Good evening, Mr. 86 00:04:18.490 --> 00:04:19.709 Baptist. How do you do, Mrs. 87 00:04:19.730 --> 00:04:22.490 Phillips? Won't you come in? Thank you. 88 00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:24.879 I'm sorry Mr. 89 00:04:24.889 --> 00:04:25.860 Phillips isn't here. 90 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.069 Large night, you know. It's been his one night a 91 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.649 week with the boys for the last 35 years. 92 00:04:30.779 --> 00:04:31.660 Oh, I see. 93 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.160 Well, what did you want to see me about, Mrs. Phillips? 94 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.100 Mr. Blackie, I understand you're suspected of taking a string 95 00:04:39.139 --> 00:04:42.180 of pearls from the Gordon jewelry shop. I heard Inspector 96 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:43.399 Faraday tell Mr. Gordon. 97 00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:44.139 That's right. 98 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.360 He thinks I took them, and I think you did. 99 00:04:47.379 --> 00:04:47.439 Oh. 100 00:04:48.980 --> 00:04:51.339 You see, I saw you put those pearls in your handbag. 101 00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:53.339 You saw me? 102 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.259 Uh-huh. Oh, Mr. 103 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.519 Blackie, please. Please don't say anything to anybody about this. 104 00:04:58.740 --> 00:05:00.889 Please. Well, I'm afraid I'll have to, Mrs. Phillips, if 105 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:02.170 the police get too annoyed. 106 00:05:02.189 --> 00:05:04.990 I'm sorry I've implicated you. It's been on my mind 107 00:05:05.009 --> 00:05:06.550 all evening. That's why I phoned you. 108 00:05:06.589 --> 00:05:06.990 Now, look. 109 00:05:07.850 --> 00:05:10.110 Look, suppose you just put those pearls back in the morning, 110 00:05:10.129 --> 00:05:12.350 and then there won't be any trouble. Now, how's that? 111 00:05:12.610 --> 00:05:13.470 But I can't do that. 112 00:05:14.269 --> 00:05:17.329 I haven't got them. Did you sell them? You know, 113 00:05:17.350 --> 00:05:18.889 they could be traced to you if you did. 114 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.519 I didn't sell them. Oh, please. I can't tell you 115 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.509 anything about them. I'm in terrible trouble.

116 00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:29.379 Well, why not let me help you, Mrs. 117 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:29.680 Phillips? 118 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:30.620 Nobody can help me. 119 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.000 It's something that happened years ago. But I don't dare 120 00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:35.680 tell you about it. 121 00:05:36.660 --> 00:05:37.410 Don't dare, huh? 122 00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:37.480 No. 123 00:05:38.339 --> 00:05:41.699 Sounds as if somebody was blackmailing you. Does your husband know? 124 00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:42.000 No. 125 00:05:42.769 --> 00:05:44.149 No, he must. 126 00:05:44.170 --> 00:05:44.870 Must never know. 127 00:05:45.290 --> 00:05:47.829 Good God. Well, of course you know your blackmailer won't 128 00:05:47.850 --> 00:05:51.149 be satisfied with just the pearls, Mrs. Phillips. Next, he'll 129 00:05:51.189 --> 00:05:53.689 want something else. You'll never be rid of him unless 130 00:05:53.730 --> 00:05:54.269 he stops. 131 00:05:55.329 --> 00:05:57.860 I'm... afraid to tell you anything, Mr. 132 00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.899 Blackie. But you're right. 133 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.100 He isn't satisfied with just the pearls. He told me 134 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.910 when I gave them to him. Uh-huh. 135 00:06:06.290 --> 00:06:06.670 I see. 136 00:06:07.009 --> 00:06:09.689 He doesn't waste much time, does he? What is it 137 00:06:09.709 --> 00:06:12.949 he wants now, Mrs. Phillips? Come on, please tell me. 138 00:06:13.730 --> 00:06:14.189 A ruby. 139 00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:17.040 A 20-carat ruby we have installed. 140 00:06:17.069 --> 00:06:17.540 I see. 141 00:06:18.220 --> 00:06:20.199 And what would happen if he didn't get the ruby? 142 00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:23.740 Something terrible. But I won't let it happen. 143 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:28.040 It mustn't happen. I'll get him what he wants. Well, 144 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.019 perhaps what he wants won't be there for you to 145 00:06:30.060 --> 00:06:30.699 take tomorrow. 146 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.259 You mean you'll take it first? 147 00:06:32.300 --> 00:06:32.680 Well. 148 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:33.819 Oh, you couldn't. 149 00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:36.540 You mustn't for your own sake as well as mine. 150 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:37.259 For my sake? 151 00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:37.660 Yes. 152 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.980 This morning, Inspector Faraday told Mr. Gordon that he was 153 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.680 going to lay a trap for you tomorrow when you 154 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.350 come for your watch. They're going to put some jewels 155 00:06:46.379 --> 00:06:48.689 on the counter where you can get them easily, and 156 00:06:48.709 --> 00:06:50.569 then they're going to arrest you as you leave the store. 157 00:06:50.790 --> 00:06:52.930 Oh, they are, are they? That's very interesting. 158 00:06:53.709 --> 00:06:55.490 You won't take that ruby now, will you, Mr. 159 00:06:55.509 --> 00:06:55.829 Blackie? 160 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.120 I've got

to get it to keep someone from talking. 161 00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:01.540 Well, I don't know, Mrs. 162 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:02.399 Phillips. 163 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.939 I've got an idea that from now on, I'm going 164 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:12.100 to do all your talking. Matthew, all your tops out 165 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:12.480 of sight? 166 00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:12.720 Yes, sir. 167 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:25.939 Hey, there's Blackie's car now, just coming along the street. 168 00:07:26.019 --> 00:07:26.459 You see it? 169 00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:31.000 Yeah, almost opposite the store. She's driving pretty slow. Come on, Matthew. 170 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:38.110 Let's get out of sight. Okay. Blackie, you're crazy. Here 171 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.410 we were yesterday, minding our own business. No pearls, no rubies, 172 00:07:42.490 --> 00:07:45.410 no trouble. Now where are we? Right in front of 173 00:07:45.470 --> 00:07:49.029 Gordon's jewelry store. And we're about to stop, Shorty. And 174 00:07:49.050 --> 00:07:52.350 we still have no pearls, no rubies, but plenty of trouble. Huh. 175 00:07:53.029 --> 00:07:54.850 And I'm afraid we're going to have more. You mean 176 00:07:54.870 --> 00:07:57.050 you're going across the street to Gordon's and lift that 177 00:07:57.089 --> 00:07:58.649 ruby like you said? Certainly. 178 00:07:59.230 --> 00:07:59.470 Mrs. 179 00:07:59.490 --> 00:08:01.089 Phillips is in trouble, and I'm going to help her. 180 00:08:01.970 --> 00:08:04.600 I'd like to meet whoever's blackmailing that lovely old lady, Shorty. 181 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.720 And that ruby is going to be my introduction. Okay, okay. 182 00:08:08.779 --> 00:08:10.610 So you meet him, so you take care of him. 183 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.740 That old lady still stole the pearls. That's still a crime. 184 00:08:13.860 --> 00:08:15.680 I'll get those pearls back. And give her the ruby 185 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.689 to put back, too. Then nobody will be hurt. Except 186 00:08:18.769 --> 00:08:23.180 our blackmailing friend. What about the trap Faraday set for you? That? Well, 187 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.379 that makes it more interesting, Shorty. You see this cigar? Yeah, yeah, 188 00:08:27.420 --> 00:08:27.949 sure I see it. 189 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:28.300 Well, look. 190 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.220 The center is hollowed out. That's why you're here. You 191 00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:34.559 brought me along because the center of the cigar has 192 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:35.240 a hole in it? 193 00:08:35.259 --> 00:08:35.759 That's right. 194 00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:37.980 Now, when I come out of the store, I'll be 195 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.240 smoking this cigar. And when Faraday grabs me, I'm going 196 00:08:40.259 --> 00:08:43.500 to be so surprised, I'm going to drop it. And 197 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.899 you're going to pick it up. Me, boss? I'm going 198 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.139 to pick up a butt just like the old days? 199 00:08:48.179 --> 00:08:51.309 That's right, Shorty. And you're going to take very good 200 00:08:51.370 --> 00:08:54.330 care of it. Because in that hole in the cigar, 201 00:08:54.370 --> 00:08:56.090 there's going to be a 20-carat ruby. 202 00:08:56.909 --> 00:08:57.250 So long. 203 00:08:57.590 --> 00:08:58.889 Okay, Blackie. Good luck. 204 00:08:58.909 --> 00:08:59.190 Thanks. 205 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.720 Well, good morning. Hello there, Mr. Gordon. Good morning, Mr. Blackie. Well, 206 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.379 I'm busy right now with this young lady. 207 00:09:11.539 --> 00:09:12.230 Oh, Mrs. 208 00:09:12.250 --> 00:09:15.210 Phillips has your watch ready for you. Good morning, Mrs. Phillips. 209 00:09:15.470 --> 00:09:17.629 Beautiful morning, isn't it? You have my watch? 210 00:09:17.950 --> 00:09:20.789 Why, yes. 211 00:09:20.870 --> 00:09:24.669 Oh, it's a cigar. I'm sorry, Mrs. Phillips. Oh, my, 212 00:09:24.730 --> 00:09:25.690 what lovely rubies. 213 00:09:25.789 --> 00:09:26.870 Here's your watch, Mr. 214 00:09:26.909 --> 00:09:27.370 Blackie. 215 00:09:27.789 --> 00:09:32.049 That will be $ 5. Please don't touch the rubies. 216 00:09:32.049 --> 00:09:36.649 $ 5, huh? Well, thank you very much. Here you are. Goodbye, Mrs. Phillips. Mr. 217 00:09:36.669 --> 00:09:37.649 Blackie, you shouldn't have. 218 00:09:37.669 --> 00:09:46.500 Goodbye, Mr. Gordon. I'll take another step, Blackie. Oh, Inspector Barrett. What? 219 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:46.820 You. 220 00:09:47.179 --> 00:09:49.919 You sobbled me. Yeah, I see. Now get back in 221 00:09:49.940 --> 00:09:51.919 that store and keep your hands in the air. 222 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:53.289 Matthews? Yeah, Inspector? 223 00:09:53.289 --> 00:09:55.899 Now get the boys on all sides of Mr. Boston, Blackie. 224 00:09:55.899 --> 00:09:58.730 We're going back in the store and search him. See, 225 00:09:58.769 --> 00:10:00.009 the ruby's missing. Yeah, no, no. 226 00:10:00.009 --> 00:10:00.529 He took the ruby. 227 00:10:00.549 --> 00:10:01.600 Take it easy, take it easy, Mr. 228 00:10:01.730 --> 00:10:01.929 Gordon. 229 00:10:01.950 --> 00:10:02.690 Of course he took it. 230 00:10:02.750 --> 00:10:04.529 I told you he would, didn't I? Yes, but when 231 00:10:04.549 --> 00:10:04.889 will I. 232 00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:05.389 Get it back? 233 00:10:05.549 --> 00:10:07.600 Yes, as soon as we search Blackie. That's what we're 234 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.179 going to do in the back room right now, Mr. Gordon. 235 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:10.740 All right, all right, Inspector. 236 00:10:10.779 --> 00:10:11.019 Good. 237 00:10:11.059 --> 00:10:13.000 Well, it's nice of you, Inspector, to have provided a 238 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.879 police escort back into the store. Don't mention it, Blackie. 239 00:10:16.330 --> 00:10:18.210 You make bad bargains. What do you mean? You've only 240 00:10:18.250 --> 00:10:20.330 had that ruby 30 seconds, and it's going to cost 241

00:10:20.370 --> 00:10:22.929 you 30 years. Now, let's get back to the other 242 00:10:22.950 --> 00:10:25.809 room and start this search. By the way, Inspector, don't 243 00:10:25.830 --> 00:10:36.100 forget to look in my pocket. Well, what did you 244 00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:38.539 do with that ruby, Blackie? We searched you from head 245 00:10:38.580 --> 00:10:40.759 to foot, and we can't find it. We must have it. 246 00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:43.250 I saw it on the tray just a minute before 247 00:10:43.269 --> 00:10:45.669 he came in. And after he left, it was gone. 248 00:10:45.710 --> 00:10:46.470 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 249 00:10:46.509 --> 00:10:48.610 If you arrested him before he could move from the door, 250 00:10:48.809 --> 00:10:51.830 he must still have it. Well, you know, maybe I 251 00:10:51.929 --> 00:10:57.190 swallowed it. Very clever, Blackie. Yeah, very clever. I've got 252 00:10:57.230 --> 00:10:58.899 an idea. Maybe you did swallow it. 253 00:10:59.389 --> 00:10:59.950 Are you kidding? 254 00:11:00.009 --> 00:11:02.049 Well, we'll soon find out. I'm going to see what 255 00:11:02.070 --> 00:11:03.750 you look like behind a fluoroscope. 256 00:11:03.870 --> 00:11:04.250 I see. 257 00:11:04.649 --> 00:11:13.570 You want to get the inside story. Well, it seems 258 00:11:13.649 --> 00:11:16.090 as though Boston Blackie's plan to steal the ruby might 259 00:11:16.129 --> 00:11:19.049 have suffered disaster. However, we'll see about that in a moment. 260 00:11:19.549 --> 00:11:23.039 And now back to Chester Morris as Boston Blackie. In 261 00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:25.539 order to deal with the unknown man who is threatening 262 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:29.279 aged Mrs. Mary Phillips, Boston Blackie has stolen a 20-carat 263 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.659 ruby from the Gordon jewelry shop and hidden it in 264 00:11:31.730 --> 00:11:35.309 a cigar. Inspector Faraday has been unable to find the ruby, 265 00:11:35.330 --> 00:11:37.850 but now has an idea that Blackie has swallowed it. 266 00:11:38.950 --> 00:11:41.450 I didn't swallow the ruby, Inspector. I'm strictly on a 267 00:11:41.490 --> 00:11:43.769 milk diet. You'll see, Blackie, as soon as you stand 268 00:11:43.789 --> 00:11:45.450 in back of that machine. Faraday, the fact that the 269 00:11:45.490 --> 00:11:48.549 ruby was 20 carats is throwing you a little. You see, 270 00:11:48.570 --> 00:11:51.750 a ruby is completely indigestible, believe me. Very funny. Now 271 00:11:51.789 --> 00:11:53.389 get back of that machine, Blackie. All right, all right. 272 00:11:53.409 --> 00:11:56.159 But supposing the ruby doesn't show up? Am I excused 273 00:11:56.179 --> 00:11:58.080 for the rest of the day, teacher? Get back of 274 00:11:58.100 --> 00:12:05.419 that burrito. All right, all right. Now, how's this? Yeah. 275 00:12:05.659 --> 00:12:08.100 Now just stand there. All right. Turn on the machine, Doc. 276 00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:12.879 All right. How do I look, Inspector? 277 00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:13.919 It's an improvement. 278 00:12:13.970 --> 00:12:16.929 I can't... How does this work, Doc? Any object such 279 00:12:16.990 --> 00:12:18.690 as a ruby will show up clearly if he has 280 00:12:18.710 --> 00:12:19.830 swallowed it. 281 00:12:19.889 --> 00:12:20.409 See anything? 282 00:12:20.429 --> 00:12:22.409 Now don't tell me you see a strange man and 283 00:12:22.450 --> 00:12:25.110 I'm going on a date. Me neither. Okay, turn it off. 284 00:12:26.169 --> 00:12:29.500 Come on out, Blackie. All right, put your shirt on 285 00:12:29.549 --> 00:12:31.679 and then beat it. I can't hold you. Oh, bless you. 286 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.720 Bless you, Faraday. Bless you. You know, it takes a 287 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.159 big man to know when he's licked. I'm not licked yet. 288 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:47.639 That's what I mean. Good day, gentlemen. Just a minute. 289 00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:50.259 Did you spread the rumor that I got away with 290 00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:50.960 a ruby, Shorty? 291 00:12:51.019 --> 00:12:51.480 Yeah, yeah. 292 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.539 I spread the story all over town, just like you said, boss. 293 00:12:53.850 --> 00:12:55.899 Then if I'm lucky, this is the fish that swallowed 294 00:12:55.919 --> 00:13:02.259 the bait. Coming. Well, how do you do? 295 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:03.639 Orson Blackie? 296 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.200 Yes, that's right. My name is Tom Elliott. 297 00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:06.480 Thanks. 298 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.659 All right if I sit down? Certainly. Make yourself at home. 299 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.700 You can give me the ruby you took from the 300 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.539 Gordon jewelry shop this morning. 301 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:16.590 I know you've got it. 302 00:13:17.190 --> 00:13:19.250 Oh, you do, huh? Well, why should I give it 303 00:13:19.289 --> 00:13:19.509 to you? 304 00:13:19.789 --> 00:13:21.509 I believe you're going to want to give it to me. 305 00:13:22.350 --> 00:13:24.009 And just why am I going to want to give 306 00:13:24.029 --> 00:13:24.769 you the ruby, Mr. 307 00:13:24.830 --> 00:13:27.149 Elliott? You know Mrs. Noah? Ever meet her husband? 308 00:13:27.549 --> 00:13:28.169 Wonderful man. 309 00:13:29.230 --> 00:13:31.610 They're crazy about each other. Have been for 35 years. 310 00:13:32.289 --> 00:13:34.370 Well, what about it? Rather interesting story. 311 00:13:34.409 --> 00:13:37.090 You see, before he married her, that's 35 years ago, 312 00:13:37.129 --> 00:13:38.169 he escaped from prison. 313 00:13:38.850 --> 00:13:41.250 Of course, she didn't know anything about it when she 314 00:13:41.309 --> 00:13:43.269 married him. When did she find out? 315 00:13:43.429 --> 00:13:44.350 When I told her. 316 00:13:44.870 --> 00:13:45.009 Oh. 317 00:13:45.090 --> 00:13:46.429 I had to tell her, you see. 318 00:13:47.269 --> 00:13:49.419 If I had come to him with this story, I'd 319 00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:52.559 have gotten

nothing out of him. He'd have committed suicide 320 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.580 and given himself up. 321 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:54.580 I see. So, uh. 322 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.269 So you want his wife because you went to his 323 00:13:57.309 --> 00:13:59.230 wife because you knew you'd do anything to protect her husband. 324 00:13:59.850 --> 00:14:01.750 Even steal to keep him from going back to jail. 325 00:14:01.789 --> 00:14:02.110 Is that right? 326 00:14:02.250 --> 00:14:03.070 Yeah, that's right. 327 00:14:03.389 --> 00:14:05.929 And her long and trustworthy service in the Gordon shop 328 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.080 completed the setup. Well, you know, that's just about the 329 00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:11.019 way I figured it. Only I didn't know the details. 330 00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:13.860 I told them to you for one reason. 331 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:14.139 Yes? 332 00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:16.740 If you don't give me the ruby, I intend to 333 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.490 turn John Phillips over to the police. 334 00:14:18.509 --> 00:14:20.769 Well, do I get it, Blackie? 335 00:14:20.789 --> 00:14:20.929 Yes. 336 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:23.019 You get it. Good. 337 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.710 And I don't want any interference from now on, either. 338 00:14:26.350 --> 00:14:30.690 Let's understand that, too. I understand. All right. Here's the stone. 339 00:14:31.690 --> 00:14:33.289 Now, get out of here before I forget that your 340 00:14:33.370 --> 00:14:34.309 scheme is foolproof. 341 00:14:34.490 --> 00:14:35.009 Goodbye, Mr. 342 00:14:35.029 --> 00:14:40.580 Blackie. What's up? Tell that man that just left here. 343 00:14:40.629 --> 00:14:40.820 Hi. 344 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.100 I'd like to know why a rat like that lives. 345 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:51.740 And I'd also like to know where. Mr. 346 00:14:51.750 --> 00:14:51.950 Black. 347 00:14:52.129 --> 00:14:54.409 Oh, hello, Mrs. Phillips. May I come in? 348 00:14:54.529 --> 00:14:55.289 Please do, Mr. 349 00:14:55.309 --> 00:14:55.970 Black. Thanks. 350 00:14:57.700 --> 00:14:59.100 The police didn't find the ruby? 351 00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:02.399 No, of course not. But your friend, Mr. Elliott, called 352 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:02.720 on me. 353 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:04.139 He told you? 354 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:05.179 Mm-hmm, everything. 355 00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:08.879 Now, look, Mrs. Phillips. I guess maybe I'm a sentimental 356 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.539 sort of a fella, but I believe anybody who's gone 357 00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:13.879 straight for 35 years is entitled to a break. 358 00:15:14.409 --> 00:15:16.210 Oh, it sounds so wonderful to hear you say that. 359 00:15:16.610 --> 00:15:18.429 Why, there's a story in the papers almost every week 360 00:15:18.470 --> 00:15:20.690 about some governor pardoning a man who gives himself up 361 00:15:20.750 --> 00:15:23.509 after years of going straight. Oh, providing he hadn't been 362 00:15:23.529 --> 00:15:24.809 convicted of a major crime. 363 00:15:25.049 --> 00:15:28.210 Well, you see, John had been gambling and signed. 364 00:15:28.029 --> 00:15:28.570 It at all. 365 00:15:29.049 --> 00:15:30.379 I investigated his case. 366 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.139 Of course, he doesn't know it. 367 00:15:32.179 --> 00:15:32.919 Well, he won't. 368 00:15:33.539 --> 00:15:36.080 Now, I think I have a plan that'll work. We 369 00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:38.500 have two things to do. Get back the pearls and 370 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:41.080 the ruby and prevent Tom Elliott from talking. The first 371 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.950 is easy. The second, well, we've got a slim chance. 372 00:15:45.509 --> 00:15:46.960 Is there anything you want me to do? 373 00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:47.759 Yes, definitely. 374 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.139 In half an hour, I want you to call Inspector 375 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.940 Faraday and tell him that you know a man who 376 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.700 escaped from jail 35 years ago. What? Now, please trust me, Mrs. 377 00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:55.980 Phillips. 378 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:57.840 It's the only way I know that we can stop Elliot. 379 00:15:58.139 --> 00:16:00.440 But I don't see how that will stop him. Oh, 380 00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:01.899 and I couldn't do that to John. 381 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.409 Well, don't you see you're doing it for John? Now, 382 00:16:04.450 --> 00:16:06.029 first of all, you ought to tell Faraday that the 383 00:16:06.049 --> 00:16:08.230 man who escaped from jail 35 years ago is a 384 00:16:08.250 --> 00:16:11.370 man named, oh, make up any name, say, Fred Mullins. 385 00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:14.610 Then act a little bewildered. Don't tell him who you 386 00:16:14.750 --> 00:16:17.029 are and just say you know Mullins is free, but 387 00:16:17.049 --> 00:16:18.110 you don't know where he is. 388 00:16:18.750 --> 00:16:19.429 Then what do I do? 389 00:16:19.690 --> 00:16:20.429 Then you're to hang up. 390 00:16:21.490 --> 00:16:24.549 I don't understand, but if you say so, I'll do it. 391 00:16:24.570 --> 00:16:25.370 Thank you, Mr. 392 00:16:25.409 --> 00:16:25.769 Blackie. 393 00:16:26.549 --> 00:16:29.830 And that thank you comes from my heart. I was 394 00:16:29.889 --> 00:16:31.570 afraid my world had come to an end. 395 00:16:32.169 --> 00:16:35.929 Oh, Mrs. Phillips, this is only the beginning. Oh, come on. 396 00:16:36.629 --> 00:16:53.159 Let me see you smile. Yeah, that's better. Bye. Hello? Shorty? Oh, hello, boss. Say, 397 00:16:53.200 --> 00:17:00.350 I got that guy's hideout page.

I want you to call Faraday. 401 00:17:04.710 --> 00:17:05.029 Yeah? 402 00:17:05.089 --> 00:17:06.869 This guy's your Alan B., who happens to be in 403 00:17:06.890 --> 00:17:09.490 the city. And who also happens

to have escaped from 404 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.720 prison 35 years ago. Who's this Albie, boss? Gee, I 405 00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:14.839 thought I knew him all. Oh, I just made it up. Oh. 406 00:17:14.940 --> 00:17:17.500 Play dumb, Shorty, and we'll have Mr. Faraday good and confused. 407 00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:20.509 Won't be the first time. Okay, Blackie, it's as good 408 00:17:20.549 --> 00:17:28.880 as done. Thanks. See you later. Inspector Faraday, I have 409 00:17:28.900 --> 00:17:31.990 some information. Yeah, who is it? Oh, that ain't important, 410 00:17:32.049 --> 00:17:33.269 but there's something that is. 411 00:17:33.289 --> 00:17:33.750 Huh? 412 00:17:33.869 --> 00:17:36.009 You know, I know a man who escaped from jail 413 00:17:36.009 --> 00:17:40.490 35 years ago, and his name is Edward Allenby. 414 00:17:40.650 --> 00:17:40.869 Yeah? 415 00:17:40.890 --> 00:17:43.470 There'd be a feather in your cap if you arrested him. Look, 416 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:45.660 I got enough feathers now to be an Indian chief. 417 00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:48.740 Where is this Allenby? I don't know. What jail did 418 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.440 he bust out of? I don't know that either. What 419 00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:59.160 is this, April Fool's Day? Goodbye. Fairly talking. 420 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:01.559 I just wanted to tell you, Inspector, that a man 421 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.259 named Fred Mullins escaped from jail 35 years ago. You 422 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.019 can find him if you hurry, but I don't know 423 00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:08.059 where you're to hurry to. 424 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:12.079 Goodbye. Hey, hey. Hey, wait a minute. What is this, 425 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:13.180 an epidemic at Crackfoot? 426 00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:13.980 Hello? 427 00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:22.839 Hello? You're hung up. Yeah, Faraday speaking. This is Blackie, Inspector. 428 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:23.279 Oh. 429 00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:25.299 I've got a tip for you. I know a man 430 00:18:25.339 --> 00:18:27.119 who escaped... If you're going to tell me about somebody 431 00:18:27.140 --> 00:18:28.299 who was supposed to have broken out of jail 35 432 00:18:28.299 --> 00:18:31.220 years ago, Blackie, I'll wring your neck. All right, Inspector. 433 00:18:31.259 --> 00:18:41.880 All right. Then I won't tell you. Goodbye. Six o'clock. 434 00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:52.150 Getting out, please. Thank you. Boston Blackie. Oh, no, you don't, Elliot. 435 00:18:52.890 --> 00:18:56.740 No closing doors in people's faces. It isn't polite. Do 436 00:18:56.779 --> 00:18:57.579 you mind if I come in? 437 00:18:58.400 --> 00:18:59.700 What do you want here? 438 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.200 Well, I want that ruby I loaned you. And the 439 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.059 pearls Mrs. Phillips gave you yesterday. 440 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:05.180 Oh, you do, eh? 441 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:05.900 Uh-huh. 442 00:19:06.619 --> 00:19:07.140 You see, Mrs. 443 00:19:07.160 -->

00:19:08.740 Phillips is going to put them back in the store 444 00:19:08.779 --> 00:19:11.759 tomorrow morning when Mr. Gordon can find them. You'll think 445 00:19:11.779 --> 00:19:12.779 they were just misplaced. 446 00:19:13.099 --> 00:19:14.769 Your memory isn't very good, Blackie. 447 00:19:15.670 --> 00:19:18.269 You weren't supposed to interfere anymore, remember? And I was 448 00:19:18.289 --> 00:19:21.650 supposed to forget about John Phillips cracking out of jail? Yes, yes, yes, 449 00:19:21.710 --> 00:19:24.630 I know. Only that doesn't matter now. Now, let's have 450 00:19:24.670 --> 00:19:27.460 those pearls and that ruby, Elliot. Sorry, Blackie, but they're. 451 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:28.119 Staying with me. 452 00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:31.880 And I'd advise you to stand still. Oh, a gun, huh? 453 00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:35.539 Pretty unoriginal. But I'd expect that from a small-time crook 454 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.640 that blackmails old women. This gun has killed two men, Blackie. 455 00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:39.119 What's up? 456 00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:42.269 With me on the trigger. And you know what they say. 457 00:19:42.390 --> 00:19:46.259 That's all things coming in three. The expression is all 458 00:19:46.339 --> 00:19:49.589 good things. Don't worry, this will be good. I'm going 459 00:19:49.630 --> 00:19:51.720 to leave too. until I need more money, then I'm 460 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.359 coming back and put a little pressure on Mrs. 461 00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:53.859 Phillips again. 462 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:56.500 I know a fence out west will pay a fortune 463 00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.519 for those pearls and that ruby. My bag is packed 464 00:19:59.539 --> 00:20:03.460 and I'm on my way. But I'm afraid I've got 465 00:20:03.500 --> 00:20:06.819 to kill you first. Well, you know, that. 38 is 466 00:20:06.859 --> 00:20:07.980 liable to make a lot of noise. 467 00:20:08.029 --> 00:20:10.450 Yes, but this silencer will make sure nobody hears it. 468 00:20:10.529 --> 00:20:10.930 I see. 469 00:20:10.990 --> 00:20:13.049 Hey, keep your hand out of your pocket. 470 00:20:13.150 --> 00:20:16.049 Oh, I haven't begun, Elliot. I just wanted to get 471 00:20:16.109 --> 00:20:20.299 my cigarette case. Okay? Yes, but it'll be the last 472 00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:22.799 cigarette you'll smoke. Well, at least this is one way 473 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:24.940 of breaking the habit. Will you have one? 474 00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:28.779 Sure. Hey, that's an expensive case. 475 00:20:28.819 --> 00:20:29.059 Yes. 476 00:20:29.630 --> 00:20:30.869 Now, take it with me when I go. 477 00:20:30.890 --> 00:20:33.430 I have a lovely gold inlay you might like also. Now, 478 00:20:33.470 --> 00:20:36.190 don't get too close. Just stand where you are and 479 00:20:36.210 --> 00:20:37.950 hold that cape out as far as you can. I 480 00:20:37.970 --> 00:20:38.450 can reach. 481 00:20:38.509 --> 00:20:39.049 Oh, Chris. 482 00:20:39.470 --> 00:20:43.710 You mean like this? Yes. Thoughtful of you, Blackie. I'll 483 00:20:43.769 --> 00:20:44.190 take this. 484 00:20:44.380 --> 00:20:44.559 Ow! 485 00:20:44.579 --> 00:20:46.400 Sucker. 486 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:46.980 Oh. 487 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.339 I don't know when I've enjoyed doing anything so much. 488 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:53.839 Those pretty little fingers of yours are going to hurt tomorrow, Elliot. 489 00:20:54.819 --> 00:20:57.700 So you killed two men, huh? Well, I can't wait 490 00:20:57.740 --> 00:21:00.609 to tell Faraday. Now, come on, hand over that jewelry, Rat. 491 00:21:00.970 --> 00:21:03.359 I'm in a hurry. I can't wait till I see 492 00:21:03.380 --> 00:21:05.539 the expression on a lovely little old lady's face. 493 00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:16.900 All right. 494 00:21:17.569 --> 00:21:19.930 Faraday, you've got me in jail, and I suppose you're 495 00:21:19.950 --> 00:21:23.230 sending my fingerprints out west. That's right, Elliot. Blackie finally 496 00:21:23.250 --> 00:21:25.329 got around to doing me a favor. You've got a 497 00:21:25.329 --> 00:21:27.970 little record in this city, too. You didn't tell Blackie that. 498 00:21:28.500 --> 00:21:29.839 I think we've got a priority on you. 499 00:21:29.859 --> 00:21:33.180 It doesn't matter where I go to jail. I just 500 00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:35.819 want to tell you this, Inspector. I've got a little 501 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:36.740 information for you. 502 00:21:36.819 --> 00:21:40.500 Oh, yes? Yes. I know a man who escaped from 503 00:21:40.619 --> 00:21:43.720 jail 35 years ago. You too? Look, Elliot, if I 504 00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:46.019 hear one more word out of anybody about some guy 505 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:47.599 who was supposed to have busted out of jail 35 506 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:57.990 years ago, I'll bust that guy in half! I've been 507 00:21:58.009 --> 00:22:00.150 for you, Blackie. On account of you've got a right 508 00:22:00.170 --> 00:22:00.430 to know. 509 00:22:00.490 --> 00:22:00.960 Oh, thanks. 510 00:22:01.460 --> 00:22:03.619 I sent this Elliot's fingerprints out west, and he's wanted 511 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:05.740 for two murders, just as you said. Uh-huh. And for 512 00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:06.839 one right here in this city, too. 513 00:22:07.140 --> 00:22:08.519 Oh, thanks for the tip, Blackie. 514 00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:10.420 How did you manage to catch up with him? 515 00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:12.660 Oh, a little old lady told me. Huh? 516 00:22:12.869 --> 00:22:15.049 Yeah, so I put two and two together to coin 517 00:22:15.089 --> 00:22:17.730 a phrase, and I said to myself, Dear old Faraday, 518 00:22:17.769 --> 00:22:20.529 he's been so nice to me lately. What better way 519 00:22:20.569 --> 00:22:22.690 of showing my appreciation than to make him a present 520 00:22:22.710 --> 00:22:25.450 of a murderer? Thanks, Draggy. Oh, not at all, old man. 521 00:22:25.470 --> 00:22:27.839 By the way, now that you've looked inside my heart, 522 00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:30.500 certainly my stomach, did you ever recover the pearls and 523 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:30.900 the rubies? 524 00:22:31.299 --> 00:22:32.099 Oh, yeah. 525 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:35.380 Didn't you hear what happened? No. Well, Gordon called to 526 00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:37.480 tell me that they were right in the shop all 527 00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:37.819 the time. 528 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:39.779 No. Yeah. 529 00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:40.440 Can you beat that? 530 00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:41.319 Old Mrs. 531 00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:44.950 Phillips, who works there, found them in another drawer. Well, well, well, well, well. 532 00:22:45.529 --> 00:22:46.809 And they lived happily ever after. 533 00:22:46.849 --> 00:22:47.289 What'd you say? 534 00:22:47.390 --> 00:22:50.220 Oh, nothing, nothing. I... I just said they lived happily 535 00:22:50.259 --> 00:23:01.789 ever after.
