Penthouse Page #5

Synopsis: Racketeer Tony Gazotti is thankful that lawyer Jackson Durant helps him beat a murder rap, but Durant just does it for the thrill of it and refuses payment. Durant's defense of mobsters causes his firm to disown him and his girlfriend Sue to leave him. But when young Tom Siddall, Sue's new boyfriend, is framed for a murder, she is the first to come asking for Durant's help. Durant uses Gazotti's information network and the help of new girlfriend Gertie Waxted to find that rival gangster Jim Crelliman is involved in the framing of Siddall. When Durant sends Gertie to Crelliman's apartment in a bid to blow open the case, she is walking on thin ice.

- Exactly.

So I stay.

- It's lovely.

- Really?

Oh, give me your watch!

- My watch?

- Yeah, give it to me.

OK.

Do you also want my checkbook?

I'll give it back. Do not be afraid.

Of course not.

Goodbye.

I like women's watches.

That does not interest me.

- Worthless?

- Yeah, it's a good watch.

So let's negotiate?

You did not come by the clock.

I know you, Mr. Durant.

You do not want money.

Take the clock and go.

Hang on. What if I give you $ 500?

Come out, or I'll call the police

for trying to bribe a witness.

- Skirt!

- Hang on!

Follow this cab!

- What?

- It will not start.

- Where did he go?

- Do not know.

"Where will it stop?"

I do not know.

What good is your eyes for?

Hi, Mr. Durant.

I want to see Gazotti.

Oh, little Lord Fauntleroy!

"You want to see the boss?"

Yes, my lord.

You want more?

This thing drives me crazy.

Go Go.

Turn around.

Splendid.

What do you have to say.

That forces me to use it.

I think it's elegant.

Come in, I'll see.

Gertie thought it was great.

This is reciprocal.

So everyone is happy.

- She helps me a lot.

- Yes.

Tony, Sue Leonard wants to

expand the sewers of Brooklyn.

Then sell yours.

No, do not say that Gazotti

that a woman be indiscreet.

What speech!

A gentleman does not imply that

fair sex is without honor.

Your honor.

Men! I already speak like you.!

Tony, can you do me a favor?

I would give my right arm.

I want to get into somebody's house.

- An atack?

- Yes.

I wonder if you could

give me a goat.

- That is all?

- Yes.

I have the best of New York.

- One last favor.

- It's done.

Make Levitoff talk.

Disappeared.

He said he would do

anything for me.

Except a miracle.

Do it for me, I can not.

"When did you see him?"

It's been 15 minutes.

It's been 10 years since

they left him a colander.

- Who was?

- Do not know.

But surely Crelliman

has an alibi.

Give me the picks.

Wait, leave the case

before something happens.

I'll have them incriminate Crelliman.

I can make you cold.

This would not help Siddall.

I have to prove it was a trick

of Crelliman to accuse him.

You know there's vindictiveness abject.

Killing is not enough.

You must torture.

Appreciate it.

Do not compare me to Crelliman.

- Where are you going?

- Residential Oklahoma.

Watch out it's full

of Crelliman men.

Yes. I'm going to see Gertie's

apartment, and what's up.

- What's?

- Do not know.

You take a lot of risk...

- Joe, Joe!

- Yes?

Tell those fools

to follow Durant.

Hello? "Are you Gertie?"

- Yes.

- Your friend lost the pot.

- Who's your downstairs neighbor?

- Murtoch.

Murtoch?

One of the killers of Crelliman!

Because? "Durant goes there."

Is he going there?

What we do?

You should warn Tony.

You know what you're going to do to us.

I know.

I would not say anything.

Do not expect me to.

The luck.

If you say, I'll cross.

Face.

Ask me one more round.

It's him.

The apartment 26 A?

- Around.

- Thank you.

I'm leaving.

Mr. Durant forbade it.

I do not care.

I have orders. You can not exit.

How is that?

Who would have thought of that?

You.

I came to see Gertie.

You must be sorry for Mimi.

This one?

No. What do you want?

Anything.

But since we are here, we

could take advantage of

to talk a little.

How about a trip to

Europe with Gertie?

$ 200,000, could offer

many beautiful things.

"A pleasure trip?"

"Not only business.

You would buy the production

of the best distilleries.

For a year.

Siddall would have been executed.

$ 200,000 is a lot of money.

"No, there is no deal.

"Let's discuss it."

No, no. It's no use.

Travel by sea is very

healthy for your health.

You're never safe in this city.

You can be hit by a taxi.

And the shootings.

You're never safe

from a stray bullet.

You dance with the little Waxted.

They shoot and pass through both.

Like Levitoff, right?

"I do not know anything about that.

"Do not swear."

That's all right. I'm leaving.

I tried to be friendly,

but to no avail.

You do not want to understand me.

Your luck will not last forever.

Be careful.

Your threat is weak.

"But not my actions!" Not mine.

Keep it. I would not do.

It's a sure condemnation.

What do you want?

Oh, I thought you were

knocking on my door.

What's wrong with you?

"No, he did not."

No call to 26 A?

Yes, but there was no one.

It's in the building.

If you are in an

apartment, liquidate it.

You two look if you're with Murtoch.

Below.

- Hang on. I said below.

- I already know.

The lobby is full of

people from Crelliman.

- . You hit him, right?

- Yes, indeed.

Whoever hits him is my friend.

Follow me.

Down to the basement and

step out from behind.

Thank you.

Hit me.

- I can not.

- Make it strong.

Are you serious?

- It's for my own good.

- I'm sorry.

What a right!

Who manufactures them?

You'll kill me. About you...

- He escaped.

- It's my fault.

It's ok.

"Do you know who lives above?"

No.

Murtoch.

A murderer from Crelliman.

Yes?

"He almost crosses with him."

Where is it?

- Connelly's.

- Where's Connelly's?

- Because?

- I have to talk.

Leave the case.

I need your address.

"I will not give it to you."

Give it to me, I have to see it.

- Do not even talk.

- Stop the car.

- You can not do that!

- I told you to stop!

"Do you know where Connelly's is?"

Yes, come on.

Why wait? Follow him.

You're not going to

disappoint Tony, are you?

I would not dare.

Drop the suitcase in that direction.

My butler will pay you.

- Hello, big boy.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hi, Mr. Durant.

Baxter.

Come and do your job! William!

Tell Murtoch to

shut up or leave.

Don't make it scandal.

You do not impress me.

If you're not happy, quit.

- You understand me?

- What did I do?

No one stops you.

Let it.

I'll come back to clean the trash.

I wanted to see him.

- Listen, Tony.

- What?

I just saw your

little Waxted spy,

counselor of Murtoch.

Instead of helping me,

it helps my enemies.

It's useless for Gertie

to get her things.

I'll send them.

"You think it's funny?"

- Yes.

Envy is always fun.

- Jealous?

- You're crazy.

I'm crazy, no, you are.

You're crazy about the girl.

- Layton.

- Yes sir.

"Who hit you?"

MS. Waxted, sir ..

And I thought she was charming!

I also learned. Bring drink.

- Sir...

- Bring some booze.

"I thought I did not drink."

You are wrong.

I will open.

I do not think you're happy to see me.

Back home.

They could have stopped me dressed

like that in broad daylight.

Not get upset.

I had to leave to help him.

And you Layton, do not be angry.

"Did I do so much damage to you?"

"I hope not, ma'am."

Is well. Are not you happy to see me?

How dare you come back?

- How do you say?

- I hate traitors.

- What traitors?

- I saw her with Murtoch.

You're cunning, but that's

not always worth it.

Collect your things.

Layton's taking her home.

Do you want to hear my version?

No. I will not believe

anything you tell me.

You're drunk, right?

I betrayed, so drink.
