"[MUSIC PLAYING]" "OK, John, file this." "Right." "How many cases does a man have to file before he can call it a day?" "Anyone gets tired enough to ask that question, it's time he retired." "Well, it was time for me two years ago." "You know what keeps me sittin' in this chair, John?" "Sure, fellas downtown will push and old boy aside to boost somebody." "That's why you're still on your feet, John, instead of sitting behind a desk." "Somebody ask you a question, you give'em an answer." "Maybe I like being a flatfoot." "Oh ah... your boy's waitin'." "Did I tell ya?" "All right, send him in." "Don't be too long about it." "Time you got home." "Stop talkin' like a mother hen." "You want to see me, Captain?" "Yeah." "Come on in, Stan." "Sit down." "You were missin' three times last week when you were off assignment." "That could be." "Where were ya?" "A lot of writing on that paper." "Got an idea it tells you all you want to know." "Mm-hmm." "Monday, May 11, 2 AM, Detective Janacek seen coming out of Club 20." "Wednesday, May 13, 1 AM, Detective." "Janacek seen entering Club 20." "Thursday, May 14th..." "Hey, somebody's keeping tabs on me." "That's right." "That's right." "Well, who?" "Lombardi or the people behind him." "I don't want them to have anything on you, not even a silly report like this to hold against ya." "If you don't know why by this time, you oughtta be ashamed of yourself." "Well, I guess I'm ashamed then." "CAPTAIN:" "Stand up." "Come over here." "Sit down." "How's it feel?" "Well, it's better than the benches outside." "That's right ya dumb flatfoot." "I want to have that chair for good." "I want it to burn a hold in the seat of your pants, not mine." "Now keep a clean record, six months more, you can have that chair for your very own." "Well, I liked it so far." "Good." "Ah-tell me one more thing before I go." "What's the attraction at Club 20?" "Well, it's ah... not an official assignment." "I didn't figure it was." "She doesn't by any chance ah... play the piano, does she?" "Yeah, that's right." "Her name should be down there." "It's plastered all over the boards outside." "Name's Karen Smith." "Oh, Karen Smith." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "Good evening, Mr. Janicek." "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "Hiya Tony." "You're not gonna rustle up customers like this." "No, I don't need to this week." "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "Smoke pretty thick inside?" "Oh, drove me out in the street." "MILLIE:" "Good evening, Mr. Janicek." "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "Hello Millie." "You got room for this?" "MILLIE:" "Oh, I think we can find a place." "Hey, Tony?" "Yeah?" "Our friend Schuyler here?" "Same place, same time." "For long?" "So far." "Are you on duty tonight;" "Mr. Janicek?" "No, unofficial duty, Tony." "Oh." "Think I'll make a phone call before I go in." "Do you have change for a quarter?" "Right away." "Thanks." "Oh, I hope this isn't going to be one of those two-our obs." "I don't believe so." "And you don't know where she went?" "I see." "What time she go out?" "Yeah." "Look, do you know if she had any way of getting into his apartment while he's out?" "I see." "Well, I'll do the best I can." "No, I said I'll do the best I can." "OK, thanks." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "Thank you." "Thank you." "I'll join you in a minute." "Buy another drink and make Tony happy." "Don't make a move or I'll call a policeman." "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "Maybe you should." "KAREN SMITH:" "On second thought, I think a detective would do." "Oh, yes, I think he'll do very nicely." "Would you give me a cigarette?" "I'm out." "Yeah, sure." "I see Schuyler's out there." "Getting pretty persistent isn't he?" "Yes." "He sent me this note just before I went on tonight." "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "Mm-hmm." "Well, he's not very subtle, is he?" "When your family goes back that far, you don't have to be." "He has a Newport mind and racquet club morals." "Oh, the mind's not too bad at that, the rest is soda jerk level." "Yeah, I know." "Well, he's waiting for me." "I've got to give him some kind of an answer." "Yeah, I suppose you have." "How important is this to you, Stan?" "Look, supposing you did go up to his place tonight?" "Might get pretty rough." "You think you can handle it?" "Could one of the women on the force handle it?" "Yeah, but they're trained." "Ha." "A girl gets pretty good training just living in this town." "I'll come out alive." "Oh, Stan, listen, I'm not afraid." "But what is it all about?" "You've had this thing on your mind for days." "I see what it's doing to you." "Please, tell me." "No, I can't Karen." "Well, darling, I'll be working in the dark." "I don't even know what it is you want me to find out." "Well, I'll tell you this much, Schuyler's plot is something dirty." "That much we know." "Now we believe that someone's going to be waiting for him tonight in his apartment." "If he comes in there by myself, anything's liable to happen." "If he comes in there with you, he'll try to cover up." "That'll give us a chance to grab the person we want." "Oh, there's going to be a row then." "Not necessarily." "It might all be very polite." "Is this the job that'll land you in Beagan's seat?" "No." "But every little bit helps, though, doesn't it?" "Yeah." "Well, I'll wear your locket for protection." "It's my lucky piece." "Well, I hope you don't need it." "I won't." "Oh, Stan, it is so beautiful." "It was blessed by the bishop of Krakow, you know, over 200 years ago." "They say whoever wears it, never dies young." "That makes me feel much better." "Ah, I hate to do this, darling." "What?" "I haven't forgotten any of the holds you taught me." "Hey, hey, that hurts." "It's supposed to." "You never forget anything, do you?" "I try not to." "Ah." "Oh, that feels good." "It's supposed to." "You don't forget much yourself." "Oh, I guess I should go out and start drinking Mr. Schuyler's champagne." "Well, I'll meet you in your place, how's that?" "I'll try not to be too late." "The key's in the handbag." "I better go in now." "I should not make an entrance alone." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "I wasn't too long, was I?" "Oh, two scotches long, but it gave the champagne time to cool." "What I want right now is a cigarette." "You can have a carton." "In fact, if you really wanted, you could have a whole plantation." "Ha." "Expensive mood, aren't you?" "I'm waiting for your answer." "Did you get my note?" "Yes, I got it." "Should we crack open the champagne?" "You were gonna have your piano tuned before I came up." "It was done today." "Oh, good." "I'd like to try it." "Well, I think it is time for the champagne." "Waiter." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "Oh, aren't you extravagant." "You left all the lights on." "I don't remember." "I guess I must have." "Walls with a lovely room." "But then I expected it to be." "Won't you come into my parlor said the spider to the fly." "Is that a warning?" "You don't impress me as someone who needs to be warned." "Well, you don't know much about me, do you?" "Not a thing." "Would you like to tell me?" "Perhaps." "First let's see how honest you are." "Well, so far, so good." "It's in tune." "You can't start playing again until you've had something to eat." "You had it all laid out." "Aren't you confident." "Most of the time." "But not particularly with you." "There's something I can't quite make out about you." "I'm half Chilean." "I spent most of my childhood there." "Is this the bedroom?" "Yes." "You're inquisitive, aren't you?" "Ha." "No, suspicious." "I just want to be sure that supper's really laid out for me." "Oh, it was." "We're quite alone, I assure you." "Well, then the least I can do is nibble." "You were telling me about your family." "Well, there's not much to tell." "Both my parents are dead." "I have one sister, Emma." "She's crazy about Indian music." "She's been living in Arizona or New Mexico or something for three years." "I never hear from her unless she's broke." "And then I send her enough money to tide her over." "And I haven't heard from her in six months." "Are you married?" "No." "Good." "Ha." "You really give me the feeling that I'm your girl of the month club selection for May." "It I last very much longer than a month with you." "How long?" "Seven years." "I didn't here you come in." "I came in quite a while ago." "I was waiting for you to come home." "Forgive me for a moment, Karen." "Why, yes, of course." "I thought I made it plain that you weren't to come here again until I asked you." "I was merely to wait, is that it?" "Well, I've waited seven years." "I've got to ask you not to make a vulgar scene." "Your divorce came through a full month ago." "I've waited and waited for you to call." "I can see now why you haven't." "If I agree to meet you tomorrow, will that satisfy you?" "No, why should it?" "Why should I believe you?" "Walt, I've got to know." "I've waited seven years." "I'm 33 years old." "I never pleaded with you." "I never begged with you." "But now that you're free, I've got to know." "I've agreed to meet you tomorrow, and we can talk it all over then." "No, I want your answer now." "Don't make a fuss." "It's about time I did." "Walt, I think I better be leaving." "Oh, don't go, Karen." "I'd like you to stay." "Oh, yes, you'd like her to stay." "How much has he told you?" "Do you know all about Walter Schuyler?" "His social position in this house in Newport, but maybe he's forgotten to tell you about his great weakness." "Some men drink, others like to gamble." "But Walter Schuyler wouldn't do anything as common as that." "He just likes pretty women, something new and different every week or so, something bright and flashy to amuse himself with then he's bored." "Is that what you want?" "Well, if it is, stay right here." "If it isn't get out." "Get out now." "This is vulgar and insufferable of you." "Yes, yes, I think perhaps you're right." "I think perhaps this is the moment for us to talk." "I'll come back another time." "I'm sorry about this, Karen." "Ah, who is she?" "Oh, I'd rather not talk about her." "Come on, play something for me, and let's dispel of these clouds of blue, hmm?" "Not tonight." "The mood's broken, Walt." "It's getting very late." "You're far too lovely to let go without one good night kiss, at least." "Well, you've earned that much." "Well, we must let this girl go get her beauty sleep." "You don't need it." "Oh, yes I do." "And I always snore." "Hmm." "You know, I have an idea that you'd even snore beautifully." "Ha ha ha." "Good night." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "You don't snore beautifully." "Oh, well, when'd you get in?" "Just walked in." "What time is it?" "3:30." "Oh, well, what happened?" "Just what you expected." "There was someone waiting in the apartment when we got in, a woman." "She'd been waiting there for some time." "There was the scene, a rather bad one." "Then she left, and then I left." "Was her name mentioned?" "Huh-uh." "But I..." "I got some things." "She's ah... about 33." "She has red hair." "She's about 120 pounds." "She wore a suit, large felt hat, tan gloves." "She also drinks or takes..." "You don't have to go any further." "I know who it is." "Well, was it any help?" "I hope so, God help me, I hope so." "Oh, my darling, what is it?" "I can't explain it now, Karen." "Maybe I will someday." "I only know, you'll never have to go back there." "I don't have to go back?" "No never." "Good." "Now you're tired, and I'm tired." "And we both better get some sleep." "Your key's on the mantle there." "Thank you." "Good night." "Good night." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "I don't think I feel like going out tonight at that." "Don't be silly." "You have a date." "Well, what of it?" "I'm not going to walk out and leave you sitting there like that." "I'll be all right." "Besides Joe's counting on you, you know that." "Oh, he'll live." "If you'd come along with us, it'd be different." "No, I couldn't." "I couldn't." "Don't let's argue." "Do you mind Sally?" "I'd rather be alone, really." "I have to get some sketches out anyway." "Look, Anya, you've got to snap out of this." "The world hasn't come to an end, you know." "Hasn't it?" "It was wrong from the beginning, Anya, don't you see that?" "It was oil and water from the start, and no one's mixed them yet." "You don't have to keep it up, Sally." "It's over." "I slammed the door on everything when I walked out that night." "I knew it even then." "Good." "And that's what you've got to begin feeling about it." "He was mean and rotten and no good." "He played you for a sucker." "Now try saying that to yourself." "He was mean and rotten and no good." "SALLY:" "Say it again." "He was mean and rotten and no good." "SALLY:" "Now, how about it?" "Does it make you feel any better?" "Yes, I'll be all right now, Sally." "You go now." "I'll get to work." "That's better." "I'll see you later." "Good night, Sally." "Have a good time." "ANYA (VOICEOVER):" "He was mean and rotten and no good." "He was mean and rotten and no good." "He was mean and rotten and no good." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "[DOOR BUZZER]" "Hello Walt." "Well, this is unexpected but charming." "Come in." "Come in." "I just stopped by on my way to the club." "Walt, I dropped something here last night." "I wondered if you'd found it." "I have." "Oh good." "As a matter of fact, I was just examining it." "It's a very beautiful piece." "I know." "I was so afraid I'd dropped it in the cab or something." "No, no, no, no, no it's quite safe." "May I ah... ah..." "Put it on for you?" "If you like." "[DOOR BUZZER]" "Oh, I wonder who that could be." "It sounds like the service bell." "Now don't go." "I'll only be a moment." "Oh, darn this." "Clasp." "Oh." " Do you have a mirror?" " Oh, yes, of course." "Help yourself." "Thank you." "This is childish and melodramatic of you." "I know there's no reason why we can't talk this over like two grownup human beings." "I lived a time on your promise, Walt." "Well, are you trying to make this into a... a shotgun wedding?" "That's the only way it will ever happen, isn't it?" "SCHUYLER:" "A be reasonable." "I'm not entirely responsible for what's happened to you." "You... you've done a lot of it to yourself." "The answer is no, then?" "Anya!" "You're mean and rotten and no good." "[GUN SHOT]" "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "Walt." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "ANNOUNCER:" "Now that you've seen part one of the case of Karen" "Smith, let's turn to our Westinghouse program and Betty Furness." "Don't choose yours blindfolded." "Well, of course not." "That's a mighty poor way to pick out your new refrigerator." "BETTY FURNESS:" "Yes, and poor girl, she knows it." "She wants an automatic defrosting refrigerator." "But she's been reading claims and counterclaims for so long that her head is simply spinning." "Now, don't let this happen to you." "You keep your eyes open." "Get the only refrigerator in the whole world that gives you these three important automatic advantages." "First, a refrigerator that defrosts itself only when defrosting is actually needed." "Second, a refrigerator that disposes of defrost water automatically." "And third, a refrigerator that defrosts itself so fast that even ice cream stays hard." "And here it is, the Westinghouse Frost Free." "The only refrigerator in the whole world with these three great automatic advantages," "Absolutely the only one." "Now, you remember that first advantage?" "A refrigerator that defrosts itself only when defrosting is needed and not when a clock says so." "Well, the Frost Free doesn't need a clock, because it has this magic button that sends a signal the minute the frost begins to form here." "And the tiny amount of frost that has gathered is simply wiped away." "Now second, the Frost Free disposes of defrost water automatically." "There are no pans or jars or trays to empty." "The defrost water evaporates." "It simply vanishes as those words did just then." "And third, a refrigerator that defrosts itself so fast that even ice cream stays hard." "Well, all your foods here in the freezer chest stay safely, steadily frozen." "Yes, the Westinghouse Frost Free is the only refrigerator in the whole world with these three great automatic advantages." "And it's the only refrigerator with this magic button, the sign of the frost free system." "The only defrosting system that's completely automatic." "And you'll love the convenient Westinghouse three-way door handle too." "Look, it opens like this, like this, and like this." "And isn't it a beautiful refrigerator?" "And it will last you years and years and years." "Remember, you can be sure if it's Westinghouse." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "ANNOUNCER:" "We return now to Westinghouse." "Studio One, the Case of Karen Smith." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "Janicek back from Philadelphia yet?" "Yeah, got in about a half hour ago." "I wanna see him when I get through here." "Oh, ah... that woman's still waitin' for ya outside, Chief." "What's that all about?" "I don't know." "Grossman talked to her, said he thought you oughtta see her." "What's her name?" "Emma Smith." "Well, I guess we better have her in." "Stop all phone calls for a few minutes will ya please?" "JOHN:" "Come in Miss Smith." "Captain will see you now." "CAPTAIN:" "Miss Smith?" "Yes." "You're Captain Janicek." "CAPTAIN:" "Yes." "Won't you sit down?" "Thank you." "What's the trouble?" "Well, it's about my sister." "She's disappeared." "Well, that sounds like something more for missing persons rather than homicide." "Oh, yes, I know." "I went there first." "They asked me to come here to see you." "Well, let's hear your story." "Well, there's very little to tell." "I just got into town this morning." "I wired ahead to my sister to meet me at the bus terminal." "But when I arrived, she wasn't there." "Well, perhaps she didn't get your wire." "Oh, yes, but she did." "You see, when she didn't show up, I..." "I went to her place." "And the superintendent let me in and saw my wire on the table." "Well, that's less than seven hours ago, Miss Smith." "A lot of things can happen to keep two people from meeting each other in that length of time in a city this size." "Oh, I..." "I realize that." "But you see, when I went into the bedroom I saw the note." "It wasn't until I'd read this that I started to get worried." "I can't explain, Emma, but something rather terrible has happened." "I can't meet you." "I may not be able to see you for a few days, perhaps, longer." "But make yourself at home." "You can stay in the apartment as long as you like." "Love, Karen." "Karen?" "Yes, she's a pianist." "I don't know where." "Have Stan stop in, will you please?" "Now, for a few basic facts." "Ah..." "Name, Emma Smith." "Yes." "JOHN:" "Ah... address?" "Well, I've had no real address for some time now." "You see, I study Indian music." "And I've been living with some tribes in Arizona and New Mexico for years now." "Where were you born?" "San Francisco." "Date?" "December 10, 1926." "Are you older or younger than your sister, Miss Smith?" "Older, by 10 minutes." "We're twins." "We look alike, but we're not identical twins." "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "You want me, Captain?" "Yes, come on in, Stan." "There's someone here I'd like you to meet ah... named Smith." "Ah..." "Emma Smith, Lieutenant Janicek." "How do you do?" "CAPTAIN:" "This young lady is Karen Smith's sister, Stan." "You know Karen?" "Why, yes, I've known her about four or five months." "I knew she had a sister, but I never dreamed..." "We're twins." "Ah..." "Miss Smith just got into town this morning." "She went out to her sister's apartment where she found this note." "You don't happen to know where Karen Smith is at the moment, do you?" "No, the last I saw her was last night." "She played the early show, wasn't feeling well." "I took her home about 12:30." "Can I see the note?" "Sure." "Well, this is her handwriting, but... what do you want me to do, Captain?" "Well, it seems like a routine sort of a case." "The girl's probably got herself in some kind of trouble." "Suppose you take Miss Smith with ya, and see if you can't run it down." "All right, Captain." "We better start at the Club 20." "A new singer is going on tonight." "Karen will have to rehearse with her at 4." "It's almost 5 now." "We should start then." "Yeah." "Thank you, Captain, really." "Good luck to you, Miss Smith." "I hope you get this thing straightened out very soon." "I hope so." "Thank you." "Well, what do you make of that?" "Well, I think I know how to make $20." "How?" "$20 says they never find Karen Smith alive." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "[WHISTLING]" "Just how much longer am I supposed to sit around?" "Now don't get excited." "Please, don't excited." "Maybe it's the traffic." "Look, all I know is I'm supposed to go on tonight." "When... when is..." "When is she going to show up, for Heaven's sake?" "Now, how many times did I tell you, relax." "Just relax a little." "Look, I have my reputation to consider." "Yes, but I..." "I..." "I have a mortgage here, so we're not even even." "Oh?" "There they are." "What did I tell you?" "They'll be here, my darling, why do you do this to me?" "You know we had 4 o'clock rehearsal." "You come... what's the matter with you?" "What do you do to your hair?" "It's ruined." "I'm sorry." "I'm not Karen." "You're not Karen?" "Look, Tony, this is Karen's sister." "She's looking for Karen too." "Oh, for the love of Mike." "Now wait a minute." "Wait a minute, sweetheart." "What's going on here?" "Well, what's the matter?" "Well, Janicek, what kind of a trick are you pulling now?" "Look, now Tony, Tony," "What's going on." "This is no trick." "This is no trick." "This is Karen's sister." "She got in here this morning." "She's been looking for Karen all day." "Now, when did you last see her?" "I..." "I put her in a cab with you last night." "Have you heard from her since then?" "No." "Look, Schuyler had a table reserved here last night, didn't he?" "Yes." "Did he show up?" "No." "We better go over to Schuyler's apartment." "Do you mind?" "Not at all." "I'll be your guest." "Thanks Tony." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "[DOOR BUZZER]" "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "You better let me go in first." "Don't come in, Miss Smith." "What's happened?" "It's not Karen?" "All right, come in here." "Now keep quiet." "Don't look." "Come in here." "That's what the note meant. ah..." "But why, what has he done to her?" "Look, it wasn't your sister." "I was someone else." "Now sit down and be quiet." "EMMA SMITH:" "I'm sorry." "I've gotta make a phone call, Miss Smith." "Hello, Malloy?" "This..." "All right." "Pass this message on to him, will ya?" "Miss Smith and I are at ah..." "Schuyler's apartment." "He's dead." "I think he was shot some time last night." "No, no, no gun." "There's plenty of evidence." "It's clear who did it." "Yeah, we'll wait." "Why didn't you tell them who it was?" "You said you knew." "'Twas Karen wasn't it?" "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "Yes." "I knew it." "I knew it." "I knew it." "I knew it." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "Well?" "Ah, they got nothin' in her about Stan, yet." "But, they will." "They will." "Will it break'im?" "Like a tootsie roll." "Does he know?" "Does he know how it'll go for him?" "Ah, he hasn't been to bed for 48 hours." "But let him settle down for 20 minutes, and he'll know." "Stan's not exactly a newborn..." "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "Do you mind if I barge in?" "Yeah, come on in." "Anything new?" "Well, she left a trail a mile wide for about three hours." "Three people saw her waiting for a cab when she left the hotel about 2:30." "She paid the cab driver $20 to get her to the Newark Airport in a hurry." "Ah..." "She made reservations on flight 68 for Atlanta, and left $10 on the counter for the clerk." "He says she was wearing a bright green coat, ah... yellow hat, and carrying a small bag." "Got off at the Washington Airport to make a phone call." "And?" "And nothing." "The old cab driver fared a green coat all morning." "What's your next move, Stan?" "Well, I guess I'll type up this report, then I'll go over and see her sister." "Funny." "What?" "Oh, I don't know how it seems." "You go around for three hours scattering evidence." "And then walk out of the Washington Airport, wearing a green coat, nobody see's her." "Nobody's that lucky." "Well, where's it lead?" "Nowhere." "Just funny that's all." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "[DOOR BUZZER]" "Oh, Lieutenant Janicek." "Come in." "Hello Miss Smith." "Thank you very much." "Has anything happened?" "No." "Your sister got as far as Washington, that's all we know." "I don't know whether I'm glad or sorry." "Well, that's something we have in common." "Look, Mr. Janicek, I was just writing a note to you when you came in." "I happened to find a letter of Karen's here in the desk." "I thought you might like to have it." "Well, I would very much." "Here it is." "I think I better tell you I... read it through before I realized who it was for." "May I keep it?" "Why, yes, of course." "It's for you." "Thanks." "She was very much in love with you, Mr. Janicek." "Were you in love with her?" "Yes." "Doesn't help much knowing that I'm more responsible for what happened than anyone else." "Why?" "Well, I sent her up to Schuyler's apartment the first time." "She went back again." "I don't know why she went back again." "All I know is if she killed Schuyler..." "If?" "Is there any doubt?" "Why do you look at me like that?" "It's almost as if Karen were standing there." "It'd be almost easier if she were dead." "Would it help you to forget her?" "If she were dead, I mean." "I don't know, I..." "For your sake, as well as hers, I wish she were." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "Thanks, Miss Smith." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "[DOOR BUZZER]" "Oh, hello Stan." "Hello Sal." "Anya in?" "I'd like to see her." "Yes, she's asleep." "What kind of sleep?" "It's been terrible, Stan, for two days." "Every since she saw that first headline." "She's sick, Stan." "She has a terribly sick mind." "I'm worried about her." "Well, did you give her any of the medicine?" "She's had it three times." "I'm afraid to give it to her again." "Well, look, Sal, I've gotta ask her some questions." "Well, you won't get very far the state she's in now." "You could shout your head off." "She's got so much of the stuff in her, she just looks at you with that awful glassy stare, nothing registers." "Look, were you with her on Friday night?" "Most of the time." "Why?" "Did she go out at all?" "No." "She was feeling pretty terrible." "But she hadn't had anything all day." "She sat here for a while and did nothing." "Then all of a sudden, she remembered she was way behind with some designs she had to get out." "She got up and started working." "She didn't break off 'till after 1." "Yeah." "Well, I'll..." "I'll let her sleep the rest of the day." "But I gotta see her tomorrow, Sal." "Now, you tell her, will ya?" "Sure, Stan." "Good night." "OK." "Good night." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "Say, how soon you gonna be ready?" "KAREN SMITH:" "Won't be a minute." "Pour yourself another drink." "Ah, sure thing." "Want me to bring you one?" "KAREN SMITH:" "No." "I'm all right." "[WHISTLE]" "SAILOR:" "Boy, that was worth the wait, I see." "Oh, you like what you see?" "Yeah, I'd like more than that." "What?" "Well, we'll never get to the beach this way." "Oh, who cares about a beach?" "Oh, I do." "I'm dying to get out of here." "I want to feel the fresh air and hear the sound of the surf and..." "And what?" "You're impatient, aren't you?" "You'll find out when you get a little older that it doesn't hurt to wait." "How old are you?" "Old enough to make it very pleasant for you." "Let's get going." "Put off the radio, will you?" "Sure thing." "One more before we start?" "Oh, you baby." "What's your name, for real." "I told you, Smith." "What Smith?" "Karen." "Now, are we off?" "Let's go." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "So where does that leave us?" "No where." "Figure you were Karen Smith." "Where would you try to hide?" "New York's a big city." "Nah, she's known here." "She's had her picture on all these posters." "Where else?" "Any big city." "Ah, I guess it's not much use." "You know, I was thinkin' ah... what about... what about this... this Emma Smith?" "What about her?" "[BUZZER]" "I don't know..." "Yeah?" "JOHN (ON PHONE):" "Hey, I got a fella out here" "I think you ougtta see." "What about?" "JOHN (ON PHONE):" "Well, he's got quite a story." "Send him in." "We no sooner get started on one case, then another one breaks." "Yeah, that's right." "JOHN:" "Come on in, kid." "Here's the fella I was tellin' you about." "Says he took a girl to Jones Beach last night." "What's that got to do with me?" "Well, he says her na... she told her name was Karen Smith." "Oh." "Sit down, kid." "What's your name?" "George Potter." "What's your story?" "Well, it... it's kinda nuts." "I was standin' on the corner of 79th and Broadway about 6 o'clock." "All of a sudden this gal comes over to me and says, you're not havin' much fun, are ya sailor." "Well, I wasn't." "When I told her, she just laughed." "Neither am I she says." "First thing I know, she's taking me home, fed me some drinks, and we're off to Jones Beach." "We're havin' a swell time all the way down the aisle." "And then we get to the beach, we run out of cigarettes." "So... so she asked me if I'd go back to the car and get some." "Right up to then, she's laughing, havin' fun." "So, I go back to the car and get some cigarettes, run back down to the beach." "But when I get there, she's gone." "Gone?" "Yeah." "Right where we sittin', there's her clothes." "Everything, even her bag." "Well, we got'em all outside." "Go on, what'd you do?" "Well, the surf was running pretty high and there was a bad rip." "I told her before not to try it." "Well, not finding her, I ran up down the beach lookin' and callin'." "I began to get scared." "It... it looked like she might have done it on purpose." "But why?" "She wasn't a sad sack." "I don't get it." "You got all that stuff?" "Any identification?" "What he's tellin' ya is straight." "All belong to Karen Smith." "Mm-hmm." "You think she did it herself, huh?" "What else could it be?" "Yeah, I think so too." "What are your feelings on this, Stan?" "I think you better take the case from now on, Captain." "I don't even want to talk about it." "Case closed?" "Maybe, when we find the body." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "NARRATOR:" "Now let's pause for a moment and look at our program again." "Look, what a difference." "Yes, this is the size of your screen if you're watching on a 10 inch set." "Now, I don't mean to be rude about your set, but doesn't it look like a postage stamp compared to that huge screen?" "Now, the point is, I'm sure that you've been watching television long enough to appreciate how much more you'd enjoy watching it on a big 17 inch screen like this." "Just to give you an idea, here's how your picture looks on a 10 inch screen." "And here it is on the huge screen of this new Westinghouse set." "Some difference isn't it?" "Yes, a nice big screen like this with Westinghouse picture window television takes care of your picture." "Now let's see what takes care of your sound." "There, the speaker is right behind that grill." "Now this isn't a table model, so that means that there's plenty of room for the huge Westinghouse concert size speaker." "And here it is." "Now, no wonder you get such superior tone and so much better sound than on a speaker like this." "And this little speaker is what you get with so many sets today." "Now, here's something else important for you to remember when you're looking at television sets." "All Westinghouse sets give you more tubes, more circuits, and more power." "Yes, it's better here on the screen, because it's better behind the screen back here." "And this new Westinghouse single dial control is such a luxury too." "You just give the dial a single turn, like that, and you're tuned in perfectly." "And even more important, thanks to the miracle of Westinghouse locked in tuning, sound and picture come in locked together, just like that." "And they stay locked in tune." "Now just think of all you get with this new Westinghouse set, a big screen, big speaker, and big power and years of fine performance are built right into this set." "So it's a wise set for you to get right now." "Remember, you can be sure if it's Westinghouse." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "NARRATOR:" "And now let's return to Westinghouse Studio One and the case of Karen Smith." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "[DOOR BUZZER]" "Good morning, Mr. Janicek." "Hello Miss Smith." "EMMA SMITH:" "Come in." "Have you had your breakfast?" "Could I get you some coffee?" "No, no thank you." "I think you better sit down, Miss Smith." "It's not going to be easy to take." "Miss Smith, your sister was here last night in the apartment with somebody." "And they left here about 7 o'clock and went to Jones Beach." "Karen was here?" "Well, I..." "I don't believe it." "How do you know she was here?" "Well, the fella that she was with, from him." "You're sister committed suicide last night, Miss Smith." "No, no that's impossible." "She... she'd never do a thing like that." "The evidence is pretty conclusive." "I see." "Where is she now?" "Oh, the body hasn't been found yet." "It takes a day or so usually." "Oh." "That's... ah... ends things, then doesn't it?" "Yes, that ends them." "I'm sorrier for you than anyone, Mr. Janicek." "You said yesterday it would be better if she were dead." "It isn't though, is it?" "Is there anything I can do?" "That's what I came over here to ask you." "For Karen's sake?" "I don't know, I guess so." "Mr. Janicek, there's something I want to ask you." "May I?" "Why not." "Yesterday, you kept accusing yourself of being responsible for what happened to Karen." "Why?" "JOHN:" "Yes, I guess you have a right to know the answer to that question." "You see, Miss Smith, I have a sister." "She's older than I am." "But ever since we were kids, I've more or less taken care of her." "She's sensitive, high strung." "I didn't want her to come to New York." "Because I was afraid of what it might do to her." "But she insisted, because she didn't want to be separated from me." "And, well, she came here and began working as a designer." "She could have done better, I suppose, but she needed the money." "So and about seven years ago, she met a fellow named Walter Schuyler, fell in love with with." "Kept it hidden from me for about three years." "When I fin... finally found out, naturally I tried to make her break it off." "But she insisted that when he was free he was going to marry her." "So, time went by, and more time." "And as each day went by, I could see what the guilt and the shame and the uncertainty we're doing to her." "And finally she started to drink." "Just a little bit first and then more and soon the drink wasn't enough." "I tried to protect her, to keep it hidden." "I never told your sister about Anya." "Because I knew if I did that she'd try to help." "And that would only lead to one ugly scene after another." "But in the end, it drove your sister to the worst scene of all just to say Anya, which I did." "But because it caused your sister's death, which is something, k long as I live, I'll never forget." "You're a good person, Mr. Janicek." "But I'm afraid you're going to be a very lonely one too." "If you are, won't you just come here and sit?" "You don't have to talk if you don't want to." "Guess I've talked enough." "Thanks." "Makes me feel better." "Wh... why don't you bring your sister around too?" "I'd like to meet her." "I might take you up on both offers." "I'll be here if you need me." "Thanks." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "[DOOR BUZZER]" "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "Yes?" "Remember me, Miss Smith?" "Oh, of course, Captain Beagan." "How do you do?" "How do you do." "I wasn't expecting anyone." "No, I..." "I didn't suppose you were." "Is there something you wanted to ask me?" "Yes." "What?" "Stan Janicek." "Well, I know Mr. Janicek very little." "Won't you sit down?" "Thanks." "What about Mr. Janicek?" "Mr. Janicek had a brilliant career ahead of him." "He hasn't very much left now thanks to your sister." "I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Beagan." "So am I. I hate to see a woman do that to any man." "With Stan, it comes a little close to me." "I had a brilliant career planned for him." "You blame it all on Karen Smith?" "Yes, every bit of it." "And I hope she gets everything she deserves." "Hasn't she Mr. Beagan?" "Has she Miss Smith?" "She's dead." "Isn't that enough?" "No, no, not for me it isn't." "You're pretty young, you wouldn't know what I was talking about." "Well, I'm not so sure." "By the way, how old are you Miss Smith?" "26." "Sure?" "Oh, yes, of course." "That's funny I had the impression you were older." "It bothered me ever since the first day you came into the office." "It's been bothering me ever since." "It bothered me so much lately that, late this afternoon," "I made a long distance call to San Francisco." "Yes?" "Their story is that Karen Smith, Emma Smith, was born in 1919." "That would make you 32, Miss Smith." "Well, that... that's a woman's failing, isn't it?" "Yes." "Women have a lot of failings." "For one thing, their hair." "Red hair in particular, you know, red hair doesn't turn red later." "You're either born with it or... or you die it." "Do you die your hair, Miss Smith?" "Yes." "I don't believe it." "I think it's natural brown." "I suppose you want me to go with you now?" "Yes." "May I change my dress?" "Yes, can't very well escape through the window." "It's quite a steep drop." "I won't be long." "[DOOR BUZZER]" "Were you expecting someone?" "No." "[DOOR BUZZER]" "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "Well, this is a surprise, huh?" "My sister and I are just our having dinner." "Thought we'd drop up and..." "Karen?" "Oh, Stan." "Oh, Stan." "Karen." "Karen." "What is it?" "What happened?" "Miss Smith was just coming with me." "I'm booking her for the murder of Walter Schuyler." "Please let me go, Stan." "Oh, no." "No, she didn't do it." "I killed him." "She's innocent." "She was there." "She saw me do it." "Anya." "Stan, don't look at me like that." "I don't want any pity." "Take me, take me away quickly." "I want it to happen quickly now." "All right." "Come on, Miss Janicek." "DET." "STAN JANICEK:" "I'll come with you." "No." "No." "I don't want you to come, Stan." "It was a lovely dinner." "I wanted it to be the last thing I remember about you." "Oh, my darling." "Oh Karen." "Why?" "Why did you take the blame?" "Well, she's... she was your sister, and I thought if it was fin... found out, it would be the end of everything for you." "I thought I could help." "I also thought I could get away with it." "I didn't do very well on either count, did I?" "Somehow I always knew that it wasn't you." "Pour soul." "Oh, Stan, why didn't you tell me sooner?" "Yeah, I guess I made a mess out of things." "Only one thing I saved out of all this." "What?" "Oh, Stan." "May I have it back?" "Sure." "Put it on." "I couldn't bear to turn it in You know," "I guess the charm still holds." "Whoever wears it, never dies young." "Oh." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "ANNOUNCER:" "Before we look at next week's Westinghouse program, here is something well worth remembering." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "MALE VOICE ON COMMERCIAL:" "What's the trouble, honey, no hot water?" "Well, I don't blame you for being mad." "But what you need is a new Westinghouse automatic electric water heater like this." "Then you'll have all of the hot water you want 24 hours a day." "And never a moment's fuss or bother or attention from one year's end to the other, the electric way." "Water that's really hot." "Body of water hot enough to sanitize the dishes." "That's important to family health." "Plenty of hot water for the family laundry, full 150 degree hot water to make clothes germ free and dazzling white." "Maybe you wonder how this Westinghouse heater can give you so much water, such hot water." "Well, for one thing, it has [INAUDIBLE] heating elements just like your Westinghouse electric range." "And they're immersed right in the water." "Therefore, every bit of heat goes directly into the water." "Let your dealer show you the dozens of exclusive features, which give you more years of service, more hot water, at less cost." "And remember, a Westinghouse automatic electric water heater is certified." "Certified by a 10 year protection policy." "You can be sure if it's Westinghouse." "[MUSIC PLAYING]" "ANNOUNCER:" "This is Paul Branson saying good night for Westinghouse, makers of more than 40 million products for the American home." "We hope you'll be with us again next week." "Meanwhile be sure to see the new big screen Westinghouse television sets with extra power and see the world's only genuine frost free refrigerator, the Westinghouse." "And now until next week, good night."
