Penthouse Page #6

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.

Good.

Am I that important to you?

Do not.

You're free to get drunk,

but first listen to me.

A force to push with

criminals and traitors,

You do not believe in anyone else.

Your ex made you suspicious.

- Should I pack your luggage?

- No. I will.

But first, I'll tell you something

you do not deserve to know.

I did not want Murtoch to

surprise him by investigating,

and so I quoted in a bar.

During that time,

you would be safe.

And now I'm leaving.

Gertie.

- Tony was right.

- What?

I was stupid, very stupid.

Sure, you're a man.

You did not have to.

It was dangerous.

I knew it.

It's something I knew I knew.

You're a strange girl.

You surprise me too.

Why did you do that?

Your life is more

important than mine.

Nobody interests me more than you.

Do not ask me why.

I do not know.

Look... I'm a person of integrity.

I know.

I wanted to be happy with you,

whether you want me or not.

I was wrong.

Do not kiss me.

Do not kiss me.

Not if you do not love me.

Not if you're not crazy about me.

Disheveled?

No. Go to the mirror.

I wanted to know.

I will not put any conditions.

I know your world, but

I have no place in it.

You'll be as free as before.

Do not tell me anything?

Gertie.

You are beautiful and pleasant.

What else?

Could not.

Can I know why?

You deserve something...

better than this.

- What?

- Marry.

You are asking?

"I say you deserve it."

Just a moment.

What good luck!

Hello? Hi, Tony.

Tony, I have to apologize.

I was wrong.

Simn. Gertie had betrayed you,

pretending to play the harp with Mimi.

Listen, I have news for you.

Murtoch will palmar.

Crelliman knows you're going for

him, and will not let Murtoch talk.

Just a moment.

They're going to kill Murtoch,

I have to see him before.

I have a plan, but

how to run it?

Which is?

Crelliman will be on the terrace

when I talk to Murtoch.

How to do it?

"I'll have to get him to go there."

Not even talk. It's very dangerous.

Crelliman would not kill me in his house.

No, he would not.

I'll say I want to see him.

He's going to bite the bait.

Is not it risky?

Much less than yours. I say!

Tony, it's okay.

Gertie will help me.

Well, I'll see you later.

It's a risky bet. 100 to 1.

I will try.

Are you sure?

If you face Crelliman,

I bet on you.

You risk your life.

If I bet, I bet everything.

"Should I call Crelliman?"

Yes please.

Excuse me.

My luck changes!

Hi guys.

- Let's go?

- Yes.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Gertie is calling Crelliman.

Crelliman?

You're suprised? Wait here.

Yes, Jim.

And the guys waiting for me?

Do you remember?

It's very important. According.

In five minutes?

Okay, in 5 minutes.

Thank you, Jim.

- We have to leave.

- What should I do?

He offered me a job

with you abroad.

Tell him you convinced me.

Anyway, make him go out onto the terrace.

You can do it?

I will try.

"Gertie, you're a pearl.

I would like."

Goodbye. Good luck.

It's us? "Do you know Murtoch?"

A killer we've never

been able to catch.

This time will pay for Mimi Montagne.

He was not there.

He shot from his window,

and he threw the gun to the terrace.

"What evidence do you have?"

Murtoch.

"But where are you taking me?"

For a future commissioner.

I hope you're not mistaken!

Hide!

Check them out. Take them out quickly.

Come on. This way.

Do not shot. I need him alive.

Let's play hard?

I almost got shot!

Calm down, Murtoch!

Have you been given?

No. I'm surprised, Murtoch.

- What do you want?

- Look out the window.

- It's an assault.

- Call the police!

Sit down. I want to see the show.

- Give me the gun.

- What are you going to do?

Kill my girlfriend's lover.

- It's my gun.

- Exactly.

But are not they cops?

They do an extra job.

They also want Crelliman.

- Crelliman?

- Yes.

While that b*tch Gertie takes him to

the terrace, I'm going to kill him.

Hang on! Not here! You will accuse me!

Of course.

How did you guess, huh?

"You can not do that!"

"Can not we, eh?"

Listen to me, I'll explain.

You were in a bar.

The waiter will testify

that I was there too.

I listened as he told Gertie

was going to kill Crelliman.

This is a lie!

I called the police,

but it was too late.

You had already shot.

They threw it out the window.

Crelliman was dead.

I'll report it!

There are three prosecution witnesses.

I'd say Gertie's cheating on you.

Come on, be reasonable.

You will not tell a thing.

A murderer sentenced to death.

One more run in the chair.

You will believe with more courage.

You can not do that!

Oh, I'm disappointed.

Before a prepared

coup, I had admired.

Do not let him do it!

Crelliman knows about them.

Threat to reveal that

they accepted money.

One of his henchmen was

executed, not to testify

that Crelliman was involved.

I'm going to go crazy!

I need to drink!

I feel sorry for you. But you

have to eliminate Crelliman.

You are the ideal culprit.

You will like.

When you've killed him,

the guys are going to put

that gun in your hand.

You'll see how well it goes.

It's the best set-up of

the whole crime story.

You have to kill Crelliman

before he kills you.

The window overlooks the terrace.

We'll get in after the shot.

Wait a moment, would not

it be more artistic to say.

What will we get in before the shot?

No, it will not be necessary.

You will be detained for having the

weapon used against Crelliman.

I forgot something.

Let's beat Murtoch for

resisting arrest.

A perfect plan can not fail.

You'll see when I tell the jury!

The jury would be wrong.

No jury.

In the fight, the killer is killed.

We fired and killed him.

Simple, clear and fast.

Now sit back and wait.

I can not do it!

- It's Gertie.

- Are we liquidating it?

First I want to hear it.

Open it.

Hi guys.

Hi, Jim.

Hi, Gertie.

"Do you drink anything?"

No thank you.

It's hot here.

"Have you become sensitive?"

Certainly.

- I need your help.

- What?

There are many of us here.

We are among friends.

I want to talk to you.

Come on, talk.

You know I left with Durant?

He's crazy about me.

I managed to figure

out your plans.

Which are?

Let's get some fresh air.

Open the windows.

What did you discover?

It has been emptied.

I asked to leave because

of the risk that runs.

He accepted the

trip he proposed.

Yes?

I'll go with him. I will be fine.

Yes, you will travel, but

not where you think.

A pity, Gertie.

If you had this plan, it

will no longer be possible.

- You are kidding?

- No.

Do not do it.

Put your coats on, boys.

"Are you going for a walk?"

Exactly.

Can I ask you one last thing?

All those condemned to death

can choose their dinner.

What you want?

Seeing heaven for the last time.

I had some good times.

- You want to escape, huh?

- No.

I'm cool.

If in doubt, come with me.

Leave me! I go crazy!

Bring it here.

Prevent him from crying.

It's normal to see him kill him.

He'll settle for knowing

he dies before you.

Let him talk.
