1:37:01
David, you remember him?
1:37:05
Was he the man with the long,
white mustache?
1:37:07
- Yes, what did you know about him?
- Nothing.
1:37:09
That was six years ago.
I haven't seen him since.
1:37:11
What about you?
1:37:13
I can't see what possible connection
this can have with us.
1:37:15
You don't? Well, I'll tell you.
1:37:19
Pedro and Robert Landis were both shot
with the same gun.
1:37:22
Some monkey business was going on here
that we want to find out about.
1:37:25
You tell her, Mr. Charles.
1:37:29
Yes, with pleasure.
1:37:30
It seems that one week ago...
1:37:33
Pedro rented this apartment to someone
calling himself, or herself...
1:37:35
Anderson.
1:37:39
- Did you ever see this Anderson?
- No.
1:37:41
- Ever hear him up here above you?
- No.
1:37:43
I thought not.
1:37:45
He was rather clever and ingenious,
this Anderson.
1:37:47
Always wore gloves,
never left a fingerprint.
1:37:49
He intended, with the aid of this ladder...
1:37:52
to crawl down into your place some night
and polish Robert off with this.
1:37:55
Then he was going to climb back up here,
unscrew the ladder...
1:37:59
throw that out the window
on a dump heap down below.
1:38:03
Then walk quietly out leaving you
holding the bag for Robert's murder.
1:38:07
Do you know anyone who thinks
enough of you to do that?
1:38:12
Why, no.
1:38:14
- You're Dancer's girl, aren't you?
- I work for him.
1:38:17
That's not what he asked you.
1:38:19
Well, we got an understanding.
1:38:21
Did Dancer know you were going away
with Robert?
1:38:23
Why...
1:38:26
Go on, you told us before.
1:38:27
You promised you'd keep that a secret.
I'll never trust a cop again.
1:38:30
Now listen, if you've made a dicker
with the cops, okay.
1:38:34
But that ladder stuff's a lot of malarkey.
1:38:38
No one did come down that ladder,
and Landis wasn't killed in her place.
1:38:41
The only reason he wasn't killed
in her place...
1:38:45
was that Anderson was found out.
1:38:47
Pedro came in here yesterday
to lay a new rug.
1:38:50
He didn't like the looks of things,
so he changed the lock on the door.
1:38:53
When Anderson came in,
he found that he was locked out.
1:38:57
Then he heard Pedro
telephoning me downstairs.
