1:32:00
- Weren't you?
- What's that got to do with it?
1:32:03
Maybe we'd better have
everybody in on this.
1:32:06
Try the second door down on the left.
The key's in the lock.
1:32:09
- Who is it?
- lf I know my perfumes...
1:32:12
it's Dorothy or Agnes
or whatever her name is.
1:32:15
I haven't done anything. You let me go.
I haven't anything to do with this.
1:32:18
- Then what are you doing here?
- I came to see Mr. Charles.
1:32:21
When I came to work for you,
I'd gotten out of prison.
1:32:23
- Good gracious.
- I was going straight.
1:32:25
I knew the police wouldn't believe me
after the killing, so I lit out.
1:32:28
But I couldn't rest easy.
I had to explain to Mr. Charles.
1:32:31
Why should an ex-convict,
seek employment...
1:32:33
in the home of a man
known to the world as a great detective?
1:32:35
Because he never refused a break
to anybody in his life.
1:32:38
I meant to prove to them
that I could make good.
1:32:40
I was going to tell them.
1:32:41
That's all right. I knew about you.
1:32:44
Wait a moment. Guild says this woman
was the one at Chestevere Apartments.
1:32:47
I'm afraid for once
the Lieutenant is wrong. She wasn't.
1:32:51
Look, Nickie, it's smoking.
1:32:56
It worked.
1:32:59
Give me that rod.
1:33:02
I knew it was Dum-Dum all the time.
1:33:04
- Was it him?
- No.
1:33:06
Dum-Dum was only trying to get
the accomplice who killed his Mr. Church.
1:33:09
But who...
1:33:10
I'm afraid you people
haven't been paying attention.
1:33:13
This little trick I just showed you...
1:33:15
gave the murderer five minutes
to get away and get an alibi.
1:33:18
There was only one person
who used that particular alibi.
1:33:22
Church planned this trick
and you carried it through.
1:33:27
That's why Church had Smitty
to stooge for him.
1:33:30
So no one would suspect
he was mixed up with another woman.
1:33:32
- What are you saying?
- You're friends with Church and Dum-Dum.
1:33:35
That's why your dog was friends
with them, let them come and go.
1:33:38
That's why he stood on his hind legs,
as the prints showed...
1:33:41
with his paws on his killer's shoulders,
when they cut his throat.
1:33:44
If they were friends, why did they kill him?
1:33:46
To avoid suspicion that you and Church
were working together.
1:33:49
It's a lie. I killed MacFay.
1:33:51
Careful, Freddie, you know what happened
to Horn when he tried to protect her.
1:33:55
What do you mean?
1:33:56
I mean that Horn must have known
that she committed the murder.
1:33:59
He was jittery that night,
almost out of control.
