"Subtitles:" "Luís Filipe Bernardes" "Say, say!" "She's just getting out of the cab." "She'll be here in a minute, so shhh!" "Here she comes!" "Shhh!" "That's funny." "Martha, what's happened to the lights?" "Jeffrey!" "Surprise for Glenda!" "Hello, there!" "What's the party for?" "It's my own brand new idea, look." "Glenda." "We're going on a three-day cruise on the steamship Florida." "But where can you go in three days?" "That's the beauty of it." "You can't go anywhere." "You just go round, and round, and round." "That sounds entrancing." "It will be." "That's why I arranged the thing." "Look, Glenda, I want you to come with us." "Oh, I don't see how I can." "Now, come on!" "What is that?" "Where have you been?" "I've been marching with the boys." "To your blind Chowder and Marching Club." "What's that?" "That's my dad's organization." "9th Avenue, huh?" "Uh-huh, that's where I come from." "9th Avenue, with its crowds of dirty-faced little children." "How is your father?" "He's left, bless his heart!" "Strike up the band, someone." "I'll be with you in a second." "Glenda, wait!" "No, come on, we can talk as we go." "Hurry up, Glenda, we don't want to miss the boat." "You're a sight!" "I know it." "What a time I've had." "Martha, be sweet and get out." "I want to talk to Glenda, alone." "In here?" "Hm-hmm." "Of course!" "Now, Martha, don't tell me that when you were a girl ladies didn't entertain gentlemen in their bedroom." "Yes, but they married them first." "I'll be here waiting." "A scream will bring me." "A scream from whom?" "The way things are going nowadays it will be hard to tell which one would scream first." "I'll come whichever calls." "There, you see?" "Well." "Look at it." "'Three days at sea." "Destination unknown.'" "'Cabin A. Promenade." "Why, there are ticket for two." "For us." "Us?" "Yes, you see, Glenda?" "That's why I arranged the party." "I wanted to sweep you off your feet." "We can get married on board." "Oh, wait a minute, listen to me." "You know I love you, don't you?" "It won't interfere with your career." "Your season's over now." "We can have two or three months when you don't have a thing at the stage at all." "That isn't what I was thinking about." "I can't do without you, Glenda." "You're my whole life, everything, you know that, don't you?" "Well, for the past six months you've been here all the time." "Not all the time." "Naturally, I said to myself..." "He's in love with me." "And what did you say to yourself about yourself?" "I said to myself, 'There's the only man in the world for me.'" "All my happiness, my future, my dreams, everything... he's holding right here." "That's what I said to myself about me." "Oh, you darling..." "But wait a minute..." "There's something else I said." "I said to myself that I love him and I'd die for him." "I want to marry him more than anything else in the world and... that's the one thing I can't do." "Glenda, you're not married, are you?" "No." "But, Jeffrey, there's.... there's something I ought to tell you." "Oh, I know." "When I was seventeen we had the prettiest waitress..." "I don't want to hear about that." "And I don't want to hear about yours." "But Jeffrey, I lived with him." "I don't know why I did." "I thought it was brave, I believed I belonged to myself but... like a little fool, I was wrong." "Glenda, for a man in love, I'm gonna make a very funny gesture towards you." "Shake." "Now that's that." "Go and get dressed." "No, wait." "Just... just stand there a minute." "Help!" "Martha!" "Help!" "I'm disappointed in both of you." "Come on, darling, hurry up." "We'll all be waiting." "Do I look beautiful?" "You're no great beauty." "Will this do?" "Oh, yes, anything, anything." "Oh, I'm so happy." "He's so wonderful, and generous and kind." "Martha, I tried to tell him, but he wouldn't listen." "He didn't want to know." "He wouldn't let me tell him about..." "Oh, it's that way now." "You won't be married six months before he'll want to know what you did with the 50c he gave you the week before last." "Oh, you..." "Stop it!" "Well, aren't you gonna wish me happiness or anything?" "You're like my own child." "The very blood of my heart." "Happiness, is it?" "I pray for everything there is in the world for you." "Oh, stop it!" "There's the telephone." "Hello?" "It's him!" "Leo Young." "He's back." "What'll I do?" "He says he must see you right away." "But that was over months ago." "I can't see him." "I can't see him!" "Tell him so, then." "Hello, Glenda." "It's Leo." "You'll never guess where I am." "I've taken the penthouse right above your apartment." "Two stories up, darling." "He's in this house." "What?" "He's taken the penthouse just two floors above." "He wants me to go up there and see him now." "Oh, Martha, what shall I do?" "What shall I do?" "Don't see him!" "She's hung up." "Now wait a minute." "Leo, I'm afraid you'll have to forget women for a while." "I brought you back from Europe because I need you." "You know you told me your affair with Glenda was over." "I thought it was." "But the more I was away from her, the more I wanted to see her." "That's why I had you get me this penthouse." "Steve, it's going to begin all over again." "My dear old fellow, in all the ten years we've been together" "I've never interfered in your love life." "I mean lives." "We're in a jam." "There's a dozen cases piled up in the office... and I can't do it all alone." "Give that a little thought, will you?" "Okay, sweetheart, I'll attend to it." "Steve, I'm glad to see you and I'm glad to be back." "But give me tonight." "I must see Glenda." "Oh, for the love of..." "I know, I know... but I promise you I will be sane in the morning." "Right." "In the morning, and at nine." "At nine." "Right." "I know, Leo." "But I won't come." "We separated six months ago and that was final." "Oh no, it wasn't." "We only thought it was." "Look here." "I'm only two stories above you." "Come on up and talk, won't you?" "I can't!" "I don't want to see you." "Besides, I have people here." "Leo, why can't you let me alone?" "I don't want to let you alone." "I must see you." "If you can't come up to me, I'll come down to you." "You wouldn't do that." "Well, you'd better come up, Glenda." "All right, but it's to settle this thing definitely and forever." "Leo, you and I are through." "Oh, we'll settle that when you get here, my darling." "If they should call for me, tell them I'm still dressing." "I don't want anybody to know I'm gone." "I'm mad about you!" "I'm sorry." "I'll make you glad." "I'm sorry..." "I'll make you glad..." "Leo, you mustn't." "I came all the way back from Europe just to see you." "I'm never going to let you go again." "Leo, I'm not coming back." "But you are back." "I love someone else." "I don't care." "I'm going to keep you." "If you didn't care, what did you come up here for?" "I wanted to tell you this in a nice way." "I'm in love with another man and we're going to be married tonight." "Now, please." "I must go now." "You're not going." "And now... let's have this out." "Who's the man?" "Jeffrey Baxter." "Baxter..." "Bax..." "Oh, you mean that black-haired boy." "Well, what can he give you that I can't?" "That isn't it." "We love each other." "Did you tell him about me?" "He wouldn't let me." "Oh, that kind, eh?" "Yes, that kind." "Oh, Leo, please open the door." "I've got to get back there." "Leo, give me the key!" "Very well..." "Oh, no!" "You can't keep me here." "But you are here!" "Just because I let you leave me once... doesn't mean I'm going to make a fool of myself that way again." "No!" "I've been dreaming of you for months." "I've been thinking of nothing else." "You're mine!" "You might as well make up your mind to that." "Wait a minute!" "Glenda!" "You might fall down that fire escape." "You win." "Here." "Here's your key." "And that's that." "Leo, what good is this going to do you?" "You're acting like a madman." "All right, say I'm a madman." "But I'm not going to let you marry that man." "I'm not going to let you marry any man." "You're mine!" "I'm not yours!" "I'm going to marry Jeffrey and there's nothing you can do to stop it." "Oh, isn't there?" "Hello?" "Is Maxie there?" "Oh..." "This is Leo Young." "Get a hold of him right away and have him call me back here." "Vanderbilt 39969." "Yes." "You don't remember Maxie, do you?" "He's a friend of mine." "You saw him once, Glenda." "One night when we were going down to the Ritz a man spoke to me that you said looked like a murderer." "And you wanted to know where I'd met hem." "That was Maxie." "Oh, try to remember, Glenda." "It was all in the papers." "I mean about Haskins." "Maxie did that for me." "I simply told Maxie that I didn't like Haskins." "I didn't have to tell him anything more." "He's such a smart boy." "Well, they found Haskins the next morning in the country." "With a knife in his back." "There were no fingerprints on that knife." "There wasn't anything to show who did it." "Nothing." "Just that dead body." "With a knife between his shoulders." "Oh, it won't do you any good to scream, my dear." "Now, are you going to stay here?" "Then there was Talbot." "Hello?" "Oh, hello, Maxie." "Yes, I just got back today." "Look here, are you busy tonight?" "That's good." "Because there's a man I don't like very much..." "Oh, you can't!" "Leo, stop it!" "Stop it, stop it!" "It's all right, Maxie." "Lady's just a little hysterical, that's all." "Where is he?" "Why, he's at a party in this building." "The Sackville on Park Avenue." "I'll do anything you say, anything, only don't..." "Oh, Leo, you couldn't!" "He's a tall, handsome, black-haired young man, Maxie." "Yes, he should be coming out in about an hour." "Think you can make it?" "Well, that's good." "Now listen, in case you miss him his name is" "Don't!" "Leo, I promise you..." "I'll do anything, anything, only don't." "I'll give him up." "I'll come back to you." "You bet your life you'll come back to me after he's gone for a ride." "Oh, no!" "I won't let you!" "You can't..." "Hello, Maxie, you still there?" "Yes, we're having quite a time up here." "I won't let you!" "Now listen, get this." "I won't..." "I won't let you!" "Stop it!" "They'll hear you." "I can't stop it." "I can't!" "I have to laugh!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Tell me, what's happened?" "I killed him." "He was going to kill..." "Never mind that now!" "Get out of that dress quick." "Get those things off, quick." "I've been trying to get Vanderbilt 39969 for the last twenty minutes and I get a busy signal all the time." "Now that's not possible." "Yes, try it again, will you?" "Sorry, sir." "We keep getting the busy signal." "I'll try them again for you." "Vanderbilt 39969 is probably off the hook." "Better put on the howler." "I killed a man." "He was going to kill him, wasn't he?" "All in a minute." "Everything's gone." "All my happiness." "Call Jeffrey." "I've got to tell Jeffrey." "You can't tell Jeffrey!" "I must!" "Oh, Martha." "I wanted my happiness so much." "And now it's all gone." "Nothing's gone." "How would they find out?" "You'll be away." "I know!" "For three days." "For three days I'll have him all to myself... they can't get me." "They can't find me." "I'll take that much of it." "No matter what happens, I'll take that much of it." "Then, if they catch me, I'll..." "They won't catch you, child." "Leave it to Martha." "Why, I've taken care of you since you were 5 years old." "Do you think I'd let anything happen to you now?" "Well?" "Come on, Glenda." "We'll miss the boat." "Go on, child." "Take your happiness." "She's coming, sir." "Oh, I can't, I can't." "Do as you're told, child!" "Do as you're told for once in your life!" "Glenda!" "You're beautiful enough to make a man want to die for you." "Would you do that for me?" "Certainly, why not?" "Come on, girl, grab." "So long, Martha." "Oh, my poor lamb." "Please put some brains into this old head of mine... for the sake of that child." "Hello!" "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "Mr. Young doesn't answer the house phone." "He's got a private line up there, though." "Maybe he's talking on that." "Well, when he ain't busy, tell him it's Maxie wants to speak to him." "How much time have we got?" "Just about time enough to make it." "Pier 51." "North River." "Okay!" "Have fun." "See you down there." "Pier 51, North River, driver." "You know how to get there?" "All right, follow those two cabs." "See if you can get Mr. Young for me, will you?" "I've been phoning him for the last half hour and he doesn't answer." "I've been ringing him that long myself." "But I can't get him either." "That's queer." "I'd better run up, I guess." "And what are you doing here?" "Me?" "Yeah." "I'm trying to see the boss." "I was talking with him on the phone... and then he stopped and I heard a funny noise so I thought I'd better come over." "Well, you better get out of here and stay out of here." "All right, but I was worried." "Go on." "Take me up to Mr. Young's apartment." "Yes, sir." "Leo!" "What's the matter?" "Open the door." "Leo!" "Open the door!" "Leo, open the door!" "Leo!" "Leo!" "Get the police." "Phone District Attorney Clark." "Ask him to come over here right away." "Tell him I want him." "Yes, sir." "Happy?" "You wait right here, darling." "Here comes District Attorney Clark, sir." "Hello, Steve." "Somebody killed Leo." "Look at him." "As fine a man as ever lived." "He's been like a brother to me." "Yes, I know." "Well, Inspector, what have you found out?" "We only just got here." "What did they kill him with, Doc?" "Darned if I know." "Something sharp and heavy." "Say, this fellow's got the thinnest skull I've ever seen." "Very interesting." "Anyhow, he's dead." "Want any more?" "No, I guess not..." "Just a minute, doctor, please." "Do you mind if I ask him a few questions, Bill?" "No, hop to it." "Look at that, doctor." "Hm, that's funny." "I didn't notice that." "Friend of yours, eh?" "Yeah." "Was he given to that sort of thing?" "Say, what do you mean?" "Rouging his lips." "See that cloth?" "Lip rouge." "Where did he get it?" "From a woman's lips, of course, where do you suppose?" "And if it hadn't been for that, I'd have forgotten all about it." "When I left here an hour ago a girl was coming up to see him." "A girl who lives in this very house." "What girl?" "Glenda O'Brien." "They'd quarreled... and she was coming up here to make it up with him." "How do you know that?" "I was here when he phoned her." "She came up here, they quarreled, and she killed him." "Nonsense, Bessemer." "I've known Miss O'Brien for years." "I know her father." "She's no more capable of committing murder than you are." "I just don't believe it." "Well, how do we know what she is?" "Just one of Leo's girls?" "Do you think I'm going to stand here and take it?" "That I'm not going to do anything about it?" "I tell you Leo was like a brother to me and whoever killed him is going to pay for it." "Naturally." "That door was locked on the inside, we broke it down." "Whoever got out of here went down the fire escape." "And who else knows about the fire escape?" "There she is living two stories below." "There's a fire escape to every apartment in every corner in the building." "What are you going to do, Clark?" "Just stand here and fight me on this?" "There's your clue." "There's the direct thing." "And she had a motive." "Say, Bill, help me out, won't you?" "We can question this girl, can't we?" "Yes, we can do that." "Bring the girl up here." "All right, Mr. Clark." "I'll go by the fire escape." "Maybe I can surprise them." "Come out of there!" "Come out, or I'll kick the door down." "Where's Miss O'Brien?" "She's out." "When will she be back?" "I don't know." "What did you do with that dress you took in there?" "What dress?" "Come upstairs." "The District Attorney wants to talk to you." "Glenda, dear, I've got bad news for you." "The captain can't marry us." "They passed a new law forbidding it." "Let's get ashore and get married right away." "Oh, no..." "What's the matter, darling, don't you want to marry me?" "Oh, it isn't that, but we planned this trip." "Don't you see, dear, I want to take this trip with you." "All right, sweet." "The moment we get ashore we'll get married, huh?" "If you want me to." "Darling, let's be gay and happy." "Let's have three days... and we'll forget everything in the world but just you and me." "All right, and when we get back, we'll get married, settle down and live happily ever after, huh?" "Ever after." "Come along." "All ashore." "All ashore going ashore!" "Are you Miss O'Brien's maid?" "Yes, sir." "Where is she?" "I guess by now she'll be passing Sandy Hook." "She and her young man have gone on a three-day's cruise... on the Florida." "They're going to be married." "Did you know that man?" "Yes, sir." "Did he telephone Miss O'Brien tonight?" "Yes, sir." "What did I tell you?" "What did he want when he phoned Miss O'Brien?" "He wanted her to come up and talk to him." "What time did she come up?" "She didn't come up at all." "You're sure?" "I swear it on a stack of Bibles a mile high." "When she wasn't with me she was with her guests." "All the time." "You're sure of that?" "I'm swearing to it." "Now then, Bessemer." "Miss O'Brien's dress, isn't it?" "Yes, sir." "Blood stains, aren't they?" "Yes, sir." "Well, what more do you want?" "I heard him send for her to come up here, we found him dead... and there's her dress covered with blood." "If she didn't kill him, where did those blood stains come from?" "That's where they came from." "I was fixing her dress and I cut my wrist." "Of course she couldn't wear it anymore." "You don't believe those lies, do you?" "You say she was here, this woman says she wasn't." "You say she killed Young, this woman says she didn't leave her all evening." "You say those stains are Young's, but she says they're hers." "Can I go before a jury with anything like that?" "All right." "You can go downstairs now." "You'd better leave that here." "Better be mighty careful of it." "It cost 250 dollars." "You're not gonna drop this case, are you, Clark?" "The police will handle it." "But I tell you..." "Steve, everything you've told me has been wrong." "You can't prove anything." "I'd like to help you." "I will help you anyway I can." "But you can't ask me to make a fool of myself." "I tell you, Bill, that girl killed Leo." "Bessemer, the police will give you all the help in the world." "If you think this girl killed your friend, all you've got to do is bring me some evidence." "Something I can take into court." "All right, Clark." "All right." "That's just what I'll do." "There now, you're all right." "Am I?" "How much do you love me?" "I'd go miles and miles on my hands and knees over broken bottles just for a little kiss." "Well, you don't have to." "I'm here." "Oh, don't let me go!" "Don't ever let me go!" "Come in." "The bar is now open." "Well, how does that sound to you?" "Come on, let's go." "The bar is now open." "The bar is now open." "The bar is now open." "Well, good night, dear." "We don't have to be as formal as that." "Come in." "Good night, sweet." "Happy dreams." "And I want to say that the Congress which makes it illegal to be married at sea was made up entirely of lame ducks." "Good night, darling." "Good night." "See you in the morning?" "Early?" "Good night." "Police boat coming alongside now, sir." "Stand by." "Stand by, sir." "Slow ahead." "Slow ahead, sir." "This way, sir." "Lower her!" "Darling, what's the matter?" "I thought you were in bed an hour ago." "I couldn't sleep." "Dear, you're trembling." "You're all cold." "Come on, let's go inside." "Come in." "Steward, see the captain gets that immediately." "Yes, sir." "And that's how much I love you, darling." "And the first time I saw you I said..." "Jeffrey, you're getting a conceited look on your face." "I'm not going to tell you what I said." "Well, how am I going to know how much you love me?" "Where am I?" "In my arms." "And where are we?" "In my cabin." "Is there anything more for me to tell you?" "Oh, you darling." "Jeffrey, I..." "I don't want to put off anything." "I want our three days of happiness on this ship." "Just as we planned it." "Just as if that was all we had." "The three days were all we had in our whole lives together." "Sweetheart." "Three days meant three hundred days... three thousand days." "Days and nights on end till the rest of our lives." "I shall be glad to do anything the District Attorney wants." "There's only one thing more, Captain." "If you'll give me a note to your wireless operator to hold back some news in your morning paper." "This is a pleasure cruise." "We haven't any daily paper and no bulletins are issued." "People are here to have a good time not to be bothered about what's happening on shore." "That makes it even better." "Thanks very much." "A pleasure, I assure you." "Everything all right on all decks, Mr. Parker." "Come in." "Good morning, darling." "How are you, sweet?" "How about three times around the deck before breakfast?" "I'd love it." "Good, come on." "Well good morning!" "Fancy seeing you here." "Yes." "Why, Steve Bessemer." "What are you doing on board?" "Taking a trip." "Oh..." "Oh, I beg your pardon." "You two don't know each other." "Oh, I know Mr. Bessemer by sight." "How do you do, sir?" "This is Jeffrey Baxter, Steve." "He's a lawyer, too." "Very glad to know you." "I'm glad to see you, sir." "Walk with us, won't you, Steve?" "We'd love to have you." "Yes, I'd like to." "Wonderful day, isn't it?" "Marvelous." "I expect we're all going to have a wonderful time." "I'm sure we will." "You can imagine what it means to me after the way I've been cooped up in my office for the last few months." "Have you heard anything from Leo Young lately?" "What?" "I was asking if you'd heard anything from Leo lately." "No." "He's in Europe, isn't he?" "You ought to know." "Doesn't he write to you anymore?" "I... er..." "No, not anymore." "Oh..." "Fine fellow, Leo." "Perhaps you don't know him, Baxter." "Just slightly." "I only met him once." "Oh..." "Well, I think I'll run down and have my breakfast." "I've enjoyed seeing you both." "Hope we see lots of each other on this trip." "I hope so." "Good bye." "Good bye." "Yes, sir?" "I'm Stephen Bessemer." "Did the captain send you a note about me?" "Oh, yes, sir." "Well, take this message, please." "Mind writing it down, sir?" "I don't want to send a message." "I want to receive one." "Understand?" "Oh, yes, sir." "Be sure and put it on the receiving blank." "And no carbon copy, please." "Stephen Bessemer, Steamship Florida." "Here I come, darling." "How about the diving?" "Great!" "Oh, look!" "Here I come!" "Why, hello, Evelyn." "Hello, Steve." "Have you seen Glenda?" "Why, yes, there she is in the pool." "That's funny, I didn't look here." "Thank you." "So long." "Bye." "Glenda." "Can I see you just a minute?" "I have a message I want to show you." "A message for me?" "No, no, no, it's a message to me, but you're mentioned in it... and I thought you might like to see it." "Come on up." "It'll only take a minute." "Excuse me, darling." "Go on, dear." "A message about me?" "I don't understand." "You will when you read it." "I don't understand it." "I didn't either." "That's why I brought it to you." "Naturally, when I read it I supposed the last time you saw Leo you had a row about something and hit him on the head with something." "I haven't seen Leo for six months." "Of course it's a trick." "But if he's able to forge telegrams, he couldn't do that without police help." "Oh, I knew they'd suspect me." "But if he suspects me, why doesn't he say something about it?" "Why doesn't he come out with it?" "How can I keep it from Jeffrey?" "Why should I keep it from him?" "But if I tell him now, when we promised each other these three days." "I haven't any right not to tell him." "But if it isn't true, if they haven't found out anything... then why should I cause Jeffrey all that unhappiness?" "If I only knew what Bessemer was thinking." "If there was some way I could find out what he's planning to do." "Oh, Mary of all Compassions, help me!" "Show me some way out of this." "Now, when you see me wipe my forehead with my handkerchief" "you'll say that, won't you?" "Why, sure, anything to oblige, Mr. Bessemer." "I think it'll be much more fun anyway." "Sure, that's just what I mean." "Good, I'll wait for your cue." "Fine." "Ladies and gentlemen!" "Ladies and gentlemen." "May I have your attention for a minute, please." "I have been asked to conduct a mock trial for breach of promise." "A very beautiful girl is supposed to be suing a great banker for 3 million dollars." "Of course the only difficulty is to find a banker with any money." "Now, this is your jury." "Ladies and gentlemen, will you please be seated." "Now," "I think we ought to draw to decide who the complainant will be." "So I've written down the names of 25 or 30 of the most beautiful women on this ship" "I'll put the papers in my hat and I think we ought to leave the whole thing to chance." "Now, if everybody is agreeable to this, I'll draw." "Go ahead!" "Draw!" "According to chance, Miss Glenda O'Brien has been selected as the complainant in this case." "Say, Jerry, see if you can find Glenda, will you?" "Okay!" "Fine." "Oh, George!" "Yeah?" "What do you want?" "We're holding a mock trial for breach of promise." "Come on um and preside, will you?" "Sure, I'll be right up." "But I'm not dressed for it." "That's all right, come on up." "Excuse me, girls..." "I'll finish my lesson in a few minutes." "Well, now we're getting somewhere." "Here's Judge Osgood." "Is that the jury?" "Yeah." "Sure we're the jury!" "Yea, we're the jury!" "Oh yes we are the jury..." "You sure got yourself a mock jury." "Gosh, I wish I had an overcoat or something." "We don't want to have you die." "Will you lend this to the judge?" "Yes, if I'm going to stay and watch it." "Watch it?" "I'm going to make you the principal witness." "And very appropriate, too." "The judicial ermine." "And the bar." "Make way for His Honor." "Order!" "Order!" "Order in Court!" "Now, you're the witnesses." "And when I question you, you can answer anything you please." "I do hope you'll ask me things, Mr. Bessemer." "I just love to be questioned about things." "Don't you love it, Tony?" "Well, that all depends on the questions." "Oh, Mr. Bessemer." "Yes?" "I think I'll testify that I knew him, too." "And that he wrecked my life and that I want part of that money, too." "Would that be good?" "That's just dandy." "Here comes the girl, here comes the girl..." "Here comes the girl, now here comes the girl..." "Here comes the girl, here comes the girl." "What's happening?" "It's a mock trial, Glenda, and you're elected." "Oh, no, I couldn't do anything like that." "It's only for a breach of promise, you're supposed to be suing a great banker, who hasn't any money, ...for 3 million dollars." "How would I know anything about..." "Come on, I'll be the lawyer and win the case for you." "Oh, no..." "It'll be fun." "Come on." "All right." "What do I have to do?" "Well, here's the witness chair." "It's funny, isn't it?" "And I'll open court." "Objection overruled." "Order!" "Order in the Court!" "Order in the Court!" "Hey, wait a minute, darling, you're supposed to be sad, you're supposed to have a broken heart." "You're killing me." "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury." "I'm not going to make a speech." "Fine." "My poor, broken-hearted client will tell her own story." "Buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz..." "No, no!" "Not that!" "Very well, then." "What is your name?" "Maisie Mazuka," "Occupation?" "I have none." "I have no money." "I'm starving." "Oh, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, did you hear that?" "Judge!" "This is breaking my heart." "I was once sued for 20,000 and I had to marry the girl." "Just a moment!" "Just a moment, he's right." "This is no good." "Let's do a murder trial." "What do you say?" "Let's do a murder trial." "Good!" "All right, now, all together!" "We want murder!" "We want murder!" "We want murder!" "We want murder!" "We want murder!" "All right, we'll have a murder trial." "No, I couldn't do that!" "Jeffrey, I couldn't do that..." "Nonsense, I'd like to see anybody convict you when I'm defending you." "Now, this changes my status." "I'll have to become the District Attorney." "Now, we'll suppose that we've progressed this far." "I, representing the State, have shown that a certain rich, prosperous lawyer named Leo..." "Isn't that funny?" "I can't think of another name for him." "Well, let's call him Smith." "That this Leo Smith has been found dead in his penthouse apartment with his head battered in." "Jeffrey, I don't want to do this." "Come on, don't spoil our fun." "I can't..." "Why not?" "I should think you'd enjoy it." "After all, nothing could be further from your life than murder." "Of course, if you have any personal reason..." "Come on, Glenda, be a good sport." "Let's go through with it." "We'll have some fun." "Now, we've shown there's a young lady... whom Smith loved very dearly." "But he had been away for six months." "And during his absence the young lady had fallen in love with a younger, better-looking man, and had planned to marry him." "We have shown that Smith phoned the young lady and asked her to come up to his penthouse apartment." "That she went up, that a quarrel followed... and a few minutes, or an hour, or, anyway, sometime later... after the young lady left the apartment..." "Smith was found... dead." "Say, this is going to be fun." "Very well, then, that is the case." "Your name is Maisie Mazuka?" "Now then, Maisie, you've heard all these witnesses say that you had a lover and that you went to his penthouse apartment and there, in some strange manner, killed him." "You've heard all this, haven't you?" "Yes, sir." "Now, my good girl... did you know this Leo Smith?" "No, sir." "Wireless message for Mr. Stephen Bessemer." "Wireless message for Mr. Stephen Bessemer." "If the Court will excuse me for a moment." "Granted." "Here, boy!" "Thank you." "If the Court will permit?" "Certainly." "Go ahead, old man." "I'm sorry I had to interrupt you." "That's quite all right." "Let' see, where was I?" "Oh, yes." "You say that you've never seen Leo Smith." "That you don't know Leo Smith." "Yes." "Yes, that's what I said." "Very well, then." "On the night in question, it's been established that the murder took place at 10:30 or thereabouts." "Where were you, my dear?" "I was at home." "I was at home all evening." "There were a number of friends there." "I was at home all evening." "You remember, Jeff." "I never left the apartment at all." "How could I without anybody seeing me?" "Why, the private room was crowded with people and I was dressing and Martha was helping me to dress and I never left her." "Well, how about it, Evelyn, you were there, weren't you?" "Yes, sir." "He wrecked my life too, and I want part of that money." "What money?" "Why, she's suing him for 3 million dollars for breach of promise." "You just told me so." "We've stopped all that." "You're a witness in a murder case now." "She says that she didn't leave her apartment at all that night." "Now did she?" "Didn't leave what apartment?" "This young lady says that you were among her guests that evening and that she didn't leave her apartment." "Oh, she did too." "She was gone for six hours." "Where did she go?" "To Jersey City." "# She went to Jersey City." "to Jersey, to Jersey... #" "# She went to Jersey City, to Jersey she went. #" "Now, my child, let's forget this is a mock trial." "Did Glenda leave her apartment at all that night?" "Oh, you mean really?" "Yes, really." "How could she?" "She was with us all the time." "Except by half an hour." "# Gone half an hour, she was gone for half an hour... #" "He was going to have you killed..." "I killed him." "I didn't want to kill him..." "Stephen knows..." "It's all right, darling, it's all right... but we've gotta go through with it now." "Just keep on denying everything." "Your witness, Mr. District Attorney." "Thank you." "Now, you say your name is Glenda O'Brien." "I beg your pardon, I mean, Maisie Mazuka." "Yes." "And that you never knew Leo." "No." "You're quite sure of that." "You never knew him at all." "No, I never knew him." "You never went to Florida with him and stayed there for two weeks." "I tell you I didn't know him." "Come now, there's no need to get excited, after all this is only a game." "So you never went to Florida with Leo." "No." "Well, how about that trip to Boston and through New England by motorcar, surely you remember that trip." "No." "I didn't go." "I see." "You didn't go to Florida with him... and you didn't go through New England by motorcar." "Then where did you go with him?" "California once." "I didn't go anywhere with him." "I tell you, I don't know him." "Did you go to California with him or didn't you go to California with him?" "I didn't." "I see." "Now that makes three places you didn't go with him." "But he did come back from Europe, that's true, isn't it?" "Yes." "And he did telephone you and ask you to go to his apartment." "Yes, but I didn't go." "I didn't go!" "Then how do you account for this message I've just received from the District Attorney of New York?" "Weapon with which Leo Young was killed found covered with woman's fingerprints" "Get fingerprints of Glenda O'Brien immediately." "Let me see your hands, Glenda." "There's blood on them." "Go on, Glenda show him, nice clean hands." "You're going good, Bessemer, what next?" "No blood, eh?" "No blood?" "Then how about this?" "Your own dress." "Try it on, Glenda, see how it fits." "Blood stains and all!" "I can't stand it!" "I can't stand it!" "I did kill him!" "I killed him!" "Splendid, Glenda." "I never saw such good acting in my life!" "Wedding, eh?" "Good for you, Bessemer." "Come on, darling, stop crying." "It's all over." "Well, how's that for acting, eh?" "Better than the theater." "Come on, let's give three cheers for Glenda O'Brien." "Three cheers for Glenda O'Brien!" "We want Glenda!" "We want Glenda!" "We want Glenda!" "Rah!" "Rah!" "Rah!" "We want Glenda!" "Well, she certainly gave you a show, eh, Bessemer?" "I fooled him, didn't I?" "Didn't I?" "You were wonderful, darling." "Sounded real, eh, Bessemer?" "Very real." "Better even than you think." "That's how it happened." "That's how it was." "It's all right, darling." "Everything's gonna be all right." "You're not going to let them take me away from you." "What do you think?" "It wasn't as if I'd meant to do it." "What are they going to do to me?" "What can they do to me?" "We have to prevent their doing anything." "First thing tomorrow morning, as soon as we land we'll get married." "Oh, no, Jeffrey, no." "I'm not going to do that." "I'll never do that." "I don't want to drag you down." "That's the reason, don't you see..." "That's the reason I'm here... like this, in your arms." "Because we can't ever marry." "Glenda, first thing tomorrow morning we get married." "Of course you know we didn't fool Bessemer." "I know." "Oh, Jeffrey, I'm frightened." "I'm frightened sick." "Oh, I don't want to die!" "I don't want to die!" "William Clark, District Attorney, New York." "Party has confessed." "Arrange for arrest immediately on arrival." "Bessemer." "Now, Miss O'Brien, you say you didn't leave your apartment until you went on board the boat." "I'll answer that, my lamb." "She did not." "You'll answer when I ask you a question." "Sit down." "Well, Miss O'Brien, how about it?" "I didn't leave the apartment." "Well, what more do you want, Clark?" "Let's see you bring down that alibi." "You've got this girl here for no reason in the world." "I'd like to ask Glenda one question, if you don't mind." "And speak right up, Glenda." "Don't be afraid, right out loud." "Did you or did you not leave your apartment and go up to Leo Young's apartment and kill him?" "I did not leave the apartment and I did not kill anyone." "On the ship you said, 'I killed him, I killed him', that's what you said." "I was acting." "We were pretending." "I thought it was a joke." "Here's the stenographer's report." "Every word she said." "Better look it over." "I broke her down." "She confessed before a hundred witnesses." "A mock trial." "She thought it was a joke." "Well it wasn't." "You heard her say she didn't want to go to his apartment." "You heard the maid swear that she stayed in her room." "Well, I've a witness who'll swear that she did go to Leo Young's apartment." "How about it, Maxie?" "That's the girl, Mr. Bessemer." "I was listening." "Outside." "I'd know that voice anywhere." "So where's her alibi now?" "That's her only defense that she didn't go up to Leo's apartment." "And here is a reputable witness who swears that she did." "A witness who was talking to Young on the telephone... and heard this woman's voice." "Heard it in that very room." "That right?" "Sure." "What did she say?" "She cried out, 'Stop that, stop that.'" "And then she said if he didn't let up, she'd kill him." "I didn't!" "I didn't!" "Don't talk, Glenda." "You're sure there's no mistake about this." "You're sure that's the woman who spoke." "Yes, sir." "Well, my girl?" "What have you got to say?" "She hasn't anything to say." "They call you Little Maxie, don't they?" "Yeah." "Business man?" "Yeah." "Business man, eh?" "Yeah." "What were you and Young talking about on the telephone?" "Oh, this and that, that and this." "Did he call you up, or did you call him?" "I called him up." "I got five witnesses that was with me." "You see, he'd been to Europe and we all wanted to know what kind of a trip he'd had so I called him up." "And you're certain this is the girl." "Yeah." "Are you willing to go on a stand and testify that this was the girl who cried out?" "Sure, it's the truth." "It's all I'm doing is telling the truth." "Anything else you want of me, Mr. Clark?" "You know where to get me." "You want anything more from him, Mr. Baxter?" "No, not just now." "Okay, chief." "I'm gonna take this with me." "It might go off and hurt you." "It's all right." "I got a permit." "Hey, Clark, will you give me half an hour to prove that man's lying?" "Linda, they'll question you." "No matter what they say, you've only got two things to answer." "'I don't know' and 'I don't remember'." "If they ask you what your name is, you don't know, if they ask you where you live, you don't know, if they ask you how old you are, you don't remember," "That's all you got to say, 'I don't know' and 'I don't remember'." "Now, Miss O'Brien, you mustn't take what Mr. Baxter says too seriously." "There's no use your denying that you knew Young." "How long did you know him?" "I can't remember." "So you followed me." "Yeah." "Come in." "I wanna talk to you." "In there." "After you, Maxie." "It's all right." "I wasn't gonna shoot you... in the back." "After you, Maxie." "You were lying in the District Attorney's office." "What's it to you?" "What Leo Young was talking to you about on the telephone was to tell you to go out and get rid of somebody." "To bad I didn't get his name." "Well, I'm the guy." "Oh... maybe it ain't too late yet." "Have a drink." "No, thanks." "Do you mind if I do?" "No." "What's on your mind?" "Maxie, are you willing to go into court and swear away a girl's life?" "Sure." "She ain't nothing to me." "Other people's lives don't mean much to you." "Hm-hmm." "Just my own." "I see." "You didn't care much about Haskins and Talbot." "They wasn't nothing to me." "You're one of the brave lads, aren't you, Maxie?" "I hear you've got a dozen bullet wounds in your body." "Fourteen." "What about it?" "And a lot of scars from knife wounds, haven't you?" "Ten or twelve." "That's the kind of a guy you are." "You're not afraid of a bullet, are you?" "Or a knife." "Maxie, I don't think you're afraid of anything." "Nothing I've seen yet." "And there ain't no way a shyster lawyer can scare me either." "Look, Maxie." "See that?" "I got that for you." "It's rawhide." "Twisted out of the skin of a good old cow." "You never had a beating, did you?" "Not yet." "What did you hit him with?" "You were in the room when he was killed." "If you didn't kill him, who did?" "I don't know, I don't know!" "Well, Clark, here's your witness." "What have you done to him?" "I beat the everlasting daylight out of him." "Look at him!" "A killer!" "Think it over, Clark." "The next time you get one of these rats to handle take a little beating on a gangster that can't take a numb one of them." "Now, go on, tell him what Young told you on the telephone." "He wanted me to take care of somebody... somebody he didn't like, somebody he wanted ditched..." "He told you on the phone he wanted you to go out and kill somebody." "And that somebody was me." "Yes..." "You mean to say that Young telephoned you, that he wanted you to kill Baxter?" "Yes..." "Why didn't you tell me that?" "Clark, you can't put this girl on trial." "Supposing for a moment she was in Young's room." "Supposing for a moment I was the man that was threatened, supposing she admits she killed Young to prevent him telling this rat to kill me?" "What jury in the world do you think would convict her?" "And you haven't got one witness who saw her go into Young's room or even somewhere near his room." "Not one witness." "Clark, you can't put her on trial." "Maxie, you said this was the girl." "Are you still sure it's her voice you heard?" "No, no, I ain't sure..." "It was like..." "No, no, that ain't the girl, no." "Tell us the truth." "I am telling the truth." "That isn't the girl." "I never heard her voice." "And that's your case, eh?" "It'll cost the State $100,000." "That's a fine way to be spending money nowadays." "$100,000 and think how they'll laugh at you, Clark." "Think how they'll laugh." "Look, Clark." "Do you want this girl?" "No." "Well, that's funny." "Because I do." "Subtitles:" "Luís Filipe Bernardes"
