14
00:01:22.030 --> 00:01:24.269

brilliant and talented actor Vincent Price as.
20

The Saint.
21
00:02:28.590 --> 00:02:29.129
Taxi!
22
00:02:29.650 --> 00:02:30.229
Taxi!
23
00:02:30.490 --> 00:02:32.469
Personally, lady, the name is Louie, but.
24
00:02:32.889 --> 00:02:33.750
Please, hurry.
25
00:02:34.669 --> 00:02:35.810
Okay, but where to?
26
00:02:36.189 --> 00:02:36.849
I don't care.
27
00:02:37.150 --> 00:02:41.169
You don't... I don't like to mention this, lady, but
28
00:02:41.189 --> 00:02:42.530
I think you mislaid your groom.
29
00:02:42.729 --> 00:02:42.990
What?
30
00:02:43.270 --> 00:02:45.449
Of course, a girl getting married, she's kind of excited.
31
00:02:45.490 --> 00:02:47.909
Maybe she forgets a little something here and there. But, lady,
32
00:02:48.469 --> 00:02:49.330
not your husband.
33
00:02:49.590 --> 00:02:50.310
I'm not married.
34
00:02:51.009 --> 00:02:53.000
Look, you're all dressed up like your bride. You come
35
00:02:53.020 --> 00:02:54.939
running out of that church. There was having a wedding there.
36
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.900
They thought they were, but... Oh, I want Jimmy.
37
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.659
Please, lady, don't cry.
38
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:02.659
If I had Jimmy, I'd.
39
00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:04.319
Give him to you. Who's Jimmy?
40
00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:06.780
I

love him, and we were going to get married,
41
00:03:06.819 --> 00:03:09.120
and I went to the church, and everybody was there except.
42
00:03:10.259 --> 00:03:11.219
Except... Jimmy.
43
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:12.000
Yes.
44
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:12.560
Uh-huh.
45
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.360
I called everywhere. I know something terrible must have happened
46
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:16.740
to him.
47
00:03:16.979 --> 00:03:17.340
Uh-huh.
48
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:17.800
Uh-huh.
49
00:03:19.060 --> 00:03:21.250
For a girl in your position, you know what I
50
00:03:21.289 --> 00:03:21.909
think you need?
51
00:03:22.250 --> 00:03:22.590
What?
52
00:03:23.150 --> 00:03:23.610
A saint.
53
00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:35.300
Mr.
54
00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:37.479
Templer, I hope you don't mind our barging in like this.
55
00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:38.439
Of course not, Louie.
56
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:39.680
But you see, this here is.
57
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:41.840
I'm Carol Blair.
58
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.960
Uh-huh, Miss Blair. But by this time, she's supposed to
59
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:45.800
have been Mrs.
60
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:46.699
Snyder.
61
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.639
Yeah, but she ain't on account of Mr. Snyder.
62
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:53.150
Didn't show up at the altar. So, Miss Blair, please
63
00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:53.789
sit down.
64
00:03:54.389 --> 00:03:54.930
Thank you.
65
00:03:55.689 --> 00:03:56.810
Here, have a handkerchief.
66
00:03:57.539 --> 00:03:58.650
I don't want a handkerchief.
67
00:03:59.229 --> 00:04:00.210
I want Jimmy.
68
00:04:00.389 --> 00:04:02.969
Well, I don't have Jimmy. I might perhaps try to
69
00:04:03.030 --> 00:04:04.050
find him. Oh, Mr.
70
00:04:04.069 --> 00:04:04.449
Templer.
71
00:04:04.490 --> 00:04:07.370
Whether I can or not is something else again. However,
72
00:04:07.550 --> 00:04:09.550
have you thought of the possibility that he might have
73
00:04:09.650 --> 00:04:11.680
changed his mind about matrimony?
74
00:04:12.300 --> 00:04:14.819
Oh, no, he wouldn't have. He loves me.
75
00:04:15.219 --> 00:04:15.939
Well, uh... Mr.
76
00:04:15.979 --> 00:04:18.800
Templer, there's nothing that could have kept Jimmy from marrying me.
77
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.420
Nothing except death.
78
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:24.420
¶ ¶.
79
00:04:28.490 --> 00:04:29.199
Thank you for.
80
00:04:29.060 --> 00:04:29.870
Bringing me home, Mr.
81
00:04:30.009 --> 00:04:30.329
Templer.
82
00:04:30.370 --> 00:04:31.610
You're very welcome, Carol.
83
00:04:32.410 --> 00:04:34.269
I'm sorry I cried so much.
84
00:04:34.329 --> 00:04:37.449
I'll call you as soon as I have any news.
85
00:04:37.930 --> 00:04:38.350
Good night.
86
00:04:44.870 --> 00:04:48.470
Miss Blair lives in a very mansion-type mansion.
87
00:04:48.629 --> 00:04:50.769
So she does. Well, let's go, Louie.
88
00:04:50.970 --> 00:04:53.569
Okay. Where to?
89
00:04:53.850 --> 00:04:55.250
James Snyder's apartment.
90
00:04:55.269 --> 00:04:55.670
Uh-huh.
91
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:58.560
You think maybe he overslept?
92
00:04:58.879 --> 00:04:59.339
I doubt it.
93
00:04:59.339 --> 00:05:02.379
Hey, Mr. Templer, I read a book once.
94
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.089
Oh, I wouldn't brood about it, Louie.
95
00:05:04.110 --> 00:05:04.569
Now, listen.
96
00:05:04.769 --> 00:05:07.029
In this here book, a girl's fellow don't show up
97
00:05:07.050 --> 00:05:08.470
to marry her on account of he's dead.
98
00:05:09.290 --> 00:05:10.439
You know, on account of somebody killed him?
99
00:05:10.509 --> 00:05:12.870
Oh, well, that would explain why he's dead, all right.
100
00:05:13.189 --> 00:05:16.209
So the girl says zounds. In those days, girls used
101
00:05:16.250 --> 00:05:17.149
to say zounds.
102
00:05:17.189 --> 00:05:18.939
That ain't what Miss Carol Blair said.
103
00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:20.699
Well, I guess she didn't read the book.
104
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.439
Well, probably too busy clipping her coupons. Oh.
105
00:05:25.189 --> 00:05:25.860
She's loaded, huh?
106
00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:27.360
She is loaded.
107
00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:30.560
Well, money and everything.
108
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.759
Hmm, I wonder if that's what James Snyder thought.
109
00:05:34.379 --> 00:05:34.600
Huh?
110
00:05:35.819 --> 00:05:37.800
Oh, yeah, Miss Blair told us he was broke.
111
00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:39.779
Hey, I got the solution.
112
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:40.600
Yes, Louie?
113
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.019
Yeah, maybe he got a job.
114
00:05:54.290 --> 00:05:57.269
Now, this here is a very fancy type hallway, Mr.
115
00:05:57.290 --> 00:06:00.850
Templer. So it is. Gaudy, but not neat. One C,
116
00:06:01.110 --> 00:06:03.250
one C. Yes, it is.
117
00:06:04.129 --> 00:06:06.860
How can a guy with no dough afford to live here?
118
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:12.720
Well, we'll ask him if he answers that doorbell.
119
00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:13.160
He's in.
120
00:06:13.740 --> 00:06:14.300
Hello.
121
00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:18.019
Except he's a she.
122
00:06:18.649 --> 00:06:19.089
Good evening.
123
00:06:19.889 --> 00:06:20.490
May we come in?
124
00:06:20.850 --> 00:06:21.329
All right.
125
00:06:21.589 --> 00:06:27.230
Thank you. It was Templer. Maybe she's why Snyder didn't
126
00:06:27.290 --> 00:06:28.110
show up.
127
00:06:29.170 --> 00:06:30.670
I think we stop here, no?
128
00:06:30.730 --> 00:06:35.670
Yes, Miss... I am Marie. Oh, Marie. This is Louis.
129
00:06:35.870 --> 00:06:36.310
Hello.
130
00:06:36.850 --> 00:06:38.589
Yeah, and I'm Simon Templer.
131
00:06:39.649 --> 00:06:41.629
Ah, you are the same.
132
00:06:41.949 --> 00:06:45.079
I'm afraid I am. Spending the winter here?
133
00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:49.459
In this apartment? For right now, I am read the book,
134
00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:50.300
you see.
135
00:06:50.939 --> 00:06:53.339
Book on American history. You're a student?
136
00:06:53.860 --> 00:06:54.899
What do you think?
137
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.230
I think
you graduated. Say, why the book, then?
138
00:06:58.490 --> 00:07:01.730
Well, I'm not so long in this country, and I
139
00:07:01.769 --> 00:07:02.769
wish to learn about.
140
00:07:02.810 --> 00:07:03.589
The American people?
141
00:07:03.910 --> 00:07:05.610
American men.
142
00:07:05.790 --> 00:07:07.709
Oh, they're not that different from Frenchmen.
143
00:07:08.110 --> 00:07:11.990
Maybe so, but it's the little difference that counts, hmm?
144
00:07:12.490 --> 00:07:15.300
Perhaps. You know, there are better ways of learning than
145
00:07:15.329 --> 00:07:19.060
from books. Why don't you ask Jimmy? He is out.
146
00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:19.740
He is?
147
00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:20.439
Yes.
148
00:07:20.860 --> 00:07:25.189
He's marrying himself. Oh, it is not right what I'm saying.
149
00:07:25.209 --> 00:07:27.490
He's marrying a girl.
150
00:07:27.529 --> 00:07:29.750
That's more usual. You don't mind?
151
00:07:29.990 --> 00:07:30.790
I do not mind.
152
00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:34.870
Sometimes close friends of the groom do. They say things like,
153
00:07:35.569 --> 00:07:37.370
what on earth does he see in her?
154
00:07:37.730 --> 00:07:40.079
But I am knowing what he sees in her.
155
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:40.699
Be careful.
156
00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:43.879
One million dollars. He's not bad.
157
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.779
He's fine. Well, that is, Carol is a very pretty girl, too,
158
00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:49.079
despite her million dollars.
159
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:50.120
Who cares?
160
00:07:51.379 --> 00:07:55.339
Of course, you'll probably laugh and laugh and... Are you
161
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.939
Jimmy's sister? Yeah, I thought so. But if you're not
162
00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:01.279
his sister, you must be.
163
00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:04.519
You look very pretty in red, Simon, but it is
164
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:05.899
not necessary to blush.
165
00:08:06.810 --> 00:08:09.009
I am Jimmy's... Whoop, Kitty, it's time for bed.
166
00:08:09.449 --> 00:08:09.750
Wife.
167
00:08:10.370 --> 00:08:11.490
You said wife?
168
00:08:12.149 --> 00:08:12.509
Wife.
169
00:08:14.170 --> 00:08:14.870
Excuse me, huh?
170
00:08:17.730 --> 00:08:18.110
Hello?
171
00:08:18.129 --> 00:08:19.389
Huh?
172
00:08:20.269 --> 00:08:23.589
He's not here. Monsieur Templer is here.
173
00:08:24.149 --> 00:08:24.550
Goodbye.
174
00:08:27.310 --> 00:08:29.470
Where's the doorman? I was saying.
175
00:08:29.509 --> 00:08:30.990
You said you were Jimmy's wife.
176
00:08:31.430 --> 00:08:32.009
It's true.
177
00:08:32.289 --> 00:08:35.029
Well, then if he'd married Carol, it would have also
178
00:08:35.070 --> 00:08:35.789
been bigamy.
179
00:08:36.309 --> 00:08:38.870
I am finding the lawyers say divorce not so good.
180
00:08:39.409 --> 00:08:43.590
So now Jimmy marry a rich girl. Maybe Jimmy gives
181
00:08:43.629 --> 00:08:45.409
me a big present.
182
00:08:45.690 --> 00:08:48.090
Big present. There's another name for it.
183
00:08:48.370 --> 00:08:48.850
Is so?
184
00:08:49.029 --> 00:08:51.009
Is so. The other name is blackmail.
185
00:08:51.570 --> 00:08:52.610
You are a funny man.
186
00:08:52.789 --> 00:08:53.730
I haven't been trying.
187
00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:55.769
Maybe you go away now, huh?
188
00:08:55.809 --> 00:08:57.929
Marie, I have news for you.
189
00:08:58.090 --> 00:08:58.870
What kind of news?
190
00:08:58.909 --> 00:09:00.549
Jimmy didn't show up at the altar.
191
00:09:01.250 --> 00:09:02.690
You make the joke once more.
192
00:09:02.809 --> 00:09:03.309
No joke.
193
00:09:03.649 --> 00:09:04.490
He's terrible.
194
00:09:04.509 --> 00:09:07.929
Which means that Jimmy hasn't married that million dollars yet.
195
00:09:08.460 --> 00:09:11.529
I think of the poor girl who waits at the altar.
196
00:09:12.220 --> 00:09:14.019
Almost I cry for her.
197
00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:15.139
Your eyes are dry.
198
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.779
I said almost. Goodbye.
199
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:18.980
You want to be alone?
200
00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:22.429
From you, yes. Goodbye also to you.
201
00:09:22.769 --> 00:09:22.909
Hmm?
202
00:09:23.649 --> 00:09:23.830
Oh.
203
00:09:24.470 --> 00:09:28.090
Oh, thanks for remembering me in time to say goodbye, Mr.
204
00:09:28.129 --> 00:09:31.850
Templin. We're leaving, Louie. Except, Marie, if you happen to
205
00:09:31.889 --> 00:09:34.889
run into Jimmy... Yes? Advise him to be very careful.
206
00:09:35.210 --> 00:09:35.629
So?
207
00:09:35.990 --> 00:09:38.450
To date, he's left one woman at the altar, another
208
00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:42.220
in his apartment. He'd be safer juggling dynamite.
209
00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:50.779
About Marie's character, I got nothing to say.
210
00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:55.149
But about her figure, Louis.
211
00:09:55.750 --> 00:09:57.110
I also got nothing to say.
212
00:09:58.210 --> 00:10:02.389
But, oh, I can dream. It's dark.
213
00:10:02.429 --> 00:10:04.250
Yeah, it usually is at this time of night.
214
00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:05.970
I know, but it don't hurt to mention it.
215
00:10:07.299 --> 00:10:08.840
Back to the cab? Yeah, I suppose so.
216
00:10:11.220 --> 00:10:12.419
Hey, you Templer?
217
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:13.759
Me? Yeah.
218
00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:17.720
Who wants to know? Who's asking you? You are. So
219
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:18.500
figure it out.
220
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:19.340
All right.
221
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.960
You got a pencil and paper, maybe? Oh, wise guy.
222
00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:24.179
If you don't mind my intruding, I'm Simon Tender.
223
00:10:24.299 --> 00:10:27.039
Well, thanks for telling me, silly.
224
00:10:27.690 --> 00:10:29.470
Hey, you can't. I did.
225
00:10:29.490 --> 00:10:32.070
Now, don't move too quick. Him, I gave the butt,
226
00:10:32.110 --> 00:10:33.289
but it's you I'm pointing.
227
00:10:33.029 --> 00:10:33.870
The business in.
228
00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:35.470
Get in the car.
229
00:10:35.490 --> 00:10:36.309
Not just yet.
230
00:10:36.490 --> 00:10:38.450
If you've hurt Louie... You want to get shot?
231
00:10:38.470 --> 00:10:43.220
Not especially. But first, I'm going to look at Louie. Oh,
232
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.909
he's unconscious. Hey, what was the idea?
233
00:10:45.929 --> 00:10:48.850
Well, all I wanted was you, so let's get going, huh? But, Louie,
234
00:10:48.970 --> 00:10:51.669
from what I gave him, he'll wake up. But you
235
00:10:51.769 --> 00:10:53.750
won't if you don't get in the car.
236
00:10:54.370 --> 00:11:01.860
Very well. Your name would be... You already know mine.
237
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:02.600
Where are we going?
238
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.139
That's what you're going to tell me. I am?
239
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:05.720
Yeah.
240
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.500
Because we're on our way to visit Jimmy Snyder.
241
00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:10.179
You've told me.
242
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.750
Just so happens his present address.
243
00:11:13.429 --> 00:11:15.789
Slips my mind, so... give, huh?
244
00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:16.649
Or else?
245
00:11:17.149 --> 00:11:21.610
No, no. Tonight we don't play. Tonight it's for keeps.
246
00:11:22.549 --> 00:11:34.389
Take me to Snyder. Nobody likes to die. This is
247
00:11:34.429 --> 00:11:35.370
where you live, huh?
248
00:11:35.389 --> 00:11:38.110
Not quite yet. Hallways are so drafty.
249
00:11:38.649 --> 00:11:39.149
Huh.
250
00:11:39.590 --> 00:11:39.990
Thank you.
251
00:11:42.789 --> 00:11:45.509
Snyder's in your apartment? We'll be inside in a moment.
252
00:11:51.309 --> 00:11:51.620
Hold it.
253
00:11:52.110 --> 00:11:52.590
Hold what?
254
00:11:52.769 --> 00:11:54.960
Shut up. Okay.
255
00:11:55.779 --> 00:11:57.179
Move slow, straight ahead.
256
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.580
You mean now you've cased the joint?
257
00:12:01.860 --> 00:12:07.559
I mean... I wanted to get that light on. Now, uh... Templer.
258
00:12:07.710 --> 00:12:11.250
Yes? I don't see Snyder. You know, now that you
259
00:12:11.289 --> 00:12:14.539
mention it, I don't see him either. You could overdo
260
00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:16.720
that light stuff. You really think so?
261
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:17.740
Where is he?
262
00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:20.600
I don't know, but he might be along at any moment. Yeah?
263
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:21.440
Why not?
264
00:12:22.659 --> 00:12:24.490
How would you like a slap in the eye? Put
265
00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.600
your gun down and try it.
266
00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:26.799
Why, you... Careful.
267
00:12:27.620 --> 00:12:30.710
Besides, would Marie approve of your language? Not to mention
268
00:12:30.730 --> 00:12:31.230
your tactics.
269
00:12:31.269 --> 00:12:33.250
Well, she don't have to. I'm the one who gives
270
00:12:33.269 --> 00:12:33.879
the orders and.
271
00:12:33.889 --> 00:12:34.649
Oh, thank you.
272
00:12:34.669 --> 00:12:36.970
For what?
273
00:12:37.389 --> 00:12:39.210
Telling me that you're the person who spoke to her
274
00:12:39.250 --> 00:12:41.970
over the phone a little while ago, back at Snyder's apartment.
275
00:12:42.330 --> 00:12:44.210
It explains how you happened to know I was there.
276
00:12:44.230 --> 00:12:46.149
Forget it. Now, what I want to know is when
277
00:12:46.210 --> 00:12:47.549
is Snyder going to show here?
278
00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:50.799
Well, of course, he may have mislaid his timetable.
279
00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:51.059
Yeah.
280
00:12:51.299 --> 00:12:52.740
Or perhaps even his life.
281
00:12:53.539 --> 00:13:03.649
Hey, Templer.
282
00:13:03.769 --> 00:13:08.190
Yes? I'm beginning to think that Snyder maybe ain't gonna show.
283
00:13:08.210 --> 00:13:10.950
Well, at the beginning, it shows promise. In time, you
284
00:13:10.990 --> 00:13:13.330
may have lots of little thoughts all the very long.
285
00:13:13.429 --> 00:13:16.090
You said... I said he might be along. I offered
286
00:13:16.129 --> 00:13:16.950
no guarantees.
287
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.580
Nobody's offered a guarantee on your life. Oh, sheer oversight.
288
00:13:22.779 --> 00:13:24.500
You could be playing me for a dope.
289
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.620
Good heavens, no.
290
00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:27.899
Are you a dope?
291
00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:28.980
Where's Snyder?
292
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:31.879
Well, men who have just been married usually spend the
293
00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:32.879
time immediately there.
294
00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:34.799
No, no, no. He ducked the church.
295
00:13:34.820 --> 00:13:36.779
That's interesting. But how did you know?
296
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:37.840
I know.
297
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:39.820
Something else, however, that you don't know.
298
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:40.799
What's that?
299
00:13:41.659 --> 00:13:44.919
The door behind you has just been sneaked open very,
300
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.200
very softly.
301
00:13:46.659 --> 00:13:48.980
Ha, ha, ha.
302
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.000
Oh, I amuse you?
303
00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:52.220
You kill me. You're so funny.
304
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.559
You exaggerate. I'm not the one who may kill you.
305
00:13:55.259 --> 00:13:57.809
There's a revolver barrel poking its snout around the edge
306
00:13:57.830 --> 00:14:00.970
of that door. Point of it's aimed at you. Well,
307
00:14:01.009 --> 00:14:03.269
I don't take my eyes off you, mister. I don't
308
00:14:03.289 --> 00:14:05.590
suppose there's anything I could say that would stop that
309
00:14:05.629 --> 00:14:09.129
little stranger from shooting, whoever he or she is. I
310
00:14:09.769 --> 00:14:12.570
do dislike having my home used as a shooting gallery, though.
311
00:14:12.970 --> 00:14:16.629
Neighbors complain. So, Mr. Dugan, would you mind going away
312
00:14:16.690 --> 00:14:18.049
and being shot someplace else?
313
00:14:18.269 --> 00:14:19.990
I am staying right here and.
314
00:14:21.970 --> 00:14:23.450
Oh. Get out of my way.
315
00:14:23.730 --> 00:14:24.070
No.
316
00:14:24.149 --> 00:14:26.309
Oh, you fool. I
want to go after whoever shot you.
317
00:14:26.370 --> 00:14:29.409
No, that's a trick. It's some kind of trick.
318
00:14:29.429 --> 00:14:52.730
You move and I'll... Lieutenant.
319
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:42.659
Archer, Homicide.
320
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.179
Hello, Lieutenant. This is Simon Temple. Lieutenant Archer just grabbed
321
00:14:46.220 --> 00:14:48.639
his Nash for a quick trip to the upper Amazon.
322
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:53.490
Lieutenant Archer hasn't got a Nash. He's doing Lieutenant. Yeah? Look,
323
00:14:53.529 --> 00:14:55.929
stop gnashing your teeth and guess what I've got. I
324
00:14:55.970 --> 00:14:56.620
wouldn't want it.
325
00:14:56.649 --> 00:14:57.490
I'm a married man.
326
00:14:57.629 --> 00:14:59.789
His name used to be Dugan, Anthony Dugan.
327
00:14:59.929 --> 00:15:00.509
I don't like him.
328
00:15:00.830 --> 00:15:03.700
Someone else didn't like him harder, so now he's dead.
329
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:04.169
Where?
330
00:15:04.340 --> 00:15:05.080
My apartment.
331
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:06.360
Got the killer there, too?
332
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:07.299
I'm sorry, no.
333
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.200
Well, get in touch with me when you do.
334
00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:10.039
All right, Lieutenant.
335
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:21.840
I'll be right down, Simon. He doesn't make a pretty corpse.
336
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.440
He makes a very dead one, though.
337
00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:24.279
Friend of yours?
338
00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:26.779
Lieutenant, neither of us really care. Yeah, I.
339
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.299
Company, Simon.
340
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:28.700
Who?
341
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:30.419
Oh, Louie.
342
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:31.620
Louie, he says.
343
00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:34.259
That's what he said. Louie, you're not hurt?
344
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:34.340
No.
345
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.259
No, in my family, everybody goes around with two heads.
346
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:39.620
Well, there was nothing I could do.
347
00:15:39.700 --> 00:15:42.620
Hang out with the saint and see Johns Hopkins from
348
00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:43.120
a bottle.
349
00:15:44.019 --> 00:15:44.259
Mr.
350
00:15:44.299 --> 00:15:45.590
Templer, where is that hooligan?
351
00:15:45.659 --> 00:15:46.210
I'm gonna....
352
00:15:48.299 --> 00:15:48.860
That's him?
353
00:15:49.179 --> 00:15:50.000
Yes, Louis.
354
00:15:50.980 --> 00:15:52.220
But he ain't breathing.
355
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.320
No, Louis. Lieutenant.
356
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:54.659
Yeah?
357
00:15:55.139 --> 00:15:57.399
Louis and I have an errand. You mind our leaving?
358
00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:58.620
Thanks for asking.
359
00:15:59.120 --> 00:15:59.600
So long.
360
00:15:59.700 --> 00:16:01.019
Goodbye. Louis?
361
00:16:01.330 --> 00:16:01.710
Coming.
362
00:16:03.490 --> 00:16:04.169
But to where?
363
00:16:04.509 --> 00:16:08.149
I think perhaps it's time we visited Carol Blair. Uh-huh.
364
00:16:09.649 --> 00:16:11.970
You think maybe she needs help? Help?
365
00:16:12.929 --> 00:16:13.690
Or an alibi?
366
00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:25.830
Looks like the mansion is all closed up for the night.
367
00:16:25.870 --> 00:16:26.769
I hope not.
368
00:16:27.009 --> 00:16:28.169
Maybe she's asleep, huh?
369
00:16:28.210 --> 00:16:30.269
She is. She hasn't read the right books. A woman
370
00:16:30.289 --> 00:16:33.009
who's just been left at the altar never sleeps. What's
371
00:16:33.029 --> 00:16:34.070
the matter? They don't get sleep?
372
00:16:35.129 --> 00:16:37.600
I have nothing but nothing to say to the press.
373
00:16:38.500 --> 00:16:39.240
Who is he?
374
00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:41.919
I don't know. To me, he looks like an outfielder
375
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:43.679
from left field, I might add.
376
00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:44.139
Wait, wait, wait.
377
00:16:44.769 --> 00:16:48.029
I beg your pardon. You, sir, would be... Theobald A.
378
00:16:48.210 --> 00:16:48.690
Blair.
379
00:16:49.470 --> 00:16:50.529
What does the A stand for?
380
00:16:50.549 --> 00:16:54.610
Artaxerxes. You may make all the jokes after I shut
381
00:16:54.629 --> 00:16:55.009
the door.
382
00:16:55.029 --> 00:16:55.309
Good night.
383
00:16:55.330 --> 00:16:57.870
We are coming in, Mr. Blair. Thank you.
384
00:16:58.490 --> 00:16:59.669
Pushing type, aren't you?
385
00:16:59.789 --> 00:17:01.929
Only when necessary. You're Carol's father?
386
00:17:02.149 --> 00:17:04.569
Uncle, young man, uncle. And who are you?
387
00:17:04.710 --> 00:17:06.650
Simon Templer. This is Louis.
388
00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:10.789
Tonight, everybody goes, hmm? Why does he have to use
389
00:17:10.829 --> 00:17:11.980
a question mark for me?
390
00:17:12.349 --> 00:17:14.809
Your niece asked me to help her, Mr. Blair.
391
00:17:14.930 --> 00:17:16.289
Carol is a young idiot.
392
00:17:16.430 --> 00:17:18.609
Youth has no monopoly on idiocy.
393
00:17:20.509 --> 00:17:23.390
I am almost squelched. Something that hasn't happened to.
394
00:17:23.369 --> 00:17:25.930
Me in years. How about an offer of employment?
395
00:17:26.309 --> 00:17:28.210
The last one I received was in the early 30s.
396
00:17:28.589 --> 00:17:30.329
Since then, no one's been vulgar enough to.
397
00:17:31.829 --> 00:17:33.410
That is hardly your concern.
398
00:17:33.670 --> 00:17:36.289
Is it? It might be. By the way, Marie sends
399
00:17:36.329 --> 00:17:36.670
her love.
400
00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:38.299
Good heavens, sir, not here.
401
00:17:38.420 --> 00:17:39.079
I beg your pardon?
402
00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:41.200
Well, we're men of the world, true, but still.
403
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.140
Then you knew Jimmy was married? I, uh.
404
00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:47.980
Would you like a spot of something? Truth. I'm afraid
405
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.940
we're temporarily out of that commodity.
406
00:17:49.980 --> 00:17:51.529
Dugan is dead, Mr. Blair.
407
00:17:52.250 --> 00:17:56.710
Indeed? How pleasant to discover that thugs like
him are mortal.
408
00:17:57.049 --> 00:17:59.109
Were you the one who tested his mortality?
409
00:17:59.910 --> 00:18:03.299
He was murdered, huh? No doubt whoever murdered him did
410
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:04.619
so with the best of intentions.
411
00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:06.140
It wasn't I, however.
412
00:18:06.579 --> 00:18:09.039
You haven't asked me where Jimmy is. You haven't implied
413
00:18:09.059 --> 00:18:09.640
that you know.
414
00:18:09.859 --> 00:18:10.180
Do you?
415
00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:11.779
No. You want to know?
416
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:12.680
Of course I do.
417
00:18:13.059 --> 00:18:14.720
In order to test his mortality?
418
00:18:14.740 --> 00:18:17.119
Nonsense. I wanted Jimmy to Medicare.
419
00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:19.119
Wanted it very badly. Uncle, I heard.
420
00:18:20.170 --> 00:18:20.670
Oh, Mr.
421
00:18:20.710 --> 00:18:21.150
Templer.
422
00:18:21.430 --> 00:18:22.269
Yeah, and Louie.
423
00:18:22.470 --> 00:18:23.829
I'm keeping the franchise open.
424
00:18:24.069 --> 00:18:24.710
Hello, Louie.
425
00:18:24.769 --> 00:18:25.130
Hello.
426
00:18:25.529 --> 00:18:26.630
I hope you weren't asleep.
427
00:18:26.970 --> 00:18:27.990
Oh, no, I couldn't.
428
00:18:28.750 --> 00:18:29.849
Simon, have you found Jimmy?
429
00:18:30.210 --> 00:18:30.509
No.
430
00:18:30.890 --> 00:18:32.410
I did find Marie, however.
431
00:18:33.470 --> 00:18:34.130
Who was Marie?
432
00:18:34.990 --> 00:18:38.250
Uncle Theobald can tell you. Probably with more details than
433
00:18:38.329 --> 00:18:38.769
I would know.
434
00:18:39.569 --> 00:18:39.829
Uncle?
435
00:18:40.670 --> 00:18:43.410
She, uh... Well, that is, she used to be, uh.
436
00:18:43.890 --> 00:18:45.890
Well, friendly with Jimmy at one time.
437
00:18:46.410 --> 00:18:46.910
Friendly?
438
00:18:47.549 --> 00:18:49.589
Well, yes, you might say that. As a matter of fact,
439
00:18:49.630 --> 00:18:52.750
she carried it to the extent of marrying him. Oh, no.
440
00:18:53.170 --> 00:18:54.130
Uncle, you're joking.
441
00:18:54.170 --> 00:18:56.490
Now, now, now, my dear. Perhaps you'd better lie down.
442
00:18:56.809 --> 00:18:58.630
Uncle, I've warned you time and time again. I'm not
443
00:18:58.670 --> 00:18:59.089
a child.
444
00:18:59.150 --> 00:19:00.829
I never thought you were. I always... Oh, Mr.
445
00:19:00.890 --> 00:19:02.329
Templer, it isn't true, is it?
446
00:19:02.430 --> 00:19:04.859
That Jimmy was married? I'm afraid it is. But it
447
00:19:04.890 --> 00:19:09.000
can't be. Otherwise, why would he have... Been ready to
448
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:11.539
marry you? But he was under the impression that he'd
449
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:13.299
been divorced from his first wife.
450
00:19:14.099 --> 00:19:16.059
Oh, and the divorce wasn't any good.
451
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:17.359
So it seems.
452
00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:19.079
Then Jimmy did love me.
453
00:19:19.259 --> 00:19:21.119
Jimmy would be the best one to answer that. Which
454
00:19:21.180
--> 00:19:24.420
reminds me, Louie and I have another errand to perform.
455
00:19:24.779 --> 00:19:25.259
What errand?
456
00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:27.579
I can't tell as yet. Whether it would be a
457
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.700
matter for the police or for the medical examiner.
458
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.210
The End.
459
00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:41.460
Mr.
460
00:19:41.529 --> 00:19:42.809
Templer, you're excited.
461
00:19:42.970 --> 00:19:46.430
Worried. What about Marie? That's why we're ringing a doorbell.
462
00:19:46.450 --> 00:19:47.529
No answer. It's locked, I don't know.
463
00:19:50.150 --> 00:19:52.509
Like that. It's not much of a lock.
464
00:19:53.849 --> 00:19:55.529
Don't look now, but you just ruined that lock.
465
00:19:55.549 --> 00:19:57.549
It's not important. What is important is.
466
00:20:00.509 --> 00:20:00.950
Marie.
467
00:20:01.650 --> 00:20:07.279
Yes. Blood on her nightgown. She's dead.
468
00:20:07.950 --> 00:20:08.660
It was shot, huh?
469
00:20:08.900 --> 00:20:13.269
Yes, close range. A trail of blood leads from the
470
00:20:13.450 --> 00:20:16.410
couch there to this overturned end table. You mean she
471
00:20:16.490 --> 00:20:19.089
crawled after you? Whoever shot her left her for dead
472
00:20:19.130 --> 00:20:22.509
at the couch. She wasn't quite dead. She fell to
473
00:20:22.549 --> 00:20:26.259
the floor, managed to reach the end table, knocked it over, and.
474
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:28.319
Yeah, and started to read a magazine or something, because
475
00:20:28.339 --> 00:20:29.559
there's one right under her head.
476
00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:30.220
Not read.
477
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:32.819
Actually, she tore a page out.
478
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.680
That's all she was able to do.
479
00:20:34.700 --> 00:20:36.319
No writing on it? No.
480
00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:40.140
Which means... Let's see. One side's the back cover.
481
00:20:40.900 --> 00:20:44.579
Yeah, there's a full-page advertisement for Hamilton Watches.
482
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.420
Maybe she wanted to know what time it was. It's
483
00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:48.839
a bad joke, but I don't feel good.
484
00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:51.460
She's evidently trying to tell us something with that ad.
485
00:20:51.539 --> 00:20:54.549
Something about her murderer. Hey, maybe the guy who shot
486
00:20:54.569 --> 00:20:59.029
her was a watchmaker, huh? Yeah, possibly that. More obviously,
487
00:20:59.329 --> 00:21:02.569
that his name was Hamilton. But as far as we know,
488
00:21:02.630 --> 00:21:06.069
there's been no Hamilton connected with the case. It would
489
00:21:06.109 --> 00:21:10.759
be stretching conclusions. Ready-made clue like that.
490
00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:16.829
I'll have to wait. Are you calling the cops?
491
00:21:16.890 --> 00:21:18.509
They can wait, too. I'm calling the Blairs.
492
00:21:18.869 --> 00:21:20.710
You want to let Carol know her husband is now
493
00:21:20.750 --> 00:21:21.130
a widower?
494
00:21:21.410 --> 00:21:26.390
I want to find out who's home. Hello? Carol, Simon Templer.
495
00:21:26.410 --> 00:21:27.059
Simon.
496
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:28.119
You found Jimmy?
497
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.420
Not exactly. Carol, is your uncle in?
498
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:32.920
No, he went for a walk in the park. He
499
00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:33.500
was upset.
500
00:21:33.539 --> 00:21:35.920
Thanks, Carol. Goodbye. Come on, Lily.
501
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:36.779
Where are we going?
502
00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:39.259
We're upset, too. So let's make it the park.
503
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:50.450
You know, this here just happens to be a very,
504
00:21:50.930 --> 00:21:52.089
very dark park.
505
00:21:52.849 --> 00:21:54.009
No sign of Uncle Theobald.
506
00:21:55.730 --> 00:21:55.849
Mr.
507
00:21:55.890 --> 00:21:59.309
Templer, you think there's something phony about him taking a
508
00:21:59.329 --> 00:22:00.210
walk this time of night?
509
00:22:00.250 --> 00:22:04.089
Phony? Not necessarily. Let's call it dangerous. No, I'm nervous.
510
00:22:04.150 --> 00:22:04.630
Let's not.
511
00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:09.380
Maybe he used to be a watchmaker.
512
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:10.279
That's possible.
513
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:12.059
Mr.
514
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:13.960
Temple, you know, I just thought of something else. You
515
00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:18.430
kind of stopped looking for Jimmy Snyder. You think it's hopeless?
516
00:22:18.509 --> 00:22:22.410
I don't know. Other things to worry about first. So Snyder,
517
00:22:22.470 --> 00:22:25.109
if he's still alive... You wouldn't bet on that, huh?
518
00:22:25.849 --> 00:22:28.109
Hey, look. Up ahead by the side of the road.
519
00:22:28.170 --> 00:22:29.259
Yeah, the above.
520
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.799
He's waiting for the traffic lights to change. Not many
521
00:22:32.859 --> 00:22:35.240
cars are driving around through the park this time of.
522
00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:37.420
Night, though. But there is one parked down the road
523
00:22:37.460 --> 00:22:37.700
a bit.
524
00:22:37.779 --> 00:22:38.180
Come on.
525
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.920
Yeah? The lights changed. He's starting to cross.
526
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.420
Where's the car? Theobald! Theobald! He ain't heard you. He's
527
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:46.180
out on the roadway.
528
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:51.230
Theobald! The car hit him.
529
00:22:51.509 --> 00:22:53.210
No lights, no license plate type.
530
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:56.420
Is he dead?
531
00:22:57.539 --> 00:23:00.400
No. The car just sideswiped it.
532
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:01.160
Oh.
533
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:03.960
Hey, Theobald. Hello. There?
534
00:23:05.609 --> 00:23:06.240
Bad driving?
535
00:23:07.069 --> 00:23:11.509
No, no. No, murderous driving. That car tried to kill you. Theobald,
536
00:23:11.529 --> 00:23:14.269
we'll get an ambulance for you. You'll be all right. But, look,
537
00:23:14.329 --> 00:23:16.569
I've got to know
something. Do you have a place
538
00:23:16.609 --> 00:23:18.750
of your own besides Carol's house? I.
539
00:23:19.769 --> 00:23:20.109
Oh, yes.
540
00:23:20.869 --> 00:23:21.789
I keep a small room.
541
00:23:23.089 --> 00:23:24.210
She'll be vanity of mine.
542
00:23:25.250 --> 00:23:29.410
But it belongs to me. Where is it?
543
00:23:29.410 --> 00:23:30.049
19 Terrace Place.
544
00:23:30.630 --> 00:23:31.119
Apartment 3.
545
00:23:31.109 --> 00:23:34.299
Have fun and.
546
00:23:35.539 --> 00:23:37.359
Oh, he's fainted.
547
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:40.279
Louie, go get help for him. I'll wait till you
548
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:40.960
get back and then.
549
00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:41.299
Yeah?
550
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:44.000
And then we'll remember the forgotten man.
551
00:23:56.210 --> 00:23:56.369
Hmm.
552
00:23:57.109 --> 00:23:58.769
This here ain't a very elegant dump.
553
00:23:59.250 --> 00:24:02.470
Louie, I'm worried. About who's killing everybody? No, I think
554
00:24:02.509 --> 00:24:03.630
that's fairly clear.
555
00:24:04.170 --> 00:24:05.890
Oh, you speak for yourself, John.
556
00:24:05.930 --> 00:24:10.140
But Mary's dying action, it puzzles me. That ad for watches,
557
00:24:10.259 --> 00:24:14.519
it seems to point nowhere. Just ads and unnecessary complications.
558
00:24:14.579 --> 00:24:17.980
To me, all complications are unnecessary. You know, Mr.
559
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.779
Templer, maybe what you need is a secretary.
560
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:19.960
What?
561
00:24:20.569 --> 00:24:21.529
All I said was a secretary.
562
00:24:21.549 --> 00:24:22.589
Louie, I love you.
563
00:24:22.630 --> 00:24:22.890
What?
564
00:24:22.930 --> 00:24:24.390
Look, this is my busy weekend.
565
00:24:24.430 --> 00:24:24.730
Please.
566
00:24:24.750 --> 00:24:30.309
This is apartment three. Louie. Oh.
567
00:24:30.990 --> 00:24:33.670
This is where he hangs out when he ain't being rich.
568
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:34.950
Eh?
569
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:39.240
Yeah. Come back there. This is his closet.
570
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:43.740
Oh, look now, but that there must be Jimmy Snyder
571
00:24:43.779 --> 00:24:44.839
all tied up and gagged.
572
00:24:44.859 --> 00:24:47.519
You're quite right, Louie. I better untie him. No, Louie. Huh?
573
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.299
You better make a phone call.
574
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:50.000
Who to?
575
00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:53.859
The police. Mr. Snyder can untie himself without too much difficulty,
576
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.210
I suspect. Hey, hey, he's got a hand for you.
577
00:24:56.220 --> 00:25:01.500
I'd rather thought he would. I'll take that gun and... Oh.
578
00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:04.319
You felt you had to do that? Of course.
579
00:25:05.140 --> 00:25:06.380
He wasn't tied up very good.
580
00:25:06.539 --> 00:25:06.819
No.
581
00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:10.109
He... You, but... All right, I'll phone the police. Yeah,
582
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:10.900
but what'll I tell them?
583
00:25:11.109 --> 00:25:14.210
To come and pick up Mr. James Snyder, vanishing bridegroom
584
00:25:14.289 --> 00:25:15.410
and murderer.
585
00:25:16.170 --> 00:25:16.829
Oh.
586
00:25:25.099 --> 00:25:28.119
Simon, I don't understand. How could it have been Jimmy?
587
00:25:28.289 --> 00:25:30.710
Well, he was married to Marie. Marie and her happy
588
00:25:30.750 --> 00:25:33.589
little trigger man, Dugan, were preparing to blackmail him as
589
00:25:33.630 --> 00:25:36.470
soon as he married you, Carol. Jimmy didn't care for
590
00:25:36.509 --> 00:25:38.750
the program, and so... So he killed him. Right, Louie.
591
00:25:39.430 --> 00:25:42.349
Your uncle also knew, so that meant that he, too,
592
00:25:42.410 --> 00:25:45.289
would have to die. But Jimmy tried to arrange it
593
00:25:45.349 --> 00:25:48.150
so that Theobald's death would seem to be an accident.
594
00:25:48.890 --> 00:25:51.019
After he ran him down in the park, he went
595
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.259
to Theobald's apartment and tied himself up. He knew someone
596
00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:55.420
would find him there shortly.
597
00:25:55.900 --> 00:25:58.359
And everybody would have thought that Uncle had killed Marie
598
00:25:58.420 --> 00:25:58.880
and Dugan.
599
00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:01.299
Simon, however, did you know?
600
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:04.500
Marie. She was murdered in her living room. She was
601
00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:07.789
wearing a nightgown at the time. It's hardly likely she
602
00:26:07.829 --> 00:26:10.470
would have received any ordinary visitor in that state.
603
00:26:10.670 --> 00:26:14.609
Except her husband, Jimmy. Right, Laurie. Only, now look, what's
604
00:26:14.670 --> 00:26:15.970
the business with the watch ad?
605
00:26:16.230 --> 00:26:19.170
Well, we know that Marie Dying tore a page out
606
00:26:19.210 --> 00:26:23.339
of a magazine... Obviously, because that page contained an indication
607
00:26:23.380 --> 00:26:24.220
of who had killed her.
608
00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:24.759
Wait a minute.
609
00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:27.339
All that page contained was an ad for Hamilton Watches?
610
00:26:27.380 --> 00:26:28.500
Oh, you're forgetting something, Millie.
611
00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:28.759
Yeah?
612
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:30.779
What was Marie doing the first time that we met her?
613
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:33.619
She was, uh... Oh, yeah, she was reading a book.
614
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.059
About?
615
00:26:34.900 --> 00:26:37.410
Uh... American history. Mm-hmm.
616
00:26:37.529 --> 00:26:40.589
I remembered that. And then when you mentioned the word secretary... Yeah,
617
00:26:40.609 --> 00:26:43.009
this I mentioned, all right. I knew whom she'd named
618
00:26:43.089 --> 00:26:43.769
as her murderer.
619
00:26:44.029 --> 00:26:46.549
Uh-huh. I still don't know.
620
00:26:47.099 --> 00:26:47.440
Louie.
621
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:47.920
Yeah?
622
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:50.460
Look, in American history, who was Alexander Hamilton?
623
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:53.559
Oh, oh, the pilgrim father.
624
00:26:53.579 --> 00:26:53.640
No.
625
00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:55.359
Pilgrim son?
626
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:59.079
Louie, Alexander Hamilton was the first secretary of the treasury.
627
00:26:59.099 --> 00:27:00.400
Uh-huh.
628
00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:05.569
So? So, who's the secretary of the treasury today?
629
00:27:05.589 --> 00:27:09.450
Oh, well, that's a guy named, uh... Wait a minute,
630
00:27:09.470 --> 00:27:10.549
let me look at the dollar bill.
631
00:27:12.710 --> 00:27:13.390
Oh, yeah, yeah.
632
00:27:13.450 --> 00:27:13.750
Right.
633
00:27:14.190 --> 00:27:15.609
And Jimmy Snyder was a suspect?
634
00:27:15.630 --> 00:27:15.700
Yes.
635
00:27:16.349 --> 00:27:19.589
So it goes to show people ought to read American history.
636
00:27:20.309 --> 00:27:26.559
You know, Marie was awfully bright. I'm not. I feel terrible, Simon.
637
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:28.680
You needn't, Carol. You'll get over Jimmy.
638
00:27:29.980 --> 00:27:33.039
Do you think so, Simon? How?
639
00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:36.869
Well, uh, um, Louie, hmm?
640
00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:40.910
Oh, yeah, Mr. Temple? Please go take a cab, hmm?
641
00:27:41.730 --> 00:27:43.269
The End.
642
00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:58.160
You have been listening to another transcribed adventure of the saint,
643
00:27:58.420 --> 00:28:01.660
the Robin Hood of modern crime. Now here is our star,
644
00:28:01.779 --> 00:28:02.579
Vincent Price.
645
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:06.920
Ladies and gentlemen, from the past we have received a heritage,
646
00:28:07.380 --> 00:28:12.119
our American heritage. And it consists of many things. It's
647
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.769
an ideal and a way of life. It's everything America
648
00:28:15.809 --> 00:28:20.369
stands for, our heritage. We can repay the past only
649
00:28:20.430 --> 00:28:24.829
by using our heritage well today, by taking pride in
650
00:28:24.849 --> 00:28:29.119
the most complete expression of individual liberties, civil rights, and
651
00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:34.180
personal dignity. And by doing so, we'll be guaranteeing our future.
652
00:28:34.859 --> 00:28:38.339
For we have learned from history that unused freedom has
653
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:42.250
a habit of slipping away. Of course, using our freedom
654
00:28:42.329 --> 00:28:45.319
makes certain demands upon us. But to the people of
655
00:28:45.420 --> 00:28:49.920
many countries today, these demands would constitute a gift beyond price.
656
00:28:50.859 --> 00:28:54.839
They mean voting in an informed way, serving on juries,
657
00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.569
taking an interest in having a voice in all the
658
00:28:57.609 --> 00:29:01.210
affairs of the community, the state, and the nation. All
659
00:29:01.269 --> 00:29:05.730
this preserves our heritage by exercising it. And by making
660
00:29:05.809 --> 00:29:09.230
our form of government work better at home, we strengthen
661
00:29:09.250 -->
00:29:13.769
democracy everywhere. We provide an example of free people governing
662
00:29:13.809 --> 00:29:18.069
themselves through a free government, a dynamic example of man's
663
00:29:18.210 --> 00:29:22.430
finest ideals at work. To every American, then, falls the
664
00:29:22.470 --> 00:29:28.359
task of protecting our heritage, for freedom is everybody's job.
665
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:31.539
This is Vincent Price inviting you to join us again
666
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:34.559
next week at this same time for another exciting adventure
667
00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:36.380
of The Saint. Good night.
668
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.859
This script of The Saint was written by Louis Vities.
669
00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:56.880
In our cast, you heard Viola Vaughn as Marie and
670
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.400
Sharon Douglas as Carol. Sheldon Leonard was Dugan, Ted Osborne,
671
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.089
Uncle Theobald. Frank Gerstle was Lieutenant Archer. Louie is played
672
00:30:04.130 --> 00:30:07.609
by Larry Dotkin. The Saint, based on characters created by
673
00:30:07.650 --> 00:30:09.150
Leslie Charteris, is a James L.
674
00:30:09.170 --> 00:30:12.430
Safier production and is directed by Helen Mack. Vincent Price
675
00:30:12.490 --> 00:30:13.349
is soon to be seen.
676
00:30:13.190 --> 00:30:16.329
Co-starring with Errol Flynn and Michelin Prell in William Marshall's
677
00:30:16.369 --> 00:30:19.109
production of Bloodline. All you Saint fans will be glad
678
00:30:19.150 --> 00:30:21.130
to know that the Saint comic books are now on
679
00:30:21.190 --> 00:30:26.009
sale at all newsstands. Three chimes mean good times on NBC.
680
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:30.480
There's fun every Sunday on NBC with two delightful and
681
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.420
sometimes very bewildering families. The Blandings family continues to have
682
00:30:34.500 --> 00:30:37.640
typically suburban adventures in their famous dream house.
683
00:30:38.019 --> 00:30:40.700
Cary Grant and Betsy Drake star as Mr. and Mrs.
684
00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:41.240
Blandings.
685
00:30:41.740 --> 00:30:44.230
Sunday also means a visit with the hilarious Harrises and
686
00:30:44.269 --> 00:30:46.569
their friends on the Phil Harris Alice Faye Show.
687
00:30:46.970 --> 00:30:49.309
This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.
688
00:31:01.019 --> 00:31:06.680
Welcome back. Well, everyone out there who knew who President
689
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:12.000
Truman's second secretary of the treasury was had a good
690
00:31:12.099 --> 00:31:15.480
chance to solve this case. In all seriousness, I don't
691
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.400
think it was that great a clue if you were contemporary. Now,
692
00:31:19.619 --> 00:31:24.849
it should be said that the treasury secretary is one
693
00:31:24.910 --> 00:31:30.650
of the president's most important and most prominent cabinet members.
694
00:31:31.130 --> 00:31:35.140
right behind the Secretary of State in the presidential line
695
00:31:35.299 --> 00:31:41.859
of succession, and is the cabinet officer with the most
696
00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:45.400
responsibility and power relevant to the U.S.
697
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:46.200
Economy.
698
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:52.009
So certainly Snyder was well known to informed Americans, but
699
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:58.859
the last name was common enough that you wouldn't necessarily
700
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:05.200
have a strong association between everyone with that last name
701
00:32:05.539 --> 00:32:09.769
and the Secretary of the Treasury. You couldn't have done
702
00:32:09.829 --> 00:32:15.230
this during FDR's tenure. If the groom were named Morgenthau,
703
00:32:15.609 --> 00:32:18.849
the audience would make the connection. Same thing with the
704
00:32:18.910 --> 00:32:23.269
current Secretary of the Treasury, who, in keeping with the
705
00:32:23.309 --> 00:32:26.789
tradition of this episode, I won't actually name. But it's
706
00:32:26.789 --> 00:32:31.109
2026 at the time I'm recording this, if anyone cares
707
00:32:31.170 --> 00:32:33.970
to look it up, if you're listening some years down
708
00:32:34.029 --> 00:32:39.190
the line. And I guess as a dying clue, it's decent.
709
00:32:39.349 --> 00:32:43.839
It's a bit obscure, but, you know, she's essentially in
710
00:32:43.859 --> 00:32:48.559
a situation, can't write or leave anything behind other than
711
00:32:48.619 --> 00:32:53.599
this magazine. So I could imagine her turning the pages on,
712
00:32:54.390 --> 00:32:59.049
and just looking for something. And settling on this, and
713
00:32:59.230 --> 00:33:03.390
thankfully for her, Simon picked up the reference. Even though
714
00:33:03.450 --> 00:33:10.279
I'm pretty sure that listeners in both 1951 and 2026
715
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:13.920
didn't quite get it. Listener comments and feedback, and we're
716
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:19.440
going to Instagram now. Alan, to buy or not to buy?
717
00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:25.299
That is the question. Uh, uh, And Alan writes over
718
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:29.160
on Instagram, I love this episode, but man, the tuba puns.
719
00:33:29.380 --> 00:33:30.000
I guess the.
720
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:34.660
Saint is a man of many talents, including dad jokes. Yeah,
721
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:38.380
there were quite a few tuba puns in this episode.
722
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:43.730
In defense of the writers, I will say that this
723
00:33:43.829 --> 00:33:48.650
is probably their only chance in their whole career to
724
00:33:48.869 --> 00:33:53.019
use all of these tuba puns. You know, other times
725
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:57.319
it's like, yeah, I can use a pun another time.
726
00:33:58.140 --> 00:34:00.099
But this time, no. It's like, when are you going
727
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:04.190
to have a story centered on a tuba player? Tuba
728
00:34:04.210 --> 00:34:11.030
players are not, you know, generally central characters in fiction.
729
00:34:11.369 --> 00:34:15.170
So you just pull them all out, as many as
730
00:34:15.230 --> 00:34:18.380
you can get in, as if there is no tomorrow.
731
00:34:18.550 --> 00:34:22.650
And there isn't, at least not for tuba puns. All right, well,
732
00:34:22.789 --> 00:34:25.909
now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day.

for the final episode we have of Burton Trent, where.
744
00:35:18.030 --> 00:35:18.909
Well, Mr.
745
00:35:18.949 --> 00:35:20.389
Halliday, do you feel up to telling me the whole
746
00:35:20.409 --> 00:35:23.210
story now? Yes, it's incredible, Mr.
747
00:35:23.250 --> 00:35:23.469
Trent.
748
00:35:24.050 --> 00:35:25.889
I'd just been to the bank to pick up two
749
00:35:25.969 --> 00:35:28.909
rather valuable diamonds, which I intended having reset as a
750
00:35:28.929 --> 00:35:30.840
twenty-first birthday present for my daughter.
751
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:33.920
I'd picked them up and was walking down the street.
752
00:35:33.980 --> 00:35:36.400
Intending to take them to the jewellers, when a young
753
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.480
woman collided with me and promptly fell into my arms, fainting.
754
00:35:40.460 --> 00:35:42.380
I offered to drive her home, but she assured me
755
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:44.719
she was quite all right again, but consented to have
756
00:35:44.739 --> 00:35:47.260
a cup of tea. Well, I took her into a
757
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:50.269
tea shop that was handy. She pulled herself together very quickly,
758
00:35:50.309 --> 00:35:53.159
but I suddenly felt rather strange.
759
00:35:54.389 --> 00:35:55.730
The next thing I knew was when I woke to
760
00:35:55.769 --> 00:35:57.789
find myself here in hospital. Then you found that the
761
00:35:57.829 --> 00:35:58.809
diamonds had disappeared, eh?
762
00:35:59.769 --> 00:36:00.869
What value do you place on them?
763
00:36:01.530 --> 00:36:03.070
Oh, I should say about 4,000 pounds.
764
00:36:03.090 --> 00:36:05.130
They're very beautiful stones.
765
00:36:05.150 --> 00:36:07.650
I hope you'll be with us then. In the meantime,
