(Radio Announcer)
Men, are you over 40?

02:22.480 --> 02:24.948
When you wake up in the morning,
do you feel tired and rundown?

02:25.119 --> 02:27.679
Do you have that listless feeling?

- Jefferies.
- (Man) Congratulations, Jeff.

04:03.399 --> 04:06.038
- For what?
- Getting rid of that cast.

04:06.199 --> 04:07.552
Who said | was getting rid of it?

04:07.719 --> 04:09.550
{Man Over Telephone)
This is Wednesday.

04:09.720 --> 04:14.032
Seven weeks from the day
you broke your leg. Yes or no?

04:14.199 --> 04:16.474
(Jefferies) Gunnison, how did
you get to be such a big editor

04:16.639 --> 04:18.470
with such a small memory?

04:18.640 --> 04:20.631
Thrift, industry and hard work...

04:20.799 --> 04:23.632
and catching the publisher
with his secretary.

04:23.800 --> 04:25.791
- Did I get the wrong day?
- (Jefferies) No.

04:26.719 --> 04:27.947
No, wrong week.

04:28.120 --> 04:32.875
Next Wednesday | emerge from this...
plaster cocoon.

04:33.040 --> 04:37.556
That's too bad, Jeff.
Well, | guess | can't be lucky every day.

04:37.719 --> 04:38.947
Forget | called.

04:39.120 --> 04:41.588
(Jefferies) Yeah, 1 sure feel
sorry for you, Gunnison.

04:42.040 --> 04:45.669
Must be rough on you thinking of me
wearing this cast for another week.

04:45.840 --> 04:48.434
That one week is gonna cost
me my best photographer,

04:48.599 --> 04:50.396
and you a big assignment.

04:50.560 --> 04:51.549
Where?

04:51.719 --> 04:53.471
(Gunnison) There's no point
in even talking about it.

04:53.639 --> 04:55.311
(Jefferies)
Oh, come on, come on. Where?

04:55.480 --> 04:59.155
Kashmir. Got a code tip from
the bureau chief this morning.

04:59.320 --> 05:01.151
The place is about to go up in smoke.

05:01.319 --> 05:04.197
What did | tell you? Didn't | tell
you that's the next place to watch?

05:04.359 --> 05:06.953
- (Gunnison) You did.
- (Jefferies) When do 1 leave? Hour?

05:07.120 --> 05:11.318
- With that cast on? You don't.
- Stop sounding stuffy.

05:11.480 --> 05:15.155
I can take pictures from a jeep
or a water buffalo, if necessary.

05:15.319 --> 05:18.356
(Gunnison) You're too valuable to the
magazine for us to play around with.

05:18.520 --> 05:21.034
- I'll send Morgan or Lambert.
- (Jefferies) Morgan or Lambert.

05:21.200 --> 05:22.838
That's fine.

05:22.999 --> 05:25.308
| get myself half-killed for you,

05:25.479 --> 05:27.674
and you reward me
by stealing my assignments.

05:27.840 --> 05:30.479
(Gunnison) | didn't ask you to stand in
the middle of an automobile racetrack.

05:31.480 --> 05:34.597
(Jefferies) You asked for something
dramatically different.

05:34.760 --> 05:37.194
- You got it.
- (Gunnison) So did you.

05:37.360 --> 05:39.271
- Goodbye, Jeff.
- Now, wait a minute, Gunnison.

05:39.439 --> 05:41.236
You've got to get me out of here.

05:41.560 --> 05:43.790
Six weeks sitting
in a two-room apartment

05:43.960 --> 05:46.110
with nothing to do but look out
the window at the neighbours.

05:46.199 --> 05:47.951
- Bye, Jeff.
- No, Gunnison, |...

05:48.800 --> 05:51.473
If you don't pull me out
of this swamp of boredom,

05:51.640 --> 05:53.153
I'm gonna do something drastic.

05:53.319 --> 05:55.435
- (Gunnison) Like what?
- (Jefferies) "Like what?” Get married.

05:55.600 --> 05:57.477
Then I'll never be able to go anywhere.

05:57.639 --> 05:58.958
(Gunnison)
It's about time you got married,

05:59.120 --> 06:03.511
before you turn into
a lonesome and bitter, old man.

06:03.680 --> 06:05.716
Yeah, can't you just see me?

06:06.680 --> 06:08.636
Rushing home to a hot apartment

06:08.799 --> 06:12.633
to listen to the automatic laundry
and the electric dishwasher

06:12.800 --> 06:17.112
and the garbage disposal
and the nagging wife.

06:17.279 --> 06:20.510
(Gunnison) Jeff, wives don’t nag
any more, they discuss.

06:20.679 --> 06:22.909
(Jeff) Is that so? Is that so?

06:23.079 --> 06:25.468
Maybe in the high-rent district
they discuss.

06:25.640 --> 06:27.710
In my neighbourhood, they still nag.

06:27.879 --> 06:31.713
(Gunnison) Well, you know best.
I'll call you later.

06:31.880 --> 06:35.919
Yeah, have some good news
the next time, huh?

06:36.080 --> 06:38.275
(Arguing, Indistinct}

07:26.640 --> 07:29.029

Good morning. | said, "Good morning!”

07:29.200 --> 07:30.792
Oh, good morning.

07:31.480 --> 07:35.268
(Children Laughing, Playing}

07:47.760 --> 07:50.672
Say, | wouldn't dig so deep
if | were you.

07:52.439 --> 07:54.509
You're giving them far too much water.

07:55.600 --> 07:57.318
Why don't you shut up?

08:00.520 --> 08:01.839
Welll

08:01.959 --> 08:03.472
| do declare.

(Woman) State sentence
for a peeping tom,

08:07.200 --> 08:08.713
is six months in the workhouse.

08:08.880 --> 08:10.154
Oh, hello, sweetheart.

08:10.320 --> 08:12.709
They got no windows in the workhouse.

08:12.880 --> 08:16.555
In the old days, they used to put
your eyes out with a red-hot poker.

08:16.720 --> 08:19.632
Any of those bikini bombshells
you're always watching

08:19.800 --> 08:21.358
worth a red-hot poker?

08:21.520 --> 08:23.317
Oh, dear.

08:23.480 --> 08:26.074
We've become a race of Peeping Toms.

08:26.239 --> 08:28.355
What people ought to do
is get outside their own house

08:28.520 --> 08:29.999
and look in for a change.

08:30.160 --> 08:33.675
Yes, sir. How's that for
a bit of homespun philosophy?

Well, | only quote from the best.

08:38.680 --> 08:40.398
You don't have to take
my temperature this morning.

08:40.560 --> 08:43.120
Quiet. See if you can break 100.

08:43.279 --> 08:45.474
You know, | should have been
a gypsy fortune-teller

08:45.639 --> 08:47.834
instead of an insurance company nurse.

08:48.000 --> 08:51.788
| got a nose for trouble.
Can smell it ten miles away.

08:51.960 --> 08:55.919
You heard of that market crash in '29?
| predicted that.

08:56.360 --> 08:58.191
Just how did you do that, Stella?

08:58.359 --> 09:02.955
Oh, simple. | was nursing
a director of General Motors.

09:03.120 --> 09:07.272
"Kidney ailment,” they said.
"Nerves," | said.

09:07.440 --> 09:08.759
Then | asked myself,

09:08.919 --> 09:11.956
"What's General Motors
got to be nervous about?”

09:12.120 --> 09:15.271
"Overproduction,” | says. "Collapse."

09:15.440 --> 09:18.671
When General Motors has to go
to the bathroom ten times a day,

09:18.840 --> 09:21.070
the whole country's ready to let go.

09:22.839 --> 09:25.148
You know, Stella,
in economics, a kidney ailment

09:25.319 --> 09:26.957
has no relationship to the stock market.

09:27.159 --> 09:30.037
- None whatsoever.
- (Stella) Crashed, didn't it?

09:30.199 --> 09:33.236
| can smell trouble
right here in this apartment.

09:33.399 --> 09:34.798
First you smash your leg,

09:34.959 --> 09:37.712
then you get
to looking out the window,

09:37.880 --> 09:39.791
see things you shouldn't see.

09:39.960 --> 09:41.678
Trouble.

09:41.839 --> 09:43.477
| can see you in court now

09:43.639 --> 09:46.790
surrounded by a bunch of lawyers
in double-breasted suits.

09:46.959 --> 09:47.948
You're pleading.

09:48.120 --> 09:51.908
You say, "Judge,
it was only a bit of innocent fun.

09:48.120 --> 09:50.839
| love my neighbours, like a father.”

09:54.960 --> 09:57.030
And the judge says,
"Well, congratulations.

09:57.199 --> 10:00.316
You've just given birth
to three years in Dannamora.”

10:00.480 --> 10:02.869
Right now, I'd welcome trouble.

10:03.039 --> 10:04.472
You've got a hormone deficiency.

10:04.639 --> 10:06.152
How can you tell from a thermometer?

10:06.319 --> 10:08.071
Those bathing beauties
you've been watching

10:08.240 --> 10:12.472
haven't raised your temperature
one degree in a month.

10:14.319 --> 10:16.310
Here we go.

10:19.120 --> 10:22.396
(Sighs} One more week.

10:25.399 --> 10:27.390
(Groans) | think you're right.

10:27.560 --> 10:29.516
| think there is gonna be
trouble around here.

10:29.680 --> 10:31.033
| knew it.

10:31.199 --> 10:34.236
Ooh. Do you ever heat that stuff?

10:34.399 --> 10:37.197
Gives your
circulation something to fight.

10:37.359 --> 10:40.510
- What kind of trouble?
- Lisa Fremont.

10:40.680 --> 10:43.114
You kidding?
She's a beautiful, young girl,

10:43.279 --> 10:46.112
and you're a reasonably
healthy young man.

10:46.279 --> 10:48.839
- She expects me to marry her.
- That's normal.

10:48.999 --> 10:51.069
- | don't want to.
- That's abnormal.

10:51.240 --> 10:53.515
I'm just not ready for marriage.

10:53.680 --> 10:56.672
Every man's ready for marriage
when the right girl comes along.

10:56.839 --> 10:59.353
Lisa Fremont is the right girl
for any man with half a brain

10:59.519 --> 11:00.838
who can get one eye open.

11:00.999 --> 11:02.432
She's alright.

11:02.600 --> 11:04.750
- What did you do, have a fight?
- No.

11:04.920 --> 11:07.434
- Father loading up the shotgun?
- What?

11:07.599 --> 11:09.829
- Please, Stella.
- It's happened before, you know.

11:10.000 --> 11:12.514
Some of the world's
happiest marriages have

11:12.680 --> 11:14.671
started 'under the gun,’
as you might say.

11:14.839 --> 11:17.558
- No, she's just not the girl for me.
- Yeah, she's only perfect.

11:17.719 --> 11:19.710
She's too perfect. She's too talented.

11:19.880 --> 11:22.269
She's too beautiful.
She's too sophisticated.

11:22.440 --> 11:24.670
She's too everything, but what | want.

11:24.840 --> 11:27.957
Is what you want
something you can discuss?

11:28.120 --> 11:30.190
What? It's very simple, Stella.

11:30.360 --> 11:33.796
She belongs to that rarefied
atmosphere of Park Avenue:

11:33.960 --> 11:37.316
expensive restaurants
and literary cocktail parties.

11:37.479 --> 11:39.310
People with sense
belong wherever they're put.

11:39.480 --> 11:42.199
Can you imagine her tramping around
the world with a camera bum

11:42.360 --> 11:44.590
who never has more than
a week's salary in the bank?

11:44.759 --> 11:47.114
If she was only ordinary.

11:47.919 --> 11:49.591
You never gonna get married?

11:49.759 --> 11:51.477
I'll probably get married
one of these days,

11:51.639 --> 11:54.028
but when | do, it's gonna be
to someone who thinks of life

11:54.199 --> 11:58.351
not just as a new dress
and a lobster dinner

11:58.519 --> 12:00.589
and the latest scandal.

12:00.759 --> 12:03.796
| need a woman who's willing to...
Hold it.

12:03.960 --> 12:07.635
Who's willing to go anywhere
and do anything and love it.

12:07.800 --> 12:10.997
So the honest thing for me to do
is just call the whole thing off.

12:11.160 --> 12:12.832
Let her find somebody else.

12:12.999 --> 12:14.830
Yeah, | can hear you now.

12:15.000 --> 12:18.709
"Get out of my life,
you perfectly wonderful woman.”

12:18.880 --> 12:20.871
Look, Mr Jefferies,
I'm not an educated woman,

12:21.039 --> 12:22.916
but | can tell you one thing.

12:23.079 --> 12:26.196
When a man and a woman see
each other and like each other,

12:26.360 --> 12:28.271
they ought to come together, wham,

12:28.440 --> 12:30.192
like a couple of taxis on Broadway

12:30.360 --> 12:32.749
and not sit around analysing each other

12:32.919 --> 12:34.557
like two specimens in a bottle.

12:34.719 --> 12:37.597
There's an intelligent way
to approach marriage.

12:37.759 --> 12:38.828
Intelligence.

12:39.000 --> 12:42.595
Nothing has caused the human race
so much trouble as intelligence.

12:42.759 --> 12:45.034
(Laughs) Modern marriage.

12:45.199 --> 12:48.828
- No, we've progressed emotionally.
- Baloney.

12:49.440 --> 12:53.479
Once it was see somebody,
get excited, get married.

12:53.640 --> 12:54.959
Now, it's read a lot of books,

12:55.120 --> 12:58.590
fence with a lot of four-syllable
words, psychoanalyse each other

12:58.759 --> 13:00.238
until you can't tell the difference

13:00.399 --> 13:03.357
between a petting party
and a civil service exam.

13:04.479 --> 13:06.993
People have different emotional levels -

13:07.159 --> 13:10.549
When | married Myles, we were both
a couple of maladjusted misfits.

13:10.719 --> 13:15.839
We are still maladjusted, and we
have loved every minute of it.

13:16.000 --> 13:17.035
Well, that's fine, Stella.

13:17.199 --> 13:18.996
Now, would you
fix me a sandwich, please?

13:19.159 --> 13:22.993
Yes, | will. And I'll spread
a little common sense on the bread.

13:23.160 --> 13:25.879
Lisa's loaded to her fingertips
with love for you.

13:26.040 --> 13:28.759
| got two words of advice
for you: Marry her.

13:28.920 --> 13:31.480
- She pay you much?
- Oh.

13:31.639 --> 13:33.630
(Chuckling}

13:31.639 --> 13:33.516
There you are.

13:52.639 --> 13:53.958
- Here's the key.
- Thank you.

14:02.040 --> 14:05.237
Well, if you want anything, just ring.

14:17.319 --> 14:18.638
Honey.

14:19.120 --> 14:20.553
Come on.

14:27.399 --> 14:30.357

15:40.560 --> 15:42.551
How's your leg?

15:42.720 --> 15:44.551
It hurts a little.

15:44.720 --> 15:48.508
- And your stomach?
- Empty as a football.

15:50.319 --> 15:52.389
And your love life?

15:52.560 --> 15:54.790
Not too active.

Anything else bothering you?

Carol...

16:15.880 --> 16:17.199
Fremont.

16:18.600 --> 16:21.717
Is this the Lisa Fremont who
never wears the same dress twice?

16:21.880 --> 16:24.440
Only because it's expected of her.

16:24.600 --> 16:26.556
It's right off the Paris plane.

16:26.719 --> 16:29.631
- Do you think it'll sell?
- That depends on the quote.

16:29.799 --> 16:31.835
Let's see now.
There's the aeroplane ticket over,

16:32.000 --> 16:33.991
import duties, hidden taxes,

16:34.160 --> 16:36.958
- profit markup -
- A steal at $1,100.

16:37.120 --> 16:39.350
Eleven hundred?

16:39.519 --> 16:41.874
They ought to list that dress
on the stock exchange.

16:42.039 --> 16:44.633
We sell a dozen a day
in this price range.

16:44.800 --> 16:46.199
Who buys them, tax collectors?

16:46.359 --> 16:48.350
Even if | had to pay,
it would be worth it.

16:48.519 --> 16:51.591
- Just for the occasion.
- Why, is something big going on?

16:51.759 --> 16:54.193
It's going on right here. It's a big night.

16:54.360 --> 16:57.636
It's just an old
run-of-the-mill Wednesday.

16:57.800 --> 16:59.199
The calendar's full of them.

16:59.360 --> 17:04.070
It's opening night of the last depressing
week of L B Jefferies in a cast.

17:04.239 --> 17:07.709
Well, | haven't noticed
a big demand for tickets.

17:07.880 --> 17:10.553
That's because | bought out the house.

17:10.719 --> 17:14.189
You know, this cigarette box
has seen better days.

17:14.360 --> 17:17.557
| picked that up in Shanghai,
which has also seen better days.

17:17.720 --> 17:19.915
It's cracked and you never use it.

17:20.079 --> 17:21.797
It's too ornate.

17:21.959 --> 17:25.508
I'm sending up a plain, flat,
silver one with your initials.

17:25.679 --> 17:28.147
That's no way to spend
your hard-earned money.

17:28.319 --> 17:30.150
| wanted to.

17:30.400 --> 17:31.913


17:33.280 --> 17:35.748
What would you think of
starting off with dinner at '21'?

17:35.919 --> 17:38.558
You have, perhaps,
an ambulance downstairs?

17:38.720 --> 17:41.553
No, better than that: '21'.

17:46.439 --> 17:49.909
Thank you for waiting, Carl.
The kitchen's right there on the left.

17:50.079 --> 17:52.070
I'll take the wine.

17:54.360 --> 17:56.032
- Good evening, Mr Jefferies.
- Carl.

17:56.199 --> 17:59.236
Just put everything
in the oven, Carl, on low.

17:59.400 --> 18:02.312
- Let's open the wine now.
- (Jeff) Alright.

18:02.480 --> 18:05.233
- It's a Montrachet.
- A great big glassful.

18:05.400 --> 18:08.392
There's a corkscrew right over there.

18:08.559 --> 18:10.390
Here, I'll do it.

18:11.760 --> 18:14.228
- Big enough?
- Yeah, they're fine.

18:14.400 --> 18:16.789
| can't think of anything more
boring or tiresome

18:16.959 --> 18:20.190
than what you've been through
and the last week must be the hardest.

18:20.360 --> 18:24.478
Alright. Yeah, | want to get
this thing off and get moving.

18:24.639 --> 18:28.791
Well, I'm going to make this
a week you'll never forget.

18:30.240 --> 18:32.310
Fine, thanks.

18:32.480 --> 18:34.232
Just a minute, Carl.

18:34.400 --> 18:37.039
- This will take care of the taxi.
- Thank you, Miss Fremont.

18:37.199 --> 18:41.715
- Have a pleasant dinner, Mr Jefferies.
- Alright, Good night.

18:41.880 --> 18:43.199
Good night.

18:45.120 --> 18:46.394
What a day I've had.

18:46.559 --> 18:48.868
- Are you tired?
- Not a bit.

18:49.039 --> 18:50.518
| was all morning in a meeting,

18:50.679 --> 18:54.035
then | had to dash to the Waldorf
for a quick drink with Madam Dufrene,

18:54.200 --> 18:57.510
who's just over from Paris
with some spy reports.

18:54.200 --> 18:57.988
Then I had to go to '21' and have lunch
with the Harper's Bazaar people.

19:02.520 --> 19:04.272
That's when | ordered dinner.

19:04.439 --> 19:07.317
Then | had two fall showings
20 blocks apart.

19:07.479 --> 19:09.515
Then | had to have a cocktail
with Leland and Slim Hayward.

19:09.679 --> 19:11.397
We're trying to get his new show.

19:11.559 --> 19:13.277
Then | had to dash back and change.

19:13.439 --> 19:17.671
Well, now, tell me,
what was Mrs Hayward wearing?

19:17.840 --> 19:19.592
- She looked wonderfully cool.
- She didn't, did she?

19:19.760 --> 19:22.638
She had on the most divine
Italian hand-printed -

19:22.799 --> 19:24.790
- Oh, Italian?
- Oh, you.

19:24.959 --> 19:28.349
- Italian. Imagine.
- To think | planted three nice items

19:28.520 --> 19:30.715
- in the columns about you today.
- You did?

19:30.879 --> 19:33.951
- You can't buy that kind of publicity.
- | know.

19:34.119 --> 19:37.794
Someday you may want to
open up a studio of your own here.

19:37.959 --> 19:40.996
How would | run it from, say, Pakistan?

19:42.559 --> 19:44.151


19:44.720 --> 19:48.554
Isn't it time you came home?
You could pick your assignment.

19:49.640 --> 19:52.791
- | wish there was one | wanted.
- Make the one you want.

19:52.959 --> 19:54.597
- You mean leave the magazine?
- Yes.

19:54.759 --> 19:57.717
- For what?
- For yourself and me.

19:59.000 --> 20:00.672
| could get you a dozen
assignments tomorrow:

20:00.839 --> 20:02.591
- Fashions, portraits.
- {Chuckles}

20:02.760 --> 20:06.150
- Now, don't laugh. | could do it.
- That's what I'm afraid of.

20:06.320 --> 20:09.517
Can you see me driving down
to the fashion salon in a jeep

20:09.679 --> 20:13.638
wearing combat boots and a three-day
beard? Wouldn't that make a hit?

20:13.760 --> 20:16.558
| could see you looking
very handsome and successful

20:16.719 --> 20:18.596
in a dark blue, flannel suit.

20:18.759 --> 20:21.831
Let's stop talking nonsense, shall we?

20:21.999 --> 20:23.432


20:25.559 --> 20:27.754
Guess I'd better
start setting up for dinner.

20:37.759 --> 20:40.831
(Bing Crosby) # To see you

20:40.999 --> 20:43.559
# Is to love you

20:43.719 --> 20:46.108
# And | see you

20:46.280 --> 20:49.397
# Everywhere

20:49.559 --> 20:51.868
# In the sunrise

20:52.039 --> 20:54.758
# In the moonglow

20:54.919 --> 20:57.149
# Anyplace | look

20:57.319 --> 20:59.787
# You're there

21:00.360 --> 21:03.079
# To see you

21:03.240 --> 21:06.277
# Is to want you

21:06.439 --> 21:10.068
# And | see you all the time

21:11.640 --> 21:13.995
# On a sidewalk

21:14.160 --> 21:16.549
# In a doorway

21:16.719 --> 21:20.155
# On the lonely stairs I climb

21:23.160 --> 21:24.559
# Someday

21:24.720 --> 21:26.915
# Let me show you

21:27.720 --> 21:30.792
# How happy endings start

21:32.799 --> 21:34.357
# You'll find

21:34.519 --> 21:36.669
# how well | know you

21:38.439 --> 21:41.317
# Cause to know you at all

21:42.280 --> 21:45.033
# Is to know you by heart

21:47.199 --> 21:49.554
# To see you

21:49.879 --> 21:52.996
# Is to love you

21:53.160 --> 21:57.119
# And you're never out of sight

21:58.280 --> 22:00.669
# And | love you

22:00.840 --> 22:02.876
# And I'll see you

22:04.400 --> 22:07.551
# In the same old dream

22:08.520 --> 22:11.398
# Tonight #

22:27.799 --> 22:29.198
(Jeff) Miss Lonelyhearts.

22:29.679 --> 22:32.477
At least that's something
you'll never have to worry about.

22:32.640 --> 22:33.868
Oh?

22:34.039 --> 22:37.634
You can see my apartment from here,
all the way up on 63rd Street?

22:37.799 --> 22:40.677
No, not exactly,
but we have a little apartment here

22:40.839 --> 22:42.955
that's probably as popular as yours.

22:43.120 --> 22:47.352
You remember, of course,
Miss Torso, the ballet dancer?

22:47.520 --> 22:51.308
She's like a queen bee
with her pick of the drones.

23:00.120 --> 23:02.111
(Lisa) I'd say she's
doing a woman's hardest job.

23:02.280 --> 23:03.952
Juggling wolves.

23:10.160 --> 23:11.957
Thank you.

23:23.119 --> 23:25.917
Well, she picked the most
prosperous-looking one.

23:26.079 --> 23:28.877
She's not in love with him...
or any of them.

23:29.039 --> 23:31.792
Oh, how can you tell that from here?

23:32.719 --> 23:36.632
You said it resembled
my apartment, didn't you?

23:51.079 --> 23:53.513
| hope they're cooked this time.

24:09.240 --> 24:12.710
(Distant Siren Wailing)

24:12.880 --> 24:16.236
(Siren Becoming Louder)

24:42.960 --> 24:46.236
(Woman Talking, Indistinct)

24:58.639 --> 25:01.995
# (Piano)

25:15.559 --> 25:17.515
Where's that
wonderful music coming from?

25:17.679 --> 25:20.910
Some songwriter over there
in the studio apartment.

25:21.079 --> 25:22.307


25:22.479 --> 25:24.197
He lives alone.

25:24.360 --> 25:27.830
Probably had a very unhappy marriage.

25:28.000 --> 25:30.116
Oh, it's enchanting.

25:32.359 --> 25:35.874
It's almost as if it were
being written especially for us.

25:36.039 --> 25:39.031
Hm. No wonder he's having
so much trouble with it.

25:42.840 --> 25:44.592
At least you can't say
the dinner isn't right.

25:45.480 --> 25:48.552
Lisa... it's perfect.

25:50.119 --> 25:51.552
As always.

26:02.640 --> 26:05.393
There can't be that much difference
between people and the way they live.

26:05.559 --> 26:07.914
We all eat, talk, drink,
laugh, wear clothes.

26:08.079 --> 26:09.398
Well, now look -

26:09.559 --> 26:11.868
If you're saying all this because
you don't want to tell me the truth,

26:12.039 --> 26:14.507
because you're hiding something from
me, then maybe | can understand.

26:14.679 --> 26:16.237
I'm not hiding anything. It's just that -

26:16.399 --> 26:17.627
It doesn't make sense.

26:17.799 --> 26:20.791
What's so different about it here
from there or anyplace you go

26:20.959 --> 26:23.268
that one person couldn't live
in both places just as easily?

26:23.439 --> 26:24.872
Some people can.
Now, if you'll just let me -

26:25.039 --> 26:27.872
What is it but travelling from
one place to another taking pictures?

26:28.039 --> 26:30.109
It's like being a tourist
on an endless vacation.

26:30.280 --> 26:32.555
OK. That's your opinion.
You're entitled to it.

26:32.719 --> 26:34.516
- Now, let me give you my side.
- It's ridiculous to say

26:34.679 --> 26:38.388
that it can only be done by a special,
private little group of anointed people.

26:38.559 --> 26:41.517
| made a simple statement,
a true statement,

26:41.679 --> 26:44.147
but | can back it up if you'll just
shut up for a minute.

26:45.120 --> 26:48.112
If your opinion is as rude as your
manner, | don't think | care to hear it.

26:48.280 --> 26:50.111
Oh, come on now. Simmer down.

26:50.280 --> 26:52.669
| can't fit in here. You can't fit in there.

26:52.839 --> 26:54.795
According to you, people
should be born, live and die

26:54.960 --> 26:56.871
- on the same spot!
- Shut up!

26:59.719 --> 27:03.678
- Did you ever eat fish heads and rice?
- Of course not.

27:03.840 --> 27:06.070
Well, you might have to
if you went with me.

27:06.240 --> 27:09.596
Did you ever try to keep warm
in a C-54 at 15,000 feet,

27:09.760 --> 27:11.751
20 degrees below zero?

27:11.919 --> 27:13.398
Oh, | do it all the time,

27:13.559 --> 27:15.311
whenever | have
a few minutes after lunch.

27:15.480 --> 27:17.357
Did you ever get shot at? Run over?

27:17.520 --> 27:18.635
Did you ever get sandbagged

27:18.799 --> 27:21.791
because somebody got unfavourable
publicity from your camera?

27:22.200 --> 27:24.839
Did you ever... Those high heels,
they'll be great in the jungle.

27:25.000 --> 27:26.911
And the nylons
and those six-ounce lingerie.

27:27.079 --> 27:28.717
- Three.
- Alright, three.

27:28.879 --> 27:31.871
They'll make a big hit in Finland,
just before you freeze to death.

27:32.039 --> 27:35.429
Well, if there's one thing | know,
it's how to wear the proper clothes.

27:35.599 --> 27:36.588
Yeah, yeah.

27:36.760 --> 27:40.275
Well, try and find a raincoat in Brazil,
even when it isn't raining.

27:40.439 --> 27:43.715
Lisa, in this job you carry one suitcase.

27:43.879 --> 27:46.154
Your home
is the available transportation.

27:46.320 --> 27:48.231
You don't sleep very much.
You bathe less.

27:48.400 --> 27:50.470
And sometimes the food that you eat

27:50.640 --> 27:53.393
is made from things that you couldn't
even look at when they're alive.

27:54.319 --> 27:57.629
Jeff, you don't have to be deliberately
repulsive just to impress me I'm wrong.

27:57.799 --> 28:00.597
Deliberately repulsive?
I'm trying to make it sound good.

28:00.760 --> 28:04.036
You just have to face it, Lisa,
you're not meant for that kind of a life.

28:04.319 --> 28:05.593
Few people are.

28:07.399 --> 28:12.314
- You're too stubborn to argue with.
- I'm not stubborn. I'm just truthful.

28:12.480 --> 28:15.836
| know, a lesser man would have
told me it was one long holiday,

28:16.000 --> 28:19.629
and | would have awakened
to a rude disillusionment.

28:19.799 --> 28:21.278
Well, now, wait a minute.

28:21.799 --> 28:25.553
If you want to get vicious on this thing,
I'd be happy to accommodate you.

28:28.200 --> 28:31.556
No, | don't particularly want that.

28:33.319 --> 28:34.638
So that's it?

28:33.319 --> 28:35.469
You won't stay here,
and | can't go with you.

28:37.879 --> 28:39.517
It would be the wrong thing.

28:41.880 --> 28:44.348
You don't think either one
of us could ever change?

28:45.799 --> 28:47.790
Right now it doesn't seem so.

28:52.479 --> 28:54.117
I-I'm in love with you.

28:54.280 --> 28:57.716
| don't care what you do for a living.

28:57.880 --> 29:00.189
I'd like to be part of it somehow.

29:02.520 --> 29:05.318
It's deflating to find out
the only way | can be part of it,

29:05.479 --> 29:09.597
is to take out a subscription
to your magazine.

29:09.760 --> 29:11.637
| guess I'm not the girl | thought | was.

29:12.960 --> 29:14.473
There's nothing wrong with you, Lisa.

29:14.640 --> 29:17.393
You've got this town
in the palm of your hand.

29:19.160 --> 29:21.196
Not quite, it seems.

29:22.959 --> 29:24.312
Goodbye, Jeff.

29:24.480 --> 29:25.879
You mean good night.

29:26.039 --> 29:28.599
- | mean what | said.
- Well, Lisa...

29:30.000 --> 29:31.638
couldn't we just...

29:32.479 --> 29:36.392
Couldn't we just...
keep things status quo?

29:39.039 --> 29:40.313
Without any future?

29:40.839 --> 29:42.431
Well, when am | gonna see you again?

29:44.559 --> 29:46.675
Not for a long time.

29:48.199 --> 29:51.635
At least... not until tomorrow night.

31:10.199 --> 31:12.349
Pull on it. Let me do it.

31:13.400 --> 31:15.834

It's much too late.

33:28.760 --> 33:29.909
No, not now.

35:09.560 --> 35:11.437
What's that supposed to be, ma'am?

35:11.599 --> 35:13.476
It's called hunger.

35:35.960 --> 35:38.349
You'd think the rain
would have cooled things off.

35:38.519 --> 35:40.635
- All it did was make the heat wet.
- Ahh, that's it.

35:40.800 --> 35:42.756
That's stiff right there. Right there.

35:43.320 --> 35:45.117
The insurance company
would be much happier

35:45.279 --> 35:48.555
if you'd sleep in bed at night
instead of in that wheelchair.

35:48.720 --> 35:51.029
- How do you know?
- Eyes are all bloodshot.

35:51.199 --> 35:53.110
Must have been watching
out that window for hours.

35:53.280 --> 35:54.395
Yeah, | was.

35:54.560 --> 35:55.834
What are you gonna do
if one of them catches you?

35:55.999 --> 35:59.036
It depends which one.
Miss Torso, for example -

35:59.199 --> 36:00.996
You keep your mind off her.

36:01.280 --> 36:03.748
She sure is the
‘eat, drink and be merry' girl.

36:03.919 --> 36:06.638
Yeah, she'll wind up fat,
alcoholic and miserable.

36:06.800 --> 36:08.199


36:08.359 --> 36:11.317
Speaking of misery,
poor Miss Lonelyhearts.

36:11.480 --> 36:14.313
She drank herself to sleep again, alone.

36:14.479 --> 36:18.392
Poor soul. Maybe one day
she'll find her happiness.

36:18.560 --> 36:21.074
Yeah, and some man will lose his.

36:21.239 --> 36:22.467
Isn't there anybody in the
neighbourhood

36:22.639 --> 36:24.436
who could cast an eye in her direction?

36:24.599 --> 36:26.430


36:26.599 --> 36:29.716
It might just be that the salesman
will be available soon.

36:29.879 --> 36:31.710
Oh, him and his wife splitting up?

36:31.879 --> 36:33.437
| just can't figure it.

36:33.599 --> 36:35.794
He went out several times
last night in the rain,

36:35.960 --> 36:39.032
- carrying his sample case.
- Well, he's a salesman, isn't he?

36:39.199 --> 36:41.474
What would he be selling
at three o'clock in the morning?

36:41.639 --> 36:44.836
Flashlights.
Luminous dials for watches.

36:44.999 --> 36:47.388
House numbers that light up.

36:47.560 --> 36:49.039
| don't think so.

36:49.200 --> 36:50.679
| don't think so.

36:51.119 --> 36:53.155
| think he was taking
something out of the apartment.

36:53.320 --> 36:56.915
Uh-huh. His personal effects.

36:58.359 --> 37:01.157
He's gonna run out on her, the coward.

37:01.320 --> 37:04.517
Yeah. Sometimes it's worse
to stay than it is to run.

37:04.679 --> 37:10.470
Yeah, well, it takes a particularly low
type of man to do a thing like that.

37:10.760 --> 37:12.352
How about this morning?

37:12.520 --> 37:14.397
Any further developments?

37:14.959 --> 37:16.950
The shades are all drawn
in the apartment.

37:17.119 --> 37:18.916
- In this heat?
- Yeah.

37:19.119 --> 37:21.269
Well, they're up now.

- Where do you want me to go?

37:29.040 --> 37:31.793
- Come on, get out of sight.
- What's the matter?

37:31.959 --> 37:33.915
That salesman's looking out of
his window. You see?

37:34.719 --> 37:36.471
Get back! He'll see you.

37:36.639 --> 37:38.630
I'm not shy. I've been looked at before.

37:38.799 --> 37:41.313
(Jeff) That's no ordinary look.

37:42.480 --> 37:44.072
That's the kind of look a man gives

37:44.239 --> 37:46.036
when he's afraid somebody
might be watching him.

37:58.280 --> 38:00.840
(Dog Whimpering}

38:03.199 --> 38:04.678

38:04.840 --> 38:07.070
He'll be after you.
Go on, into the house.

38:07.240 --> 38:09.231
Into the house. Shoo, shoo.

38:10.320 --> 38:12.550
Goodbye, Mr Jefferies.
See you tomorrow.

- Uh-huh.

38:22.479 --> 38:25.391

- Uh-huh.

38:25.560 --> 38:30.076
"Uh-huh. Uh-huh.”
Great conversationalist.

38:31.640 --> 38:32.959
Stella...

38:33.279 --> 38:37.238
Take those binoculars out
and bring them here, will you?

38:37.400 --> 38:38.879
Trouble.

38:39.039 --> 38:41.109
| can smell it.

38:41.280 --> 38:44.158
I'll be glad when they crack
that cast, and | can get outta here.

Well, if she's pretty enough,
she doesn't have to go anywhere.

42:19.800 --> 42:21.756
She just has to 'be.

42:21.919 --> 42:23.796
Well, ain't 1?

42:23.960 --> 42:25.996
Pay attention to me.

I'm not exactly
on the other side of the room.

42:45.999 --> 42:47.751
So do I.

42:48.560 --> 42:50.755
Tell me about it.

42:52.679 --> 42:54.271
Why?

42:54.920 --> 42:58.196
Why would a man leave
his apartment three times

42:58.359 --> 43:03.069
on a rainy night with a suitcase,
and come back three times?

43:03.239 --> 43:06.948
He likes the way his wife
welcomes him home.

43:07.119 --> 43:09.633
No, no. Not this salesman's wife.

43:09.800 --> 43:11.711
And why didn't he go to work today?

43:11.879 --> 43:15.394
Homework. It's more interesting.

43:15.560 --> 43:19.872
What's interesting about a butcher knife

43:20.040 --> 43:22.429
and a small saw

43:22.879 --> 43:25.188
wrapped in newspaper?

43:25.359 --> 43:27.236
Nothing, thank heaven.

43:27.399 --> 43:30.197
Why hasn't he been
in his wife's bedroom all day?

43:30.359 --> 43:33.112
| wouldn't dare answer that.

43:33.800 --> 43:36.394
Well, listen. I'll answer it, Lisa.

43:36.560 --> 43:39.996
There's something terribly wrong.

43:41.879 --> 43:45.110
- (Lisa) And I'm afraid it's with me.
- What do you think?

43:46.639 --> 43:50.029
Something too frightful to utter.

43:50.199 --> 43:53.350
(Jeff) He went out a few minutes
ago in his undershirt, hasn't come back.

44:06.440 --> 44:09.113
That would be a terrible job to tackle.

44:10.800 --> 44:14.190
# (Piano)

44:14.799 --> 44:17.359
Just how would you start
to cut up a human body?

44:20.319 --> 44:23.550
Jeff, I'll be honest with you.
You're beginning to scare me.

44:26.399 --> 44:29.948
Jeff, did you hear what | said?
You're beginning to scare -

44:30.119 --> 44:31.472
Shh! He's coming back!

44:59.040 --> 45:01.759
- Jeff, if you could only see yourself!
- What's the matter?

45:01.919 --> 45:04.308
Sitting around looking out of the
window to kill time is one thing,

45:04.479 --> 45:06.868
but doing it the way
you are with binoculars

45:07.040 --> 45:10.953
and wild opinions about every
little thing you see is diseased!

45:11.119 --> 45:13.474
Do you think | consider it recreation?

45:13.640 --> 45:15.392
| don't know what you consider it,

45:15.560 --> 45:17.630
but if you don't stop it,
I'm getting out of here.

45:17.800 --> 45:19.950
- What's the -
- What is it you're looking for?

45:20.119 --> 45:22.633
| just want to find out what's
the matter with the salesman's wife.

45:22.800 --> 45:24.438
Does that make me
sound like a madman?

45:24.599 --> 45:26.237
What makes you think there's
something the matter with her?

45:26.399 --> 45:29.675
A lot of things. She's an invalid.
She demands constant care.

45:29.840 --> 45:35.073
Yet not the husband or anybody else
has been in to see her all day. Why?

45:35.599 --> 45:38.238
- Maybe she died.
- (Jeff) Where's the doctor?

45:38.399 --> 45:39.548
Where's the undertaker?

45:39.719 --> 45:42.279
She could be sleeping, under sedatives.

45:42.440 --> 45:45.637
He's in there now.
There's nothing to see.

45:45.800 --> 45:47.711
There is something.
I've seen it through that window.

45:47.879 --> 45:50.632
I've seen bickering and family quarrels

45:50.799 --> 45:51.868
and mysterious trips at night

45:52.040 --> 45:53.792
and knives and saws and rope.

45:53.960 --> 45:56.918
Now, since last evening, not a sign
of the wife. Tell me where she is.

45:57.080 --> 45:58.752
- | don't know.
- What's she doing?

45:58.919 --> 46:01.877
Maybe he's leaving his wife.
| don't know. | don't care!

46:02.039 --> 46:05.111
Lots of people have knives and saws
and ropes around their houses.

46:05.280 --> 46:07.840
And lots of men don't speak
to their wives all day.

46:08.000 --> 46:10.389
Lots of wives nag and
men hate them and trouble starts,

46:10.560 --> 46:14.314
but few of them end up in murder,
if that's what you're thinking.

46:14.479 --> 46:16.709
It's pretty hard for you to keep
away from that word, isn't it?

46:16.879 --> 46:18.835
You could see all that he did,
couldn't you?

46:19.000 --> 46:21.036
- Of course, | -
- You could see cos the shades were up

46:21.279 --> 46:24.669
and he walked along the corridor
and the street and the backyard.

46:24.840 --> 46:25.829
I've seen him -

46:25.999 --> 46:28.593
Jeff, do you think a murderer
would let you see all that?

46:28.760 --> 46:31.479
That he wouldn't pull the shades
down and hide behind them?

46:31.640 --> 46:33.517
He's being clever. He's being nonchalant.

46:33.679 --> 46:35.715
And that's
where you're not bring clever.

46:35.879 --> 46:39.030
A murderer would never parade
his crime in front of an open window.

46:39.199 --> 46:40.188
Why not?

46:40.359 --> 46:43.635
For all you know, there's
something sinister going on there.

46:44.559 --> 46:46.868
Where? Oh.

46:48.159 --> 46:50.468
(Laughs) No comment.

47:12.040 --> 47:15.715
Let's start
from the beginning again, Jeff.

47:15.879 --> 47:18.791
Tell me everything you saw

47:18.960 --> 47:22.032
and what you think it means.

47:32.599 --> 47:34.237

Thank you, dear.

47:50.159 --> 47:52.309
(Lisa) "OK, chief.
What's my next assignment?”

47:52.479 --> 47:54.470
Just go home.

47:54.639 --> 47:57.153
(Lisa)
"Alright, but what's he doing now?”

47:57.320 --> 48:00.995
He's just sitting
in the living room in the dark.

48:01.160 --> 48:03.628
Hasn't gone near the bedroom.

48:03.800 --> 48:06.553
Now you go home

48:16.840 --> 48:18.193
(Man) "What's it about, Jeff?”

48:18.359 --> 48:21.271
Look, Doyle,
| can't tell you over the phone.

48:21.439 --> 48:23.714
You have to be here
and see the whole set-up.

48:23.879 --> 48:27.952
It's probably nothing.
It's just a little neighbourhood murder.

48:28.119 --> 48:31.031
- (Doyle) Did you say murder?”
- Yes, as a matter of fact, | did.

48:31.200 --> 48:32.269
(Doyle) "Oh, come now.”

48:32.439 --> 48:34.907
My only thought was throwing a little
business your way, that's all.

48:35.080 --> 48:38.231
| figured a detective would jump at
the chance of something to detect.

48:38.399 --> 48:40.037

- OK, Doyle. As soon as you can.

48:49.480 --> 48:51.357

48:51.519 --> 48:53.111
Gee whiz, look at this.

48:53.280 --> 48:55.555
| can't tell you
what a welcome sight this is.

48:55.720 --> 48:57.119
No wonder your husband still loves you.

48:57.279 --> 48:58.678
- The police.
- What?

48:58.840 --> 49:01.877
- You called the police.
- Well, not exactly.

49:02.039 --> 49:05.190
Not an official call.
It's an old friend of mine.

49:05.359 --> 49:08.317
An old, ornery friend of mine.

49:08.479 --> 49:12.552
Just where do you suppose
he cut her up?

49:12.720 --> 49:15.951
Of course. The bathtub.

49:16.119 --> 49:21.034
That's the only place where
he could have washed away the blood.

49:28.520 --> 49:33.196
He better get that trunk out
of there before it starts to leak.

49:59.120 --> 50:00.838
Look, look, Mr Jefferies.

50:37.359 --> 50:39.429
| thought Doyle would be here
by the time the trunk left,

50:39.600 --> 50:41.795
or I'd have called the police.
Now we're gonna lose it.

50:41.960 --> 50:43.598
- Hold everything.
- Don't do anything foolish.

50:43.759 --> 50:45.351
I'm just gonna get the name
off that freight truck.

50:45.519 --> 50:48.158
I'll keep an eye on the alley.

51:00.680 --> 51:01.999
Long distance.

51:05.960 --> 51:07.632
(Truck Departing)

51:26.280 --> 51:29.590
You didn't see the killing or the body.
How do you know there was a murder?

51:29.759 --> 51:32.592
Because everything this fellow's done
has been suspicious:

51:32.760 --> 51:36.116
Trips at night in the rain,
knives and saws and trunks with rope,

51:36.280 --> 51:38.271
and now this wife
that isn't there any more.

51:38.440 --> 51:41.079
| admit it all has a mysterious sound.

51:41.240 --> 51:44.789
It could be any number of things.
Murder's the least possible.

51:44.959 --> 51:46.836
Doyle, don't tell me
he's an unemployed magician,

51:47.000 --> 51:48.752
amusing the neighbourhood
with his sleight of hand.

51:48.920 --> 51:49.955
Don't tell me that.

51:50.120 --> 51:52.156
It's too obvious and stupid
a way to commit murder.

51:52.320 --> 51:53.958
In full view of 50 windows?

51:54.120 --> 51:56.509
Then sit there smoking a cigar,
waiting for the police to pick him up.

51:56.680 --> 51:59.194
Alright, officer, do your duty.
Go over and pick him up.

51:59.359 --> 52:02.396
Jeff, you've got a lot
to learn about homicide.

52:02.560 --> 52:04.357
Why, morons have committed
murder so shrewdly,

52:04.520 --> 52:07.751
it's taken a hundred trained
police minds to catch them.

52:07.919 --> 52:10.114
That salesman wouldn't just
knock his wife off after dinner

52:10.280 --> 52:12.669
and toss her in the trunk
and put her in storage.

52:13.039 --> 52:14.233
I'll bet it's been done.

52:14.400 --> 52:17.551
Most everything's been done...
under panic.

52:17.720 --> 52:19.392
This is a thousand-to-one shot.

52:19.560 --> 52:22.199
He's still sitting around the apartment.
That man's not panicked.

52:22.799 --> 52:24.835
You think | made all this up?

52:25.000 --> 52:26.718
Well, | think you saw something

52:26.880 --> 52:29.235
there's probably
a very simple explanation for.

52:29.400 --> 52:32.153
- For instance?
- Wife took a trip.

52:32.479 --> 52:34.071
His wife was sick in bed.

52:35.720 --> 52:38.075
Yeah, so you told me.

52:39.040 --> 52:41.474
Well, Jeff, I've got to run along.

52:42.880 --> 52:47.670
| won't report this to the department.
Let me poke into it a little on my own.

52:47.839 --> 52:50.307
No sense in your getting
a lot of ridiculous publicity.

52:50.479 --> 52:51.753
Thank you.

52:54.120 --> 52:56.793
We know the wife is gone,
so I'll see if | can find out where.

52:56.959 --> 52:58.278
Do that.

52:59.240 --> 53:01.390
You had any headaches lately?

53:01.560 --> 53:02.879
Not till you showed up.

53:03.919 --> 53:06.797
It will wear off,
along with the hallucinations.

53:06.959 --> 53:08.108
See you around.

53:11.240 --> 53:13.435
(Dog Whining)

53:31.720 --> 53:34.359
- Get along.
- (Barks)

53:53.720 --> 53:54.835
He has a six months' lease.

53:55.000 --> 53:57.798
Used up a little more than
five and a half months of it.

53:57.960 --> 54:00.235
He's quiet,
drinks, but not to drunkenness.

54:00.400 --> 54:01.958
Pays his bills promptly
with money earned

54:02.120 --> 54:04.759
as a costume jewellery salesman:
wholesale.

54:04.920 --> 54:07.753
Kept to himself. No neighbours
got close to him or his wife.

54:07.919 --> 54:09.591
Yeah, well, | think
they missed their chance with her.

54:09.760 --> 54:12.513
She never left the apartment,
until yesterday morning.

54:12.680 --> 54:14.830
- What time?
- 6:00am.

54:15.000 --> 54:17.036


54:17.199 --> 54:20.032
| think that's
about the time | fell asleep.

54:20.200 --> 54:21.474
Too bad.

54:21.640 --> 54:25.474
Thorwalds were leaving
their apartment at just that time.

54:26.280 --> 54:28.350
Feel a little foolish?

54:28.520 --> 54:30.511
No, not yet.

54:41.199 --> 54:44.509
- How's your wife?
- Oh, she's fine.

54:47.759 --> 54:48.987
Who said they left then?

54:50.200 --> 54:53.033
- W-Who left where?
- (Jeff) The Thorwalds, at 6:00am.

54:53.199 --> 54:55.872
Oh, the building superintendent
and two tenants.

54:56.040 --> 54:58.759
Flat statements, no hesitation.
They jived with the letter.

54:58.920 --> 55:01.229
Thorwalds were on their way
to the railroad station.

55:01.400 --> 55:04.597
Well, now, Tom, how could
anybody possibly guess that?

55:04.760 --> 55:06.478
What, did they have signs
on their luggage saying,

55:06.640 --> 55:07.868
'Grand Central, or bust'?

55:08.800 --> 55:11.394
The superintendent
met Thorwald on his way back.

55:11.560 --> 55:14.438
Thorwald told him that he'd put
his wife on a train to the country.

55:14.600 --> 55:17.478
| see. I'd say this is a pretty
convenient guy, this superintendent.

55:17.640 --> 55:19.835
Have you checked
his bank statements lately?

55:21.720 --> 55:25.190
- Huh?
- Well, what good's his information?

55:25.400 --> 55:29.234
It's a secondhand version of
an unsupported story by the murderer.

55:29.400 --> 55:32.836
Now did anybody actually see
the wife get on the train?

55:33.640 --> 55:34.629
| hate to remind you,

55:34.799 --> 55:36.710
but this all started because
you said she was murdered.

55:37.480 --> 55:39.994
Now, did anyone, including you,
actually see her murdered?

55:40.160 --> 55:42.116
(Stammering} What are you doing?

55:42.280 --> 55:45.511
Are you interested in solving
this case or making me look foolish?

55:46.559 --> 55:48.117
Well, if possible, both.

55:48.280 --> 55:49.918
Then do a good job of it.

55:50.080 --> 55:51.752
Go over there and search
Thorwald's apartment.

55:51.919 --> 55:53.352
It must be knee-deep in evidence.

55:53.519 --> 55:54.793
| can't do that.

55:54.959 --> 55:57.314
(Jeff) I don't mean right now,
but when he goes out for a drink,

55:57.480 --> 55:59.550
or a paper, or something.
What he doesn't know won't hurt him.

55:59.720 --> 56:01.392
| can't do that even if he isn't there.

56:01.560 --> 56:03.710
(Stammering} What's he...

56:03.880 --> 56:06.394
Does he have a courtesy card from
the police department or something?

56:06.559 --> 56:08.470
Now don't get me mad.

56:08.640 --> 56:11.632
Not even a detective can walk
into an apartment and search it.

56:11.800 --> 56:14.633
If | were caught in there, they'd
have my badge within ten minutes.

56:14.800 --> 56:16.870
(Jeff) Make sure
you don't get caught, that's all.

56:17.080 --> 56:19.640
If you find something,
you've got a murderer,

56:19.800 --> 56:21.279
and they don't care about
a couple of house rules.

56:21.439 --> 56:23.350
If you don't find anything,
the fellow's clear.

56:23.519 --> 56:25.475
At the risk of sounding stuffy,

56:25.640 --> 56:29.030
I'd like to remind you
of the Constitution and the phrase,

56:29.199 --> 56:32.589
‘search warrant issued by a judge’
who knows the Bill of Rights verbatim.

56:32.760 --> 56:36.036
- He must ask for evidence.
- Give him evidence.

56:37.640 --> 56:39.358
Yeah, | can hear myself,

56:39.520 --> 56:44.355
"Your Honour, | have a friend
who's an amateur sleuth.”

56:44.520 --> 56:47.557
"The other night, after
having a heavy dinner, he...”

56:47.720 --> 56:50.553
He'd throw the New York State
penal code in my face,

56:50.719 --> 56:51.834
and there's six volumes.

56:53.039 --> 56:55.553
By tomorrow morning there
may not be any evidence left

56:55.720 --> 56:57.358
over in that apartment, you know that.

56:57.919 --> 56:59.238
It's a detective's nightmare.

56:59.400 --> 57:02.631
(Stammering) What do you need
before you can search?

57:02.800 --> 57:04.028
Tell me now, what do you need?

57:04.200 --> 57:06.236
Bloody footsteps
leading up to the door?

57:06.400 --> 57:10.029
One thing | don't need is heckling.
You called me and asked for help.

57:10.200 --> 57:13.192
Now you're behaving like a taxpayer.

57:13.360 --> 57:15.271
How did we ever
stand each other in that plane

57:15.439 --> 57:16.633
for three years during the war?

# (Woman Vocalising)

57:19.240 --> 57:20.798
| guess I'll go over
to the railroad station

57:20.959 --> 57:22.472
and check on Thorwald's story.

57:22.639 --> 57:23.867
(Jeff) Oh, forget about the story.

57:24.040 --> 57:26.270
Find the trunk. Mrs Thorwald's in it.

57:27.000 --> 57:28.319
Oh, | almost forgot.

57:28.479 --> 57:31.949
There was a postcard
in Thorwald's mailbox. It was...

57:32.120 --> 57:34.634
mailed 3:30 yesterday
afternoon from Merritsville.

57:32.120 --> 57:33.633
That's 80 miles north of here.

57:36.880 --> 57:38.791

Already feeling better. Love, Anna.’

Take a look at Thorwald.
He's getting ready to pull out.

He doesn't seem to be in any hurry.

01:03:43.439 --> 01:03:45.873
He's been laying out all
his things on one of the beds:

01:03:46.040 --> 01:03:48.110
Shirts, suits, coats, socks.

01:03:48.279 --> 01:03:52.477
Even that alligator handbag
his wife left on the bedpost.

01:03:52.640 --> 01:03:55.279
He had it hidden in the dresser.
At least, it was there.

01:03:55.439 --> 01:03:59.114
He took it out, went to the telephone
and made a long distance call.

01:03:59.279 --> 01:04:01.839
He had his wife's jewellery
in the handbag.

01:04:01.999 --> 01:04:04.797
Seemed worried about it.
Asked someone's advice over the phone.

01:04:04.959 --> 01:04:06.472
Someone not his wife.

01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:08.311
Well, | never saw him
ask her for advice.

01:04:08.479 --> 01:04:11.869
She volunteered plenty,
but | never saw him ask her for any.

01:04:21.960 --> 01:04:25.236
- | wonder where he's going.
- | don't know.

01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:30.793
- Suppose he doesn't come back?
- He'll be back. His things are there.

01:04:30.959 --> 01:04:33.917
- | guess it's safe to put on lights.
- No, not yet!

01:04:41.039 --> 01:04:46.113
OK, you can turn it on now. He must
have gone someplace to the right.

01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:49.477
All day long, I've been trying
to keep my mind on my work.

01:04:49.639 --> 01:04:53.712
- (Lisa) Thinking about Thorwald?
- And you, and your friend, Doyle.

01:04:53.879 --> 01:04:56.871
- Did you hear from him since he left?
- (Jeff) Not a word.

01:04:57.039 --> 01:04:59.314
He said he was gonna check
the railroad station and the trunk.

01:04:59.479 --> 01:05:01.117
He must be still at it.

01:05:02.040 --> 01:05:04.235
Something on your mind?

01:05:04.400 --> 01:05:07.710
- It doesn't make sense to me.
- What doesn't?

01:05:07.879 --> 01:05:10.473
Women aren't that unpredictable.

01:05:10.640 --> 01:05:14.553
Hmm. Well, | can't guess
what you're thinking.

01:05:14.719 --> 01:05:17.108
A woman has a favourite handbag,

01:05:17.279 --> 01:05:21.158
and it always hangs on her bedpost
where she can get at it easily.

01:05:21.320 --> 01:05:24.915
Then, all of a sudden, she goes away
on a trip and leaves it behind. Why?

01:05:25.080 --> 01:05:26.718
Because she didn't know
she was going on a trip,

01:05:26.879 --> 01:05:28.710
and where she's going,
she wouldn't need the handbag.

01:05:28.879 --> 01:05:32.633
Yes, but only her husband
would know that.

01:05:32.799 --> 01:05:35.632
And that jewellery - Women don't
keep their jewellery in a purse

01:05:35.799 --> 01:05:38.108
getting all twisted
and scratched and tangled up.

01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:39.793
Well, do they hide it
in their husband's clothes?

01:05:39.960 --> 01:05:43.794
They do not.
And they don't leave it behind either.

01:05:44.399 --> 01:05:46.515
Why, a woman going anywhere
but the hospital

01:05:46.680 --> 01:05:50.753
would always take make-up,
perfume and jewellery.

01:05:50.919 --> 01:05:52.671
Put that over there.
That's inside stuff, huh?

01:05:52.840 --> 01:05:54.193
It's basic equipment.

01:05:54.359 --> 01:05:57.237
And you don't leave it behind in
your husband's drawer

01:05:57.399 --> 01:05:58.718

for that though.

01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:05.508
That Mrs Thorwald left at 6:00am
yesterday with her husband?

01:06:05.679 --> 01:06:06.668
According to those witnesses.

01:06:07.879 --> 01:06:09.949
Well, | have a pat rebuttal
for Mr Doyle.

01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:13.316
Couldn't have been Mrs Thorwald,
or | don't know women.

01:06:13.679 --> 01:06:18.275
- What about the witnesses?
- We'll agree they saw a woman,

01:06:18.439 --> 01:06:20.907
but she was not Mrs Thorwald.

01:06:21.080 --> 01:06:24.356

when we tell him.

01:06:36.119 --> 01:06:38.189

like much of a detective.

to write a song like that?

Well, he gets it from
the landlady once a month.

He's got his wife's jewellery hidden
in his clothes in the bedroom there.

01:11:22.760 --> 01:11:25.752
- You sure it belonged to his wife?
- It was in her favourite handbag.

01:11:25.919 --> 01:11:28.479
Mr Doyle, that can only lead
to one conclusion.

01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:29.629
Namely?

01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:33.190
That it was not Mrs Thorwald that
left with him yesterday morning.

01:11:33.400 --> 01:11:34.799
You figured that out, eh?

01:11:34.999 --> 01:11:37.308
It's simply that women
don't leave their jewellery behind

01:11:37.479 --> 01:11:39.674

01:11:39.839 --> 01:11:44.708

a half-hour after | left here.

01:13:10.999 --> 01:13:14.833

to tie up a trunk with heavy rope?

If the lock is broken, yes.

01:13:16.600 --> 01:13:19.717

does she take everything she owns?

Let's let the female psychology
department handle that one.

I'll tell you why
he didn't tell his landlord,

01:13:47.800 --> 01:13:48.949
because he was hiding something.

01:13:52.319 --> 01:13:54.196

- {Party Guests Chattering)
- (Door Opens, Footsteps)

01:19:07.479 --> 01:19:11.313
- What do you think?
- (Jeff) Well, uh...

01:19:11.800 --> 01:19:15.156
- | will rephrase the question.
- (Jeff) Thank you.

01:19:15.799 --> 01:19:17.517
Do you like it?

01:19:18.279 --> 01:19:20.156
- Yes, | like it.
- Well -

01:19:20.319 --> 01:19:22.514
(Woman Screams)

01:19:23.400 --> 01:19:26.312
{Woman Crying)

01:19:31.039 --> 01:19:33.030
What's the matter?

01:19:34.760 --> 01:19:36.955
- Man) Somebody's hurt?
- (Woman) It's the dog.

01:19:37.120 --> 01:19:39.588
Something's happened to the dog.

01:19:43.039 --> 01:19:44.995
(Man) Somebody fall out a window?

01:19:46.119 --> 01:19:47.711
| think it's a dog.

01:19:48.479 --> 01:19:52.711
It's dead. It's been strangled.
Its neck is broken.

01:19:54.360 --> 01:19:56.032
(Crying Loudly)
Which one of you did it?

01:19:56.199 --> 01:19:58.030
Which one of you killed my dog?

01:19:58.760 --> 01:20:02.389
You don't know the meaning
of the word 'neighbours'.

01:20:03.119 --> 01:20:04.472
Neighbours like each other,

01:20:04.959 --> 01:20:08.793
speak to each other,
care if anybody lives or dies!

01:20:09.559 --> 01:20:11.436
But none of you do!

01:20:15.319 --> 01:20:17.674
But | couldn't imagine
any of you being so low

01:20:17.839 --> 01:20:20.717
that you'd kill a helpless, friendly dog.

01:20:22.999 --> 01:20:27.550
The only thing in this whole
neighbourhood who liked anybody!

01:20:29.639 --> 01:20:32.073
(Sobbing)

01:20:34.599 --> 01:20:39.150
Did you kill him because he liked you?
Just because he liked you?

01:20:42.399 --> 01:20:44.594
Let's go inside.

01:20:47.919 --> 01:20:49.750
- Come on. Let's go back in.
- It's only a dog.

01:21:00.959 --> 01:21:02.028
(Sighs}

01:21:02.199 --> 01:21:04.155
You know, for a minute,
that Tom Doyle almost had me

01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:06.116
convinced | was wrong.

01:21:06.199 --> 01:21:07.871
- But you're not?
- Look.

01:21:08.039 --> 01:21:12.794
In the courtyard, only one person
didn't come to the window. Look.

01:21:18.639 --> 01:21:22.393
Why would Thorwald
want to kill a little dog?

01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:25.796
Because it knew too much?

01:21:33.359 --> 01:21:35.190
You think this is worth
waiting all day to see?

01:21:36.720 --> 01:21:37.914
(Lisa) Is he cleaning house?

01:21:38.080 --> 01:21:40.355
He's washing down the bathroom walls.

01:21:40.999 --> 01:21:43.718
Hm, must have splattered a lot.

01:21:45.400 --> 01:21:47.709
Well, why not?
That's what we're all thinking.

01:21:47.880 --> 01:21:50.838
He killed her in there,
he has to clean up those stains.

01:21:50.999 --> 01:21:53.149
Oh, Stella, your choice of words.

01:21:53.319 --> 01:21:57.790
(Stella) Nobody ever invented
a polite word for a killing yet.

01:21:59.599 --> 01:22:04.309
Lisa, back there on that shelf,
there's a little yellow box, you see it?

01:22:04.479 --> 01:22:06.310
- Top one?
- Right on top, yeah.

01:22:06.479 --> 01:22:08.629
And bring me the viewer there.

01:22:10.599 --> 01:22:14.387
| just got a...
These are about two weeks old.

01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:18.950
| hope | took something else
besides leg art. Now which one...

01:22:19.119 --> 01:22:21.314
What are you looking for?

01:22:21.880 --> 01:22:24.792
There's something, and if I'm right,
| think I've solved a murder.

01:22:24.959 --> 01:22:26.950
- Mrs Thorwald?
- No.

01:22:27.880 --> 01:22:29.677
No, the dog.

01:22:31.119 --> 01:22:35.317
Uh-huh. | think | know
why Thorwald killed that dog.

01:22:35.479 --> 01:22:38.198
Here, now you take a look.
Tell me what you see.

01:22:38.799 --> 01:22:40.551
Now take it down.

01:22:40.719 --> 01:22:42.437
Now look again.

01:22:42.599 --> 01:22:44.396
Now take it down. You see?

01:22:46.679 --> 01:22:47.828
It's just a picture of the backyard -

01:22:47.999 --> 01:22:52.311
But with one important change.
One important change.

01:22:52.479 --> 01:22:56.313
Those flowers
in Thorwald's pet flower bed.

01:22:56.479 --> 01:22:58.549
You mean where the dog
was sniffing around?

01:22:58.720 --> 01:23:02.030
Where the dog was digging.
Now look at those flowers.

01:23:02.200 --> 01:23:06.079
Look, those two yellow zinnias
on this end

01:23:06.239 --> 01:23:07.718
aren't as tall as they were.

01:23:07.880 --> 01:23:10.633
Since when do flowers
grow shorter in two weeks?

01:23:11.119 --> 01:23:14.589
- There's something buried there.
- Mrs Thorwald.

01:23:14.760 --> 01:23:17.832
You haven't spent much time
around cemeteries, have you?

01:23:17.999 --> 01:23:20.718
Mr Thorwald could scarcely
put his wife's body

01:23:17.999 --> 01:23:20.991
in a plot of ground
about one foot square.

01:23:24.039 --> 01:23:26.553
Unless, of course,
he put her in standing on end,

01:23:26.720 --> 01:23:29.234
and then he wouldn't need
a knife and saw.

01:23:29.399 --> 01:23:32.835
No, my idea is she's
scattered all over town.

01:23:32.999 --> 01:23:35.308
- Leg in the East River -
- Oh, Stella, please!

01:23:35.479 --> 01:23:36.958
No, no, no. There's something in there.

01:23:37.120 --> 01:23:39.156
Those flowers have been
taken out and put back in.

01:23:39.320 --> 01:23:40.992
- Maybe it's the knife and saw.
- Yeah -

01:23:41.159 --> 01:23:43.309
- Call Lieutenant Doyle.
- No, let's wait.

01:23:43.479 --> 01:23:46.869
Let's wait till it gets a little darker,
and I'll go over there and dig them up.

01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:51.510
You'll go? You won't dig anything up
and get your neck broken.

01:23:51.680 --> 01:23:53.557
No, no, we've...

01:23:53.719 --> 01:23:56.756
We're not gonna call Doyle until
| can produce Mrs Thorwald's body.

01:23:56.920 --> 01:23:59.559
What we've got to do is find a way
to get into that apartment.

01:23:59.720 --> 01:24:01.039
(Softly) He's packing.

01:24:02.039 --> 01:24:03.074
(Jeff) Uh-oh.

01:24:03.479 --> 01:24:05.834
Here, get me a pencil.

01:24:06.559 --> 01:24:09.676
Stella, get me some note paper.
It's up here someplace.

01:24:09.839 --> 01:24:11.158
There it is.

01:25:25.039 --> 01:25:27.394
(Jeff) You did it Thorwald. You did it.

01:25:31.239 --> 01:25:32.877
- Look out, Lisa. He's coming.
- You never should have let her do it.

01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:34.631
- If he ever -
- Look. Look. Look.

01:25:53.199 --> 01:25:56.032
(Sighs} Thank heaven that's over.

01:26:00.240 --> 01:26:02.470
- Alright if | have a drink?
- Sure, go ahead.

01:26:11.200 --> 01:26:14.715
There's no doubt about it. He's leaving.
It's just a question of when.

01:26:14.879 --> 01:26:18.394
Mind if | use that portable keyhole?

01:26:18.559 --> 01:26:21.915
Go ahead, just as long as you tell me
what you're looking at.

01:26:28.199 --> 01:26:30.315
- (Stella) I wonder...
- (Jeff) Wonder what?

01:26:30.479 --> 01:26:32.674
Miss Lonelyhearts just laid out
something that looks like

01:26:32.840 --> 01:26:34.717
rhodium tri-eckonal capsules.

01:26:34.879 --> 01:26:37.632
- (Jeff) You can tell from here?
- (Stella) I've handled enough of those

01:26:37.800 --> 01:26:40.030
to put everybody in Hackensack
to sleep for the winter.

01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:43.869
- Does she have enough of them to -
- To make her rest easier -

01:26:44.039 --> 01:26:45.950
- {Door opens)
- Wasn't that close?

01:26:46.760 --> 01:26:49.354
What was his reaction
when he looked at the note?

01:26:49.960 --> 01:26:51.916
(Stella) It wasn't the kind
of expression that would get him

01:26:52.079 --> 01:26:53.558
a quick loan at the bank.

01:26:53.719 --> 01:26:56.438
(Softly) Jeff, the handbag!

01:27:19.999 --> 01:27:22.115
Suppose Mrs Thorwald's wedding ring

01:27:22.280 --> 01:27:24.874
is among the jewellery
he has in that handbag?

01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:27.633
Now, during the phone conversation
he held up three rings:

01:27:27.800 --> 01:27:30.792
one with a diamond,
one with a big stone of some sort,

01:27:30.959 --> 01:27:32.950
and then just a plain gold band.

01:27:33.119 --> 01:27:36.794
The last thing she would leave behind
would be her wedding ring.

01:27:36.959 --> 01:27:39.029
Stella,
do you ever leave yours at home?

01:27:39.200 --> 01:27:44.194
The only way anybody could get that
ring would be to chop off my finger.

01:27:46.159 --> 01:27:49.117
Let's go down and find out
what's buried in the garden.

01:27:49.280 --> 01:27:53.637
Why not? I've always wanted
to meet Mrs Thorwald.

01:27:53.799 --> 01:27:55.312
- What are you two talking about -
- You got a shovel?

01:27:55.479 --> 01:27:56.628
Of course | don't have a shovel.

01:27:56.799 --> 01:28:00.314
- There's probably one in the basement.
- If you're squeamish, just don't look.

01:28:00.479 --> 01:28:01.468
Squeamish? I'm not squeamish.

01:28:01.640 --> 01:28:05.076
| just don't want you two
to end up like that dog.

01:28:05.239 --> 01:28:08.390
Oh, you know, Miss Fremont,
he might just have something there.

01:28:08.559 --> 01:28:10.231
Just hold on. Here, take this.

01:28:10.399 --> 01:28:12.674
No sense taking any chances
in this thing.

01:28:12.840 --> 01:28:15.274
Here, give me the phone book.

01:28:16.039 --> 01:28:17.791
What for?

01:28:17.960 --> 01:28:19.791
Maybe | can
get him out of that apartment.

01:28:19.960 --> 01:28:21.313
We only need a few minutes.

01:28:21.479 --> 01:28:23.231
I'll see if | can get about 15 minutes.

01:28:23.400 --> 01:28:25.675
- How?
- (Softly) Thorwald.

01:28:26.799 --> 01:28:28.915
Thorwald... Thorwald.

01:28:30.999 --> 01:28:34.150
Chelsea 2-7099.

01:28:35.240 --> 01:28:36.275
2-7099

01:28:36.440 --> 01:28:40.035
We scared him once,
maybe we can scare him again.

01:28:40.199 --> 01:28:42.952
| guess I'm using that word
'‘'we' a little freely.

01:28:43.119 --> 01:28:44.552
You're taking all the chances.

01:28:45.280 --> 01:28:48.238
- (Lisa) Shall we vote him in, Stella?
- (Stella) Unanimously.

01:28:48.399 --> 01:28:51.232
(Softly) 2-7099. Look out.

01:28:53.639 --> 01:28:55.550
(Softly) Chelsea.

Go on, pick it up, Thorwald.

01:29:18.440 --> 01:29:20.908
Go on, you're curious.

01:29:21.079 --> 01:29:23.752
You wonder if it's your girlfriend
calling, the one you killed for.

01:29:24.240 --> 01:29:26.549
Go on, pick it up.

01:29:29.759 --> 01:29:33.513
- (Thorwald) Hello?”
- Did you get my note?

01:29:35.639 --> 01:29:37.470
Well, did you get it, Thorwald?

01:29:37.640 --> 01:29:38.959
(Thorwald) "Who are you?"

01:29:39.120 --> 01:29:40.951
(Jeff) I'll give you a chance to find out.

01:29:41.119 --> 01:29:43.508
(Jeff) Meet me
in the bar at the Albert Hotel

01:29:43.679 --> 01:29:45.635
Do it right away.

01:29:45.800 --> 01:29:48.837
- (Thorwald) "Why should 1?”
- A little business meeting...

01:29:48.999 --> 01:29:51.911
to settle the estate of your late wife.

01:29:52.679 --> 01:29:55.716
{Thorwald)
1... don't know what you mean.”

01:29:55.880 --> 01:29:57.711
Come on. Quit stalling, Thorwald,

01:29:57.880 --> 01:29:59.996
or I'll hang up and call the police.

01:30:00.160 --> 01:30:03.835
- {Thorwald) I only have $100.”
- That's a start.

01:30:04.399 --> 01:30:08.108
I'm at the Albert now.
I'll be looking for you.

01:30:26.440 --> 01:30:27.919
Come on, Stella, let's go.

01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:29.558
(Softly) One of you
keep an eye on this window.

01:30:29.719 --> 01:30:33.234
If | see him coming back,
I'll signal with a flashbulb.

Hello, this is L B Jefferies.
I'm a friend of Mr Doyle.

- Who's this?
- "This is a baby-sitter.”

01:32:12.039 --> 01:32:14.712
Oh, uh... when do you expect them in?

01:32:14.879 --> 01:32:19.111
"They went to dinner and
maybe a nightclub.”

01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:20.951
| see, hm.

01:32:21.119 --> 01:32:24.031
If he calls in, have him get
in touch with L B Jefferies?

01:32:24.720 --> 01:32:26.551
| might have quite a surprise for him.

01:32:26.720 --> 01:32:29.518
"Well, do we have
your number, Mr Jefferies?”

01:32:29.679 --> 01:32:33.513
- He has it. Good night.
- "Good night.”

about Miss Lonelyhearts.

01:33:23.479 --> 01:33:26.312
(Softly) Lisa, what are you... Don't...

01:33:31.039 --> 01:33:32.518
Don't...

Get out of there!

the second you see him come back.

01:35:09.439 --> 01:35:11.555
What... Lisa!

01:35:13.239 --> 01:35:14.354
Lisa!

01:35:25.559 --> 01:35:27.231
"Precinct Six, Sergeant Allgood.”

01:35:27.400 --> 01:35:32.030
Hello. Look, a man is assaulting
a woman at 125 West Ninth Street,

01:35:32.200 --> 01:35:34.270
second floor, at the rear.

01:35:34.799 --> 01:35:36.118
Make it fast!

01:35:34.799 --> 01:35:36.835
- (Allgood) "Your name?”
- (Stammering) L B Jefferies.

01:35:38.479 --> 01:35:41.312
- (Allgood) "Phone number?”
- (Jeff) Chelsea 2-5598

01:35:41.479 --> 01:35:42.468
(Allgood) "Two minutes.”

01:36:01.559 --> 01:36:02.878
(Lisa} The door was open.

01:36:03.039 --> 01:36:04.916
(Lisa Continues, Indistinct)

01:36:17.280 --> 01:36:18.599


01:36:24.199 --> 01:36:27.191
- (Lisa) | told you...
- (Softly) Oh, no!

01:36:27.960 --> 01:36:29.837
Let go of me! Jeff!

01:36:29.999 --> 01:36:32.911
- Oh, no! (Gasps)
- (Lisa) Jeff! Jeff!

01:36:33.079 --> 01:36:34.592
Jeff!

01:36:35.640 --> 01:36:37.710
Lisa!

01:36:37.879 --> 01:36:39.107
Stella, what do we do?

01:36:40.319 --> 01:36:43.868
- (Lisa) Jeff! Jeff!
- Here they come.

01:36:48.519 --> 01:36:50.510
(Ringing Doorbell}

01:37:21.280 --> 01:37:23.111
(Talking, Indistinct}

01:37:32.399 --> 01:37:34.310
(Stella) What's she trying to do?
Why doesn't she turn him in?

01:37:34.479 --> 01:37:37.630
- She's a smart girl.
- "Smart girl?" She'll be arrested.

01:37:37.799 --> 01:37:40.677
(Jeff)
It'll get her out of there, won't it?

01:37:42.559 --> 01:37:44.993
(Jeff) Look, the wedding ring!

01:37:49.999 --> 01:37:52.877
(Softly) Turn off the light! He's seen us!

01:38:02.119 --> 01:38:03.393
How long do you think he'll stay there?

01:38:03.559 --> 01:38:07.472
Unless he's dumber than | think,
he won't wait until his lease is up.

01:38:07.639 --> 01:38:09.630
Get my billfold out of the drawer
in the table there.

01:38:09.800 --> 01:38:12.394
- What do you need money for?
- I'm gonna bail Lisa out of jail.

01:38:12.559 --> 01:38:14.629
You could leave her there
till next Tuesday.

01:38:14.799 --> 01:38:17.108
Then you could sneak
safely away as planned.

01:38:17.280 --> 01:38:21.990
- Yeah, let's see, $127.
- How much do you need?

01:38:22.160 --> 01:38:25.550
Well, this is first offence burglary,
that's about $250.

01:38:25.719 --> 01:38:28.552
- Lisa's handbag.
- Yeah.

01:38:28.719 --> 01:38:30.835
- How much does she have?
- Fifty cents.

01:38:30.999 --> 01:38:34.514
- Here, take this.
- (Stella) I got $20 or so in my purse.

01:38:34.680 --> 01:38:35.669
(Jeff) What about the rest?

01:38:35.839 --> 01:38:38.194
When those cops see Lisa,
they'll even contribute.

01:38:38.719 --> 01:38:40.914
(Telephone Ringing)

01:38:43.599 --> 01:38:46.272
(Softly) Just a minute. Hurry up!

01:38:46.440 --> 01:38:49.159
- Jefferies.
- (Doyle) "What is it now?”

01:38:49.319 --> 01:38:52.117
Doyle, I've got something
really big for you.

01:38:52.279 --> 01:38:54.110
"Why did | have to return your call?”

01:38:54.280 --> 01:38:57.192
"Look! Don't louse up my night
with another mad killer -"

01:38:57.359 --> 01:39:01.910
Listen to me! Listen to me!
Lisa's in jail. She got arrested.

01:39:02.079 --> 01:39:03.797
- "Your Lisa?’
- My Lisa.

01:39:03.960 --> 01:39:07.475
Boy, you should have seen her.
She got into Thorwald's apartment,

01:39:07.639 --> 01:39:09.550
but then he came back
and the only way | could get her out,

01:39:09.720 --> 01:39:10.709
was call the police.

01:39:10.879 --> 01:39:11.948
- 1 told you -”
- | know you told me.

01:39:12.119 --> 01:39:15.111
She went in to get evidence,
and she came out with evidence.

01:39:15.279 --> 01:39:19.716
- ‘Like what?”
- Like Mrs Thorwald's wedding ring.

01:39:15.279 --> 01:39:19.272
If that woman was alive,
she'd be wearing that ring, right?

01:39:24.039 --> 01:39:26.553
- Hm. It's a possibility.”
- A ‘possibility’? It's a fact.

01:39:26.720 --> 01:39:28.312
He killed a dog last night

01:39:28.480 --> 01:39:31.233
because the dog was scratching around
in the garden. You know why?

01:39:31.400 --> 01:39:34.631
Because he had something buried
in that garden that the dog scented.

01:39:34.799 --> 01:39:35.788
"Like an old ham bone?’

01:39:35.959 --> 01:39:38.792
| don't know what pet names
Thorwald had for his wife,

01:39:38.960 --> 01:39:40.075
but I'll tell you this:

01:39:40.240 --> 01:39:43.471
All those trips at night
with that metal suitcase,

01:39:43.639 --> 01:39:44.867
he wasn't taking out his possessions,

01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:47.951
because his possessions
are still up in the apartment.

01:39:48.119 --> 01:39:50.189
‘Do you think perhaps
it was old ‘ham bone?"

01:39:50.359 --> 01:39:53.157
And I'll tell you something else.

01:39:53.320 --> 01:39:56.153
All the telephone calls
he made were long distance, alright?

01:39:56.320 --> 01:39:59.630
Now, if he called his wife long
distance on the day she left,

01:39:59.799 --> 01:40:01.915
after she arrived in Merritsville,

01:40:02.080 --> 01:40:05.152
why did she write a card to him
saying she arrived in Merritsville?

01:40:05.320 --> 01:40:07.038
Why did she do that?

01:40:07.800 --> 01:40:10.030
- Where'd they take Lisa?”
- Precinct six.

01:40:10.199 --> 01:40:11.598
| sent somebody over
with the bail money.

01:40:11.760 --> 01:40:13.671
‘Maybe you won't need it.
I'll run it down, Jeff.”

01:40:13.839 --> 01:40:17.468
Alright. Hurry up, will you?
This fellow knows he's being watched.

01:40:17.640 --> 01:40:19.471
He's not gonna wait around forever.
Hurry up.

01:40:19.639 --> 01:40:22.312
If that ring checks out,
we'll give him an escort. So long, Jeff.”

01:40:22.479 --> 01:40:24.868
- So long.

01:43:04.199 --> 01:43:05.791
What do you want from me?

01:43:09.759 --> 01:43:12.592
Your friend, the girl, could have
turned me in. Why didn't she?

01:43:15.159 --> 01:43:18.708
What is it you want, a lot of money?
| don't have any money.

01:43:22.560 --> 01:43:23.629
Say something.

01:43:25.439 --> 01:43:27.555
Say something! Tell me what you want!

01:43:31.199 --> 01:43:32.712
Can you get me that ring back?

01:43:34.479 --> 01:43:37.630
- No.
- (Thorwald) Tell her to bring it back.

01:43:37.799 --> 01:43:40.313
| can't. The police have it by now.

(Woman) What was that?

01:44:32.480 --> 01:44:35.040

I'm sorry, Jeff.
| got here as fast as | could.

01:45:11.959 --> 01:45:14.712
Don't let anybody touch him.
Get me a medical bag from upstairs.

01:45:14.879 --> 01:45:17.393
Lisa, sweetie, if anything
had happened to you -

01:45:17.559 --> 01:45:20.915
- I'm alright.
- Gee, I'm proud of you.

01:45:21.960 --> 01:45:23.951
You got enough
for a search warrant now?

01:45:24.200 --> 01:45:25.349
Oh, yeah, sure.

01:45:25.519 --> 01:45:27.237

- Yeah?

- Is he OK?
- He's alive.

01:45:29.600 --> 01:45:33.957
Thorwald's ready to take us
on a tour of the East River.

01:45:37.999 --> 01:45:39.591
Did he say what was buried
in the flower bed?

01:45:40.199 --> 01:45:44.715
Yeah. He said the dog got
too inquisitive, so he dug it up.

01:45:44.879 --> 01:45:47.393
It's in a hat box over in his apartment.

01:45:47.559 --> 01:45:48.708
- Want to look?
- (Stella) No, thanks.

01:45:48.879 --> 01:45:51.154
| don't want any part of her.

01:45:57.399 --> 01:45:59.788
I hope it's gonna be a hit.
This is the first release.

01:45:59.959 --> 01:46:01.870
I'd love to hear it.

in the icebox to eat?
