:17:01
Sit down.
:17:02
Bertha, let's have some ice and soda.
Never mind, we have some.
:17:05
Hope you don't mind drinking this early.
:17:07
I could use a drink. I'll be celebrating
being elected public enemy number one.
:17:12
By the Thayars, you mean.
:17:14
- You found it.
- It was in the right leg.
:17:16
Mr. Charles,
I think you have this all wrong.
:17:19
- Have you read the morning paper?
- No.
:17:21
I haven't gotten to it yet.
But, I do know that...
:17:30
Phil didn't do it.
:17:31
I know many people heard him
threaten Drake. That made it look bad...
:17:34
but he was just trying to scare him a little.
:17:36
This is why we've come to ask your help.
:17:38
Phil wouldn't shoot anybody.
:17:40
I'm sorry.
:17:42
I'd like to discuss this matter further,
but I'm afraid it'll have to be by telephone.
:17:47
But, Nick.
:17:49
Darling, Mr. Brant is wanted by the police.
:17:51
Our having him here
without notifying them...
:17:53
makes us accessories after the fact.
:17:55
And I don't think you'd find
the prison gray very becoming.
:17:59
I'm sorry we couldn't have a drink.
Perhaps, some other time.
:18:03
- It's quite all right.
- I don't want to appear inhospitable.
:18:06
Here, take the bottle with you.
:18:09
I imagine that shot was meant for me.
:18:11
- No.
- A fine way to kill a bottle.
:18:14
- What goes on? What happened?
- Go to your room.
:18:16
That's the murderer from the paper.
:18:18
Hold on to him. I'll buzz the cops.
:18:20
You buzz right back to your room.
:18:22
What happened?
:18:24
- Did you pick anyone up now?
- I haven't in the last 10 minutes.
:18:27
Be right back.
:18:31
Was anyone hurt?
:18:33
Yes, an old friend of mine
went completely to pieces.
:18:42
What was it?
:18:44
- Some drunk rehearsing for the Fourth.
- In September?
:18:48
He was drunk.
:18:51
Did you discover anything?
:18:52
Yes. Never entertain newlyweds
until you've read the morning papers.
:18:56
There's the Charles' apartment.
:18:58
Police. Duck in there.
