00:02:57Hello?
00:02:58Yes?
00:03:00Okay, I'll be right over.
00:03:02Another one of those calls.
00:03:05Come on, Kelly.
00:03:10Hey, what's your game, mister?
00:03:13Well, it's, uh, a form of solitaire.
00:03:51All right, boys, keep them up.
00:03:54Well, if it ain't Red Hogan and his little playmate Stevie.
00:03:59Get going.
00:04:01Beat it.
00:04:17Yes, sir.
00:04:20Things don't look right in there.
00:04:23You better take them down. I'll join you later.
00:04:27Okay.
00:04:28Come on, get them up.
00:04:35Well, what's this?
00:04:37Hello.
00:04:38Oh, I'm, uh, I'm Mr. Randall.
00:04:41I must thank you for coming to my rescue.
00:04:43Say.
00:04:45Did you just come in?
00:04:47No, I was in my office.
00:04:49To be truthful, I locked myself in when I heard them working on the safe.
00:04:52Hmm.
00:04:53Guess it's, uh, better to be careful, eh?
00:04:55Mm-hmm.
00:04:56Oh, I'm glad you're here, Mr. Randall.
00:04:58Well, I have a few questions I want to ask.
00:05:00Oh.
00:05:01Just routine stuff, you know.
00:05:03I'm at your service.
00:05:05Uh, we might be more comfortable in my private office.
00:05:07Come in.
00:05:08Yeah.
00:05:13Sit down, Inspector.
00:05:14Captain.
00:05:15Captain Breen.
00:05:16Oh, I see.
00:05:21Did you fall in headquarters?
00:05:24Yes.
00:05:44Those papers in the safe must be pretty valuable, aren't they?
00:05:48To me, yes.
00:05:49I see.
00:05:53All right, drop that.
00:05:56Don't shoot, sir.
00:05:57Don't shoot.
00:05:59This place is full of burglars.
00:06:01I'm sorry to disappoint you, Captain.
00:06:03That nervous individual happens to be on my side.
00:06:06Oh, I see.
00:06:09May I relax, sir?
00:06:11Yes, all right.
00:06:13Oh, Henricks.
00:06:14Uh, take those papers to my apartment.
00:06:19You know the ones I want.
00:06:21Oh, yes, sir.
00:06:22And if you have any difficulty, remember, you're working for Chester Randall.
00:06:27Oh, yes, sir.
00:06:36Here's your phone, Mr. Randall.
00:06:38Yes, thanks.
00:06:45Uh, hello?
00:06:48Yes, this is, uh, Chester Randall.
00:06:52I'm calling for Mr. Caleb Delphin.
00:06:56Mr. Delphin wants me to come to his home.
00:06:58What, at this time of night?
00:06:59Sorry about the hour, Mr. Randall.
00:07:01But before Mr. Delphin's lawyer left for Europe,
00:07:04he insisted that we call you,
00:07:06in case of emergency.
00:07:08Well, wouldn't tomorrow do?
00:07:12Oh, I see.
00:07:16Yes.
00:07:16Well, uh, what's the address?
00:07:18Have you got a pencil, Captain?
00:07:20Yes?
00:07:24Fine.
00:07:26Yes, thank you.
00:07:27I'll be over as soon as possible.
00:07:28Yes.
00:07:29Goodbye.
00:07:33What's up?
00:07:34I don't know.
00:07:37Well, thanks again, Captain.
00:07:39If you need me for anything later, I'm at your service.
00:07:41Oh, yeah, sure.
00:07:41Oh, uh, I think I'd better go along with you.
00:07:47Oh, I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:07:49Well, you don't seem to know what they want with you, and perhaps...
00:07:53Yes, I think I'd better go along.
00:07:57All right, if you think it's best.
00:08:01Uh, pardon me, I'll get my briefcase.
00:08:04Surely.
00:08:05No, no, no.
00:08:05No?
00:08:35This is the willing document simply.
00:08:35Ready, Captain?
00:08:37Oh, yes.
00:08:38Would you mind locking the safe?
00:08:43Not at all.
00:08:58After you.
00:09:35Wait for us.
00:09:38Uh, Mr. Randall?
00:09:39Hi, Mr. Randall.
00:09:41Mr. Delfton is waiting, sir.
00:09:43Anything I can do?
00:09:44Oh, no, sir.
00:09:45It's really not that serious.
00:09:47Thanks for your kindness, Captain.
00:09:49Not at all.
00:09:49Glad to have been of service, Mr. Randall.
00:09:51See, I've been out in the sticks for a long time,
00:09:53and we don't get to meet very many big-time lawyers.
00:09:56I was wondering why you hadn't recognized me.
00:09:58Good night.
00:09:58Good night.
00:10:05Headquarters.
00:10:24At your service, Mr. Delfton.
00:10:27Sit down, please.
00:10:29That's all, Wellington.
00:10:31I'll let Mr. Randall out.
00:10:33Yes, sir.
00:10:34Good night, sir.
00:10:42I thought there might be a possibility that you were in your office.
00:10:46I'm glad I was, Mr. Delfton.
00:10:48I want to be of assistance.
00:10:50But, uh, this is rather unusual.
00:10:53Unusual?
00:10:53That's it.
00:10:54That's why I need a lawyer.
00:10:58This is my last will.
00:11:00Really.
00:11:07Would you call that, uh, dangerous?
00:11:11Yes.
00:11:12Under certain circumstances, I would.
00:11:14I guess you think I'm eccentric.
00:11:16Maybe I am.
00:11:18But I wanted one member of my family, the eldest, to be head of the Deltas.
00:11:26When you have a new will written, I suppose it's my advice you want.
00:11:30Yes, yes.
00:11:31It would be better to specifically name your heirs in the amount that goes to each instead of merely stating,
00:11:38To my eldest surviving heir, I leave half of my estate.
00:11:43That's what I want to do, Mr. Randall.
00:11:45Fine.
00:11:46Well, then if you'll stop into the office about ten in the morning, we can...
00:11:50That may be too late.
00:11:52I don't understand.
00:11:54I've never been a man to let my imagination get the better of me, but, uh, I have a feeling
00:12:00that my life is in jeopardy.
00:12:06Who knows the contents of that will?
00:12:09To my knowledge, you're nobody.
00:12:10With the exception of my niece and nephews.
00:12:13I, uh, I told them about it a few days ago.
00:12:16But I don't think that any one of them would deliberately plan to get me out of the way.
00:12:22I wish you'd make a new will for me.
00:12:24Right now.
00:12:26Well, I'd be glad to, Mr. Deltas, if that'll make you feel any better.
00:12:30Have we some paper?
00:12:31Yes, certainly.
00:12:41Who is Winstead Comstock?
00:12:43Uh, he's my nephew.
00:12:45He's about 35.
00:12:4635.
00:12:47The eldest of the lot.
00:12:49And Humphrey Comstock?
00:12:52Humphrey is, uh, his younger brother.
00:12:57Now, uh, Marcia and Jasper Delfin, are they your children?
00:13:02No, no, no.
00:13:03I've never had any children.
00:13:05They were my brothers.
00:13:06He and my sister would kill them in an accident five years ago.
00:13:12Oh, I'll close it for you.
00:13:13Oh, I'll close it for you.
00:13:39Where do you live?
00:13:39Here, with me.
00:13:41Humphrey's the only one who's home.
00:13:44I want a clause written, that Marcia is to be completely disinherited if she marries Warren...
00:13:50Uh!
00:14:04Uncle!
00:14:12I heard a shot, Mr. Humphrey.
00:14:14He's dead, Wellington.
00:14:17Stand back.
00:14:18I've got you covered.
00:14:18Huh?
00:14:19Henriks, what are you doing here?
00:14:20What happened, sir?
00:14:21Mr. Delfin's been shot.
00:14:22You do it, sir?
00:14:23Well, no, certainly not.
00:14:25Well, let's get back before you become involved, sir.
00:14:26That's precisely what I intend to do.
00:14:29Perhaps it would be a good idea to pick up Mr. Randall's briefcase.
00:14:31But who could have killed him?
00:14:33I don't know, sir.
00:14:34I left him in here with Mr. Randall, a lawyer.
00:14:37Your uncle sent for him.
00:14:48Did you find any trace of the murderer?
00:14:50No, I didn't.
00:14:53You're Humphrey Comstock.
00:14:55Your uncle said you were at home.
00:14:56Yes.
00:14:57I'm somewhat dazed by the suddenness of this.
00:14:59It might be a good idea, sir, to phone the police.
00:15:03Yes, of course.
00:15:07Get me police headquarters.
00:15:16You're not going.
00:15:18Oh, no.
00:15:20Naturally, the police will want to question you.
00:15:22Yes, of course.
00:15:24Hello.
00:15:25Police headquarters?
00:15:27This is Humphrey Comstock speaking.
00:15:29Caleb Delfin was just murdered.
00:15:34What's the matter with you tonight, Marcia?
00:15:36You've been so quiet and preoccupied all evening.
00:15:39I don't exactly know, Warren.
00:15:40I...
00:15:41I suppose after we're married, we live scrappily ever after.
00:15:44I'll be all right tomorrow.
00:15:45Don't come in.
00:15:49Good night, darling.
00:15:50Good night.
00:15:59Good night.
00:16:00Good night, Marcia.
00:16:01Why don't you call today and give yourself some real sleep, Wellington?
00:16:03I...
00:16:03I have some very bad news for you, Miss Marcia.
00:16:07What is it?
00:16:08Your uncle, Mrs.
00:16:11I wouldn't advise you of going in.
00:16:23Take it easy, Marsha.
00:16:24Why, he's dead.
00:16:28I don't understand.
00:16:30He was feeling all right after dinner when I left him.
00:16:34Uncle Caleb was murdered.
00:16:39This is Mr. Randall.
00:16:41He was here with Uncle when they...
00:16:43Then you can tell us about...
00:16:45There isn't much to tell.
00:16:46We were seated at the desk and a bullet came through that window.
00:16:51Maybe.
00:16:55That's the police, Wellington. That's the men.
00:16:57Yes, sir.
00:16:58You started to say something.
00:17:01Oh, nothing.
00:17:04This way, gentlemen.
00:17:08I think you'd better hold that man, officer.
00:17:10He seemed very anxious to get away.
00:17:12I think I can explain that.
00:17:14What are you doing in this house?
00:17:16Your uncle sent for me.
00:17:17That's right.
00:17:18I was in the office when Mr. Randall got the phone call.
00:17:20As a matter of fact, I drove out here with him.
00:17:22Pardon me, Mr. Humphrey.
00:17:24But I happen to know your uncle was expecting him.
00:17:27Where'd the shot come from?
00:17:28Through that window, Captain.
00:17:30All right, Kelly.
00:17:31Take Graham and search the grounds.
00:17:32Sure.
00:17:33Where's the telephone?
00:17:44Hello.
00:17:44Is this the coroner?
00:17:46This is Breen talking.
00:17:47I'm up at the Delphine's.
00:17:49Yeah.
00:17:50Mr. Delphine.
00:17:52Right away.
00:17:53Goodbye.
00:17:54I'm sorry, old man.
00:17:56Forget it, please.
00:17:58Hiya, Breen.
00:17:58After this, don't drive so fast we couldn't keep up with you.
00:18:01Someday I'm going to be fortunate enough to lose you, newshounds.
00:18:04So Delphine was plugged, huh?
00:18:05That's just what we needed.
00:18:06A nice murder.
00:18:08Yeah, well, don't touch the butter, you understand?
00:18:10I think we'd better go to another room.
00:18:21Who done the job?
00:18:23Don't know yet.
00:18:24Stick around, Davis.
00:18:25See if these high binders don't get away with anything.
00:18:28Okay, Captain.
00:18:29Grab some pictures.
00:18:30I'll wake up the city editor.
00:18:49Take another little stroll?
00:18:51Why, yes, sir.
00:18:53It's a nice night for it, isn't it?
00:18:54Yeah.
00:18:55Come on, take a walk with us.
00:18:56Oh, I can't do that.
00:18:58I'm going in there.
00:18:59I'm Winston Comstocking.
00:19:00Well, now, isn't that a funny coincidence?
00:19:03That's just the way we're going.
00:19:06Oh, really?
00:19:06Yeah, come on.
00:19:07Here, don't do that.
00:19:08Come on.
00:19:09I don't know who done it.
00:19:11It's a mystery, I tell you.
00:19:14Now, what's the birdie?
00:19:23We found him outside.
00:19:25What's happened to my uncle?
00:19:27Hold the wire.
00:19:28Well, in case you don't know it, your uncle's dead.
00:19:31Dead?
00:19:33Well, he was quite all right when I left here.
00:19:37Where's Breen?
00:19:38In the other room.
00:19:39Breen?
00:19:40Who's Breen?
00:19:41Oh, you'll find out soon enough.
00:19:43Come on.
00:19:44They'd have a motive, particularly the eldest.
00:19:47Winston!
00:19:49We found him roaming around outside.
00:19:51I'm sure there's been some mistake, officer.
00:19:53Marsha.
00:19:54Who are all these men?
00:19:56Please explain where you've been.
00:19:58Hmm?
00:19:58I said, where have you been?
00:20:00Oh, out walking.
00:20:02What?
00:20:02Where's your hat?
00:20:03I presume you'll wear one.
00:20:06Oh, yes.
00:20:07I left it at the cinema.
00:20:09The palace cinema.
00:20:11The show has been over for two hours.
00:20:13Where have you been since then?
00:20:15I don't remember.
00:20:17I'm walking around.
00:20:20You didn't stop anywhere where we could check upon your story.
00:20:28No.
00:20:29Of course you're aware of the contents of your late uncle's will.
00:20:34No.
00:20:35That's a lie, Winstead.
00:20:36Why, he told us about it only a few days ago.
00:20:38See here, young man.
00:20:39Are you arguing with me?
00:20:41You realize that...
00:20:41I beg your pardon.
00:20:42Hmm?
00:20:43You seem to have all the matches.
00:20:45May I have a light?
00:20:46No.
00:20:47No, of course not.
00:20:49You're welcome.
00:20:50All right.
00:20:50Take him in, Kelly.
00:20:52Take him?
00:20:53Come on.
00:20:54You mean to say that you're going to take me to what you're called your who's gower without
00:20:58what I would call my mouthpiece?
00:21:00You got it, brother.
00:21:01I got what?
00:21:02My hat?
00:21:02Come on.
00:21:03Come on.
00:21:04Come on.
00:21:05Come on.
00:21:06Hello.
00:21:07Hello.
00:21:08Give me a rewrite, man.
00:21:08Quick.
00:21:10What?
00:21:10Have I got a story?
00:21:11What do you think I got?
00:21:12The St. Vitus dance?
00:21:13Hurry up and get me somebody.
00:21:13Quick.
00:21:14Hurry up.
00:21:23Well, you cleaned me in a half hour.
00:21:25Here you are, Broxford.
00:21:26Put it among your souvenirs.
00:21:29If I remember correctly, you owe me 10 grand.
00:21:31Oh, well.
00:21:32Maybe my luck will change.
00:21:34One way or another, I want your account straightened out by tomorrow night.
00:21:37By tomorrow night, you'll be owing me money.
00:21:40Well, I don't.
00:21:43Give Delphine another grand.
00:21:44Yes, sure.
00:21:45Gordon's waiting for you in the office.
00:21:47Gimme, gimme.
00:21:48Keep your shirt on.
00:21:49Oh, it's too late for that.
00:21:50Broxford's got it.
00:21:56Take it easy, kid.
00:22:07What's on your mind?
00:22:08I just talked with Red and Steve.
00:22:10It's about time they showed up.
00:22:12Where are they?
00:22:12In the tank.
00:22:14The cops picked them up at Randall's office.

00:36:06that one of us murdered uncle caleb
00:36:09yes i thought so too for a while
00:36:12the motive for the crime points so obviously in that direction though
00:36:15that i'm afraid someone's taking advantage of it
00:36:20have you any suspicions
00:36:23no not exactly
00:36:26tell me

00:40:57they were having it hot and heavy
00:40:58warren

00:41:48please don't worry
00:41:50i don't want to see jasper punished if he's innocent
00:41:52but don't forget

00:42:31it seems only natural in the circumstances doesn't it
00:42:34yes i know
00:42:35but your whole attitude toward me is different
00:42:37probably your imagination is working overtime
00:42:39possibly
00:42:42what is that man doing in the hall
00:42:43oh he's from the telephone company
00:42:46excuse me
00:42:53having a little trouble
00:42:54not a little
00:42:55i had a bad connection here
00:42:57yeah
00:42:57somebody yanked this cord out
00:42:59and stuck it back in place with chewing gum
00:43:03why yes
00:43:04i remember someone calling
00:43:05and telling me to hold the line
00:43:07but then we were disconnected
00:43:08well that's all i wanted to know miss hughes
00:43:10and thank you

00:43:27party of the second part
00:43:29now let's see
00:43:31good morning henry
00:43:34are you taking up law
00:43:35not exactly sir
00:43:36i was just looking up the penalty for one man impersonating another
00:43:39good old henry
00:43:40i wouldn't worry about that if i were you
00:43:42pardon me sir
00:43:43you don't mind my saying so but you have other work to do
00:43:46yes i know but there's something about this delphin case that fascinates me
00:43:50she's very charming sir
00:44:00i wouldn't be a bit surprised if he had something to do with the murders too
00:44:03maybe it's a good idea my imagination worked over time
00:44:06i only knew where i could get a hold of him
00:44:08why
00:44:09do you know
00:44:10i'm sorry but i can't help you get hold of him
00:44:17i'm so glad that you have my interest in heart captain
00:44:25thank you
00:44:31thank you
00:44:51I
00:44:51Guess you can't talk at Chuck. I see they get bill to
00:44:58I'll try spring
00:45:02Shadow get them Chuck didn't say they're both in with murder charges against them. Oh
00:45:07itchy trigger fingers, eh?
00:45:10You better go see what you can do tell those two mugs that burke webster's my mouthpiece not them there
00:45:16to keep their mouths shut
00:45:18Okay, brother
00:45:29I've got to talk to you. Well, hello there get inside quick
00:45:42Something wrong the police are looking for you what they found out that you're not just around
00:46:02I
00:46:02Guess it's dark enough to venture out Hendricks
00:46:04Did you promise miss Delf and you'd remain here sir? Yes, I know I
00:46:11Wonder if you'd mind my talking to you not as a servant but just man to man
00:46:16Oh, not at all sit down
00:46:20Well, I suggest that you stay undercover until this randall situation cools down a bit and then get out of
00:46:26town
00:46:28No, Hendricks
00:46:30I'm going to carry on as you so actually put it
00:46:34But you're wanted by the police now you have both sides against you
00:46:38You evidently forget that none of the gang leaders know who I am
00:46:42How long do you think you can keep your identity a secret?
00:46:47I never cross a bridge before I come to it
00:46:51Well, it's about time you started you want to get brought it you'd match your life against the chance of
00:46:56getting a man who killed your father, but
00:46:59Well, you're only defeating your own purpose
00:47:03Now don't think I don't appreciate your great loyalty and interest you still intend going out, sir
00:47:10I do
00:47:11Very well. I'll get your hat, sir
00:47:21Thank you
00:47:23And where do you think you're going with you, sir?
00:47:26Good old Hendricks
00:47:38You'd better let me do this alone, Hendricks
00:47:39I'm sorry, sir. I have a little carry-on to do, too
00:47:42Oh, that's fine, old boy
00:47:43But drive the car around to the alley behind Brossett's office
00:47:46Be careful and remember what I told you
00:47:48Yes, sir. Certainly, sir
00:47:49I'm sorry, sir
00:48:09Yeah
00:48:12Hello, Brossett
00:48:13Hi
00:48:17I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop in
00:48:20See the publicity here, Brossett?
00:48:22Yeah
00:48:24Have they caught the fellow that's impersonating him?
00:48:26No
00:48:28It's a funny setup, isn't it?
00:48:30Yeah
00:48:46Where's Randall coming back?
00:48:49Tomorrow, I guess
00:48:53You play golf, Brossett?
00:48:55No, not much
00:48:59I talked with Randall on the long-distance telephone
00:49:07I don't think you'll have much difficulty getting him to listen to reason
00:49:12Well, that's what you wanted, isn't it?
00:49:14I'll talk to Randall about that
00:49:18Okay
00:49:47Well, what'd they say for themselves?
00:49:49Well, not exactly
00:49:51Okay, see you later
00:49:52So long
00:49:53So long
00:49:53So long
00:49:59Well
00:50:00What'd they say for themselves?
00:50:02Webster talked to them
00:50:03They claim they didn't do the killing
00:50:05Berto bail them out tomorrow
00:50:07But I learned a couple of very interesting things
00:50:10Yeah?
00:50:10Yeah
00:50:11The shadow had nothing to do with it
00:50:19Well, there's something anyway
00:50:21What else?
00:50:22Tuck told Webster about old man Delkern's will
00:50:25It seems Jasper's in line for an eight million dollar cut
00:50:29Yeah, I just heard about it
00:50:32I thought maybe we could muscle in on it somehow
00:50:43Without that will, I guess the estate will be divided equally, huh?
00:50:48Yeah, I guess so
00:50:52The answer is more simple than I expected
00:50:55All we've got to do is to get that little piece of paper
00:50:59My friend Jasper will pay and pay plenty
00:51:11The wheel's probably at the house
00:51:13But if you hurry, you won't have any trouble
00:51:16Gordon tells me Breen and Kelly are at the station house right now
00:51:18Questioning Jasper
00:51:23Anything happening, Henrik?
00:51:28I say, Henrik
00:51:30What's news?
00:51:31What's news, sir?
00:51:33Why, Bross has sent a couple of men to get Mr. Delkern's will
00:51:35He figures he can make Jasper divide his share of the estate somehow
00:51:39Oh, he does, huh?
00:51:41Well, what are you going to do, sir?
00:51:42I'm going to the Delkern's
00:51:43Oh, you can't do that, sir
00:51:46Police will
00:51:47But I'm not going there as the man the police want
00:52:10Good evening
00:52:12That's a fire
00:52:16We want Delkern's will
00:52:22All right, over there, copper
00:52:31What's the meaning of this?
00:52:34I know the old man's will
00:52:35What?
00:52:36I haven't it
00:52:37Don't tell me, lady
00:52:38We know different
00:52:40It's upstairs
00:52:42I'll get it
00:52:42That's what I call a smart girl
00:53:00Hey, this was easier than I thought
00:53:02Let's get going
00:53:03Stay where you are, gentlemen
00:53:05Drop that gun
00:53:09Leave that paper in this house
00:53:14And he waited for the police
00:53:15And then disappeared
00:53:16What gets me is how the shadow knew what we had in mind
00:53:20Say
00:53:22What about that guy, Harris?
00:53:25Well
00:53:26He left here before we did any talking
00:53:28How about that guy, Harris?
00:53:57Hey, Harris
00:53:58Take a look at this.
00:54:02There must be some connection between that Guy Harris and the Shadow.
00:54:06You were quite right, Warren, when you said I'd changed.
00:54:09I didn't realize it myself.
00:54:11But I do want to be fair with you.
00:54:13Why, Marcia, you talk as though it's all off between us.
00:54:16That's exactly what I'm trying to say.
00:54:19Oh.
00:54:20I'm sorry.
00:54:21So am I.
00:54:22So you aren't going for this mysterious tall, dark and handsome, are you?
00:54:25To be honest, I don't know.
00:54:28Well, I guess there's no use in a hang around here.
00:54:32There's no need for you to hurry.
00:54:33Goodbye, Marcia.
00:54:35And good luck.
00:54:37You'll need us.
00:54:38Goodbye, Warren.
00:54:43Thanks.
00:54:44I couldn't help overhearing.
00:54:46It's a peculiar thing, Wellington.
00:54:47My competition happens to be a man of mystery.
00:54:50Most mysteries are souls, sir.
00:54:52Thanks.
00:54:52Good night.
00:54:53Good night, sir.
00:55:15Well, anyway, we definitely know Broth is a first-class blackmailer, sir.
00:55:19I feel certain we can get more on him than that, Henrik.
00:55:23Well, here's the alley, sir.
00:55:24Do you think we should return there?
00:55:26I know what I'm going to do.
00:55:28How about you?
00:55:28Maybe he'll come back.
00:55:30He wouldn't have the nerve.
00:55:31I know.
00:55:36There's the car.
00:55:37It looks like Harris.
00:55:42We'll give him a chance to get set.
00:55:44Turn out the lights.
00:55:50It's Park, sir.
00:55:52I guess they went out.
00:55:53Yeah.
00:55:54Well, they might come back.
00:56:05Come in, Gordon.
00:56:08Come in, Gordon.
00:56:27And I thought that that guy Harris was on the level.
00:56:30He had me fooled, too.
00:56:32It's a good thing for us that I checked up on him.
00:56:37Well, Sergeant.
00:56:38Hello.
00:56:39Ross are talking.
00:56:41Send a squad over here right away.
00:56:43I think we can pick up a man you'd be very interested in getting.
00:56:46Have the boys drive in the alley in back of my place.
00:56:48I'll meet them there.
00:56:50Anything wrong, sir?
00:56:52We're calling it a day, Henry.
00:57:23All right, sir.
00:57:23All right, the alley around the corner.
00:57:25Wait a minute.
00:57:36Follow that car.
00:57:47Put the car away, Henrik.
00:58:15Don't move.
00:58:17Oh, hello, Wellington.
00:58:18I'm here to kill you.
00:58:20Well, I rather expected you to come here, but hardly to kill me.
00:58:29Open it.
00:58:30If you even hint that I'm here, I'll let you have it.
00:58:43Hello.
00:58:44Hello, Brossett.
00:58:50I'm surprised to see you.
00:58:52I thought you would be.
00:59:01The shadow, eh?
00:59:03Oh, that...
00:59:03I wouldn't move if I were you, Mr. Shadow.
00:59:10I've got you covered, Welling.
00:59:14What?
00:59:15What?
00:59:18Keep him covered, Henrik.
00:59:19Yes, sir.
00:59:25And so...
00:59:27I was mad, I guess.
00:59:29I hoped to kill you.
00:59:30No.
00:59:31I wanted my son to get some of the dolphin money.
00:59:36Your son?
00:59:37Yes.
00:59:39Warren Barringer.
00:59:41My son.
00:59:43My son.
01:00:02Then I'm forgiven, Mr. Randall?
01:00:04There's nothing to forgive.
01:00:06I accomplished more by taking a vacation than I ever could have in the office.
01:00:09That's most generous of you.
01:00:11And thank you, Mr. Cranston, for upholding the name of Chester Randall.
01:00:16Good day.
01:00:23Well, I guess we'd better shove off, too.
01:00:25Oh, don't rush away.
01:00:26There's no hurry.
01:00:27You haven't forgotten you're coming to the house for dinner, have you?
01:00:30No.
01:00:31Dinner at eight o'clock.
01:00:33You could come earlier.
01:00:35Thanks.
01:00:35I will.
01:00:37Goodbye.
01:00:37So long.
01:00:45I found this bullet in the wall, sir.
01:00:48It must be from Brossett's gun.
01:00:50I thought you might be interested.
01:00:54Thanks.
01:01:07Where are you going, Henry?
01:01:09I thought I'd throw it away, sir.
01:01:12I wouldn't do that if I were you.
01:01:14There may come a time when we can use the shadow again.
01:01:34I thought I'd throw it away, sir.
