home.Copy !req
1157. That's where I went, wasn't it, George?Copy !req
1158. He was wet enough
to have walked all the way.Copy !req
1159. He got home three minutes past eight.
Are you satisfied?Copy !req
1160. You could have told us that a long time ago.Copy !req
1161. I guess you know why I didn't. I wasn't
sure enough when that shot was fired.Copy !req
1162. Are you sure now?Copy !req
1163. You've got a witness, haven't you?Copy !req
1164. A witness you yourself called
a cheap blackmailer.Copy !req
1165. Now just a minute.
I could be called that once too often.Copy !req
1166. You be sure to tell us when to duck.Copy !req
1167. What makes you so top-heavy
all of a sudden?Copy !req
1168. For all anybody here knows,
you could have killed Mrs Morrison yourself.Copy !req
1169. Except that you fixed the time.Copy !req
1170. Well, maybe I kind of made a mistake there.
Five or 10 minutes either way.Copy !req
1171. Be hard to tell. I was kind of busy
keeping the rain off my neck.Copy !req
1172. I ain't the wristwatch type, you know.Copy !req
1173. That umbrella of yours
must've got pretty wet last night.Copy !req
1174. That's what I bought it for.Copy !req
1175. You ought to have left it on the porch,Copy !req
1176. instead of letting it drip
all over Mrs Morrison's carpet.Copy !req
1177. - I did leave it on the porch. That is, I...
- All right.Copy !req
1178. Might as well wrap it up for tonight.
We don't seem to be getting anyplace.Copy !req
1179. We'll want signed statements from all of you,
but tomorrow will be time enough.Copy !req
1180. Yeah, I got to get back to the job myself.Copy !req
1181. Well, good night, all.
No hard feelings, I hope.Copy !req
1182. Oh, Captain, I wish you'd put in a good word
for me with the hotel manager.Copy !req
1183. He's kind of sore at me.Copy !req
1184. Surely not for blackmailing the guests.Copy !req
1185. All right.Copy !req
1186. You don't really think
you're going out that door, do you?Copy !req
1187. What're you getting at?Copy !req
1188. How much did you up the ante on her
when her husband came home?Copy !req
1189. What did she threaten to do? Get you fired?Copy !req
1190. Or was she going to have Harwood's friends
give you the treatment?Copy !req
1191. Maybe she was going
to blow a hole in you herself.Copy !req
1192. Only she wouldn't know how to handle
that kind of a gun.Copy !req
1193. All you had to do
was grab it out of her hand.Copy !req
1194. I guess even a very cheap blackmailer
could do that.Copy !req
1195. Cheap, huh?Copy !req
1196. Sure, a cigar and a drink
and a couple of dirty bucks.Copy !req
1197. That's all it cost to buy me.
That's what she thought.Copy !req
1198. Found out a little different, didn't she?Copy !req
1199. Maybe I could get tired of being
pushed around by cops and hotel managersCopy !req
1200. and ritzy dames in bungalows.Copy !req
1201. Maybe I could cost a little something,
just for once.Copy !req
1202. And if I do end up on a slab...Copy !req
1203. Boy, am I sunk.Copy !req
1204. - And that was one of the easy ones.
- We must be getting old.Copy !req
1205. I felt kind of sorry for the old gent at that.Copy !req
1206. - Thanks, Bill.
- You're welcome, Mrs Harwood. Good night.Copy !req
1207. We seem to be saying good-bye again.Copy !req
1208. It won't be so difficult this time, I guess.Copy !req
1209. Last night when I made myself
walk out on you, remember?Copy !req
1210. I said every guy had seen you before.
Somewhere.Copy !req
1211. - I remember.
- But the trick was to find you.Copy !req
1212. I remember that, too.
Do you think I'd ever forget it?Copy !req
1213. Let's go find someplace
where we can get a drink, huh?Copy !req
1214. - We got to wait for Johnny.
- We got to wait for Johnny?Copy !req
1215. What do you think I am? A camel? Come on.Copy !req
