Hmph.
That's enough.
You know, the way you're perspirin'
now, you could use that handkerchief.
It's a big one!
I'll take my rubdown in my
room, Bozzo. Okay, Mr. Brooks.
I'll get you in a minute,
Freddie.
Okay, Mr. Bozzo. Uh,
Mr. Brooks! Mr. Brooks!
I'd like to talk to you
for another minute!
Oh-ho, you.
Guy never gave me a chance to cut my
price. He could've chiseled me a little bit.
Ha-ha. That's all.
If you...
Casey!
If you let me sweat that bellhop
a little, I'll get a confession.
handkerchief gag, he's all yours.
There's still a chance
that Brooks is the killer.
Freddie's working on him now.
You've got until tonight to prove it.
There's a train outta here at 9:00, and
that bunch of creeps are plannin' to take it.
You're not gonna let 'em? They
know as much about the law as I do.
I got to book 'em or let 'em go.
I haven't got a thing on 'em.
Help! Help!
The hotel's burning!
It's the health club.
Freddie's in there. Come on!
Freddie.! Freddie.!
Casey!
Freddie, where are you?
Casey!
Wait'll I turn off
the steam!
Get him out of there,
quick!
Whew.
Somebody was trying to cook
my goose. What do you mean?
I-I saw a hand come around the
corner and he put on a lot of steam.
A lot of steam,
all the steam he could put on.
Full force. I think
somebody's trying to kill me.
Sounds phony to me.
You're just tryin' to divert suspicion for
yourself. You're not as dumb as you look.
Get your hand off me. I don't
want anymore of this from you.
I'm a citizen and a taxpayer and it's my
taxes that buys you your gun and your badge.
It's my taxes that pays your salary
every week. You're workin' for me!
You're a public servant!
So what?
Get me another bottle of water. Okay.
What?
Well, the Inspector's not foolin' with
you anymore. You heard what he said.
If nothing develops by 9:00 tonight, he's
gonna place a charge of murder against you.
Murder? Murder? Are you
nervous? Gimme the key.
Absolutely!
Wait a minute. Stand back. What's wrong?
Get in. Get in! What's the matter with you?
What in the world is
that? It's a booby trap.
What for? I'm not taking chances
of anyone sneakin' in here...
and killin' me without me
knowing it. You big dope.
What's to prevent anybody from
coming in those French doors?
Ah.
It's pretty good,
isn't it?
That is the most ridiculous thing
I have ever seen! Is that so?
If the murderer comes in this room by
himself, somebody else is gonna carry him out.
Why, you dirty
double-crosser.
We've got it all arranged to have somebody try
and kill you and you're trying to prevent it.
Ya know... Come here. Come here!
I suppose you've got these windows
rigged up too? They can't hurt me here.
We're three stories up.
Boy, are you lucky. Somebody's finally
trying to bump you off. Congratulations.
Wait until the Inspector
hears about this.
Oh, boy, oh, boy.
Uh... Get me
Inspector Wellman.
Uh... Oh, look at those
bullet holes. Marvelous!
Wonderful.! Casey, why is everybody
Boy, are they really
after you.
Oh, come. Come, put a smile on your face.
That's a boy. Sure, enjoy life. That's it.
Go in the other room and lie down.
Go in and rest. Relax, go ahead.
I will.
Sure, go ahead.
That's swell.
Uh, what?
He's not in his room?
Well, page him
in the lobby.
Everybody's so happy
I'm gonna get murdered.
I don't understand nothin'
about the whole thing.
Uh-oh.
Every time I open up one of those
closet doors, I always find a dead body.
Is there anybody in there?
Hmm?
Ah.
Casey?
Casey!
I didn't hear you come in. You're supposed
to be out there talkin' to Inspector Wellman.
People around here are all dyin' to kill me
and here you come in resting. Oh, you! Casey!
You oughta be embarrassed. That's why you
got your face all covered up. Now, come on...
Now, Casey... What was the matter with
the dark suit? You look good in that one.
Fine.!
What's the matter? Freddie,
what's wrong? What happened?
Come in! I wanna show you
something! Take it easy.
There he is, over there! All right,
so you messed up the bed. Relax!
No, he was here. Milford.
Are you trying to tell me that
Milford's body was there and it's gone?
Take care of yourself. Take it easy.
Go get yourself a drink of water.
That'll fix you up.
Go ahead.
Take it easy. Take it easy.
Don't get excited.
Go ahead.
Wait a minute.
What's the matter now?
Now what? Where? Milford.
Must be a leak in the tub. Come here.
Keep quiet.!
There's nobody in this suite.
Now, uh, uh, shut up!
Just to satisfy ya, I'll check. You get on the
phone and see if the Inspector's on his way up.
- Hurry up. Go on!
- All right, all right.
That boy don't know what's goin' around
here. He don't know what's happening.
I know I saw it in there before.
When I go back, it ain't there.
I was in the other room there,
I went in to gargle my throat.
And I go down like that. I, I saw
it. I was in the bathtub over there.
I know I'm not losin' that.
I know that.
I could be havin' ha... who... su... nation...
halluke-inations... but I know I saw it.
Hello?
Hello.
What's a matter now? What are... Come here.
Come on, let me in on it. Now what?
What? Oh, no, no. Not again.
You mean to tell me that
Milford was there? He was there.
Now, listen. I am getting sick and
tired of this nonsense of yours.
He was there. Don't tell
me that! Milford was there.
Milford was there! How
could he be? The man is dead.
For a dead man,
he's sure gettin' around.
Listen, I'm gonna prove to you
once and for all that he's not here.
Is he there?
No.
Come here. Is he there? No.
No.
Come here.
All right.
Is he there?
Yes.
Milford!
Cover it up!
There's something strange goin' on here.
Somebody's tryin' to scare you out of this room.
I know who it is.
Him.
That's the Inspector. We gotta get rid
of him before he finds this body in here.
Uh, hello, Inspector. I'm sorry to
have bothered you, it was all a mistake.
It was just his imagination.
That's right, Inspector.
You see those three bullet holes in
the window? That's only my imagination.
That's all.
Where were you
when these shots were fired?
I was sittin' right here,
but not for long.
Mike Relia!
Casey, do you think I'm
in the right room? Yes.
Stone, go in the bedroom and get a
sheet. Bedroom! Not in the bedroom...
Shut up.
Sure.
Shut up!
Shut up.
I ain't said nothin'.
Well, Phillips, what do you
know about this? Oh, sure, sure.
What do you know about this? Quit stallin'.
Now you got two murders to explain.
- Better make it three,
Inspector.
Milford! I pulled the
spread down and there he was.
Freddie! Freddie couldn't have done
this. These bodies were planted here.
This one was
planted over here...
Look, I don't understand the whole thing.
In the suite, I got every door locked.
