What was she doing here?
She came to tell me
She yelled and pushed me out of the way
just as he started shooting.
You don't think she might
have been trying to...
- You know?
- What do you mean? Put me on the spot?
No.
If she hadn't pushed me,
his first bullet would've caught me.
It was just a thought.
Well, here's the knife.
- That's the one that was used, all right.
- Could be the one that was tossed at me.
Not much chance of fingerprints...
after the dog's been playing with it
I'm apologizing.
Take it in. Tell them to check it anyway.
Funny that the dog should have
got hold of it the second time.
Yes, you may be right.
Miss MacFay, when did you first
suspect Horn of killing your father?
I didn't say that.
I didn't say he killed Father.
as your suitor, didn't he?
Yes.
And if you'd married Horn,
he'd have cut you off without a dime?
As soon as your father was dead...
you became
extremely attractive financially.
- Don't. Please, don't.
- Please, Mr. Van Slack.
- She's been through too much already.
- Sorry, son.
What was the first reaction you saw
on Horn after the discovery of the murder?
Why, nothing.
He just came to tell me
that Father had been killed.
Yes, then what?
Then he said to say that we were together
when it happened...
- so the police wouldn't bother me.
- He said that?
Yes, he was only trying
to protect me, and...
He was trying to protect himself, child.
No, he couldn't have. Freddie.
Take it easy, Lois.
Maybe Father was right about Dudley,
and I wouldn't listen to him.
Oh, poor Father.
All right.
- Well, I guess that does it.
- Does what?
- Well, don't you get it?
- No.
We know that Horn and Church
are enemies.
When Church starts to threaten MacFay,
Horn sees a chance to frame him.
the Cuban's knife to do it.
with the knife...
why should he try to kill me when I find it?
Looks to me as if you've got two
mysteries on your hands instead of one.
- Now you know why I retired. Good luck.
- You're not walking out on me, are you?
I'm not walking out, I'm running out.
If there were any reasonable chance
for me to help you, it'd be different.
But, during this quiet little weekend
in the country...
my family's been threatened...
I've had a knife thrown at me, I've been
shot at, I've been suspected of murder.
From now, this is your case, you handle it.
I'm going back to New York and forget it.
Come on, Lois. Come on, Mrs. Bellam.
Come on, Freddie.
Maybe I'm wrong. Come on, Asta.
Extra! Read all about it!
Dream Butcher hunted! Extra!
Read all about it!
Read all about it!
- What is it? What are they calling?
- Nothing.
- Have they found him?
- Not yet.
- How do you feel?
- Sort of funny.
The doctor gave you something
to make you sleep.
6:
00? Have you been here all that time?I didn't want you to be alone
when you woke up.
You're so good to me.
Why shouldn't I be good
to my own flesh and blood?
Forgive me. I didn't mean ever to tell you.
It just slipped out.
- I don't understand.
- Don't hate me.
Please, don't hate me.
I couldn't bear it if you did.
I am your mother, but I don't ask anything.
Only to be allowed to stay near you.
We heard you talking so we knew
you were awake.
- Are you all right, Lois?
- Why, yes.
What's the matter, Lois? You look upset.
It's nothing. It's just that I'm so all at sea
- To go on, deciding things all alone...
- You won't be alone long.
Wait till the news of your $5 million
hits the front pages.
You'll find you've got relatives
all over the world.
Look, Lois.
I haven't much to offer you,
and I don't ask anything in return.
But whatever happens,
or wherever you are...
you can always know I'm standing by.
Freddie, dear, you're so sweet.
Mr. Charles. Mr. Van Slack's
in your room, waiting for you.
Thank you.
- Mommy, I'll see you later.
- What do you mean, later?
- I got rid of all those reporters.
- What did you tell them?
- I told them we were out of Scotch.
- What a gruesome thought.
- Hello.
- Hiya, Charles.
I don't like to disturb you...
but the fact is we seem to work
quite well together.
And I thought perhaps you might
reconsider and come back on the case.
Come back on the case?
I've never been out of it. What's up?
The New York Police found the woman
who was with Church.
I'm on my way up there now.
Would you care to come along?
- Sure.
- I'll get my hat.
I've been trying to trace that nurse,
Dorothy Waters.
We have some fingerprints from
the references she gave to Mrs. Charles.
They're checking them now.
How about that license number?
That car belongs to a man
by the name of Vogel.
A gambler racketeer. I'll see him later.
That's for you.
Hello. Speaking. Who is it?
Never mind names.
Just a friend of yours, telling you...
if you know what's best for you,
to lay off that MacFay case.
You understand? Let it alone.
If you don't, we'll ship that body of yours
back in a box.
Thank you, but we have an encyclopedia.
Isn't that Nickie crying?
That wasn't the baby. He's sound asleep.
Nickie!
Go on and ring.
Hello? I've got to rush.
Will you call back later?
What?
Mr. Charles is not here.
This is Mrs. Charles speaking.
Mr. Charles and I always work together.
I have an important information.
You come where I tell you.
But understand. I am not a stool pigeon.
- So do not bring any police.
- I see.
What's the address?
I'll be there.
- Hello, Lieutenant.
- Well, how are you, Mr. Charles?
- Things sure pop when you're in town.
- They certainly do.
- Hello, Mr. Van Slack.
- Hi, Guild.
Is this the Smith woman's apartment?
But if your killing was at 1:00 last night
then she's in the clear.
We had a plant here
from before midnight till after 3:00...
- and she was here all the time.
- You sure?
Positive. I was here myself.
How did you happen
to be watching her place?
Well, it turned out to be a false alarm...
but she called me up on the telephone
last night...
and said that there was someone
hanging around, that...
Say, could she have been using me
as an alibi?
Why, she can't do that to me.
Hello, Nick.
Well, nice to see you again, Lieutenant.
Pleased to meet you.
Come on in, sit down.
- I'll go get you a cup of coffee.
- Never mind.
So you picked on me to give you an alibi?
I got to lose a night's sleep
so you can duck a murder rap?
So help me. I never thought
it was going to be murder.
- What did you think?
- I knew Phil was trying to get dough...
out of MacFay, but I never knew
You know it now, don't you?
I don't know anything
that's got anything to do with murders.
Murders? How many other murders
were planned besides MacFay's?
I don't know anything about
