The Brasher Doubloon Page #7

he heard shouts...

Something was happening

in the building across the street.

See that man pointing?

Vannier quickly changed

to a closer lens.

Now watch that high window.

Stop it!... Stop it!

I didn't!

You know I didn't!

There, my dear... don't cry.

You know I'll do all I can for you.

Spangler... you haul the rest of them

down to the wagon.

I'll take the girl.

Not so fast, Lieutenant.

Sit down, all of you.

It was too far away for you

to see anyone clearly.

These are the films that Vannier used

for blackmail all right.

But they don't prove anything.

Now here is an enlarged version

of the same films.

Hit the switch back there again.

Now you see they show in detail

the figure in the window.

Here we have Mrs Murdoch

in the very act

of giving her husband

the old heave-ho!

Lights!

Alright!... I killed him!

He was unfaithful to me

and he deserved to die!

You killed Vannier too, didn't you?

Yes he lied to me.

He told me my son was

in a plot to help blackmail me!

He was!

Vannier told you the truth.

You're lying. My son loves me.

He'd never do anything to take

my money away from me.

This is just a plot

to get my money!

All these years...

you let me think I did it!

You made me think

I was insane!

Yes, I did... you'll never steal

another woman's husband!

But I've had my revenge!

Just look at you!

You shiver and shudder every time

a man so much as lays a finger on you!

What man would fall in love

with a lunatic?!

Get her out of here!

Alright Spangler, let's go.

I'll need a statement from you too,

in the morning.

We'll be there.

OK.

The place could use

a little fresh air.

Biggest crowd I ever drew here.

Maybe I should have

charged admission.

Are you alright?

I guess so.

It's just that I've lived with

the Murdock family so long...

And now...

And now there won't be

any more family left.

You know that's one shortage

nobody's going to complain about.

Yes, speaking...

25 a day and expenses.

But that depends on the particular job,

whether I take it.

Sure, any time in the morning

is fine.

11 o'clock is great.

This is Mr Marlowe's secretary.

I'm afraid he's forgotten

he's still on another case.

Oh not til the beginning

of the week.

I'm sorry, he couldn't possibly

be free until then.

Alright.

Hey, what is this?

You said you were taking both cases...

Mrs Murdock's AND mine.

Mine isn't solved yet.

It will be.

I got a feeling you're gonna

graduate with honours!
