00:01:56Hey, anybody home?
00:01:58♪♪
00:02:08♪♪
00:02:18♪♪
00:02:45Don't let him scare you, son.
00:02:48Are you the sheriff?
00:02:50Not yet.
00:02:52But I expect to be before this case is over.
00:02:55Right now I'm Deputy Sheriff Tex Murdoch.
00:02:59I'm Larry Sutton.
00:03:01Glad to know you, Larry.
00:03:03I always call everybody with their first name, saves talk.
00:03:06Let's come in and fix an eat.
00:03:12You been around here long?
00:03:14Only about three days.
00:03:16But I used to live around here in this part of the country 55, 60 years ago.
00:03:22What are you doing here?
00:03:24Expect to land a job with Mr. Ballard.
00:03:26Ballard?
00:03:28Uh-huh.
00:03:30Got any paper to show who you are?
00:03:32There's my letter of introduction.
00:03:34Well, you've got to be mighty careful in a murder case.
00:03:39Seems all right.
00:03:42You like sourdough biscuits?
00:03:45Sure do.
00:03:47You got any?
00:03:49Not really.
00:03:51I'm not a big fan of sourdough biscuits.
00:03:54I'm a big fan of the sauerkraut.
00:03:56I like the sauerkraut.
00:03:58I like the sauerkraut.
00:04:00I like the sauerkraut.
00:04:02I like the sauerkraut.
00:04:04I like the sauerkraut.
00:04:06Sure do.
00:04:10Is that Adolf Borg's body in there?
00:04:13How'd you know?
00:04:15The news is all over Tonto Basin.
00:04:17Well, I guess folks feel a whole lot better about it knowing I'm on the case.
00:04:21Several of them spoke to me about it.
00:04:23They did?
00:04:28I ain't able to locate another saucer.
00:04:34Reckon you could manage to drink your coffee out of a cup.
00:04:38Well, I'll try.
00:04:42Are you acquainted with the remains?
00:04:46No.
00:04:48What sort of a man was he?
00:04:50Well, I...
00:04:54I don't know.
00:04:56Of course, him and me and Jim Ballard were boys together.
00:05:02But I ain't seen Adolf Borg in 50 years.
00:05:05Wouldn't recognize him if I did.
00:05:08They killed him up there at the mine.
00:05:12Catched him under the stamp mill.
00:05:15So you were born around this part of the country?
00:05:17No.
00:05:19All our folks come out here together in a wagon train.
00:05:23Old man Ballard, that's Jim's pa, was captain of the outfit.
00:05:28What kind of man did Jim turn out to be?
00:05:31Oh, he took after his pa.
00:05:34Didn't mingle with people, and they both lived like a couple of hermits.
00:05:40That's the kind of man I'm gonna work for.
00:05:43Why did you leave here, Tex?
00:05:45Well, my father had an argument.
00:05:48Old man Ballard over a section of land.
00:05:50Moved us to Oregon. Been there ever since.
00:05:52What brought you back?
00:05:55Well, I went broke and got a kind of a hankering to see the old place.
00:06:01I figured that Jim Ballard would give me a job.
00:06:04Wouldn't even see me.
00:06:06Well, you seem to be getting along all right.
00:06:08Don't go right in.
00:06:10Well, when Jim wouldn't see me, I went to see the sheriff about a job.
00:06:14Figured that was more in my line anyhow.
00:06:17Well, the sheriff says I might as well be on the county one way or another.
00:06:22Put me on as deputy.
00:06:24He was short of badges, so I'm whittling myself out then.
00:06:31It was a lucky thing he put me on when he did.
00:06:34The very next day, this fella in here was murdered.
00:06:37Here I am, right on the job.
00:06:40Say, have some more biscuits.
00:06:47What's that?
00:07:14What was that noise?
00:07:17In there. You'd better go see.
00:07:19Doggone it, Larry. Can't you see my hand is full?
00:07:22Go see yourself.
00:07:25Probably just the wind.
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:30You bunking in here?
00:07:32Yeah, this is my headquarters.
00:07:34But I'm figuring on moving up to Ballard's place where I can keep an eye on things.
00:07:39Corn up in here?
00:07:41He was here this morning.
00:07:42What's his verdict?
00:07:44Well, he says everything points to that Jack Parsons fellow as the killer.
00:07:48The sheriff's got a posse out trailing him down.
00:07:54Hey, you're asking a lot of questions. Are you a city detective?
00:07:57No, just a mining engineer.
00:07:59That Parsons was a mining engineer too.
00:08:03When I catch him, that reward money's going to come in mighty handy.
00:08:07I wouldn't count on that reward money too soon.
00:08:10Maybe you're after the wrong man.
00:08:12No, I ain't.
00:08:13If I just had a picture of Parsons to put on that there poster,
00:08:17I bet you I'd get some mighty important clues.
00:08:19Here's your picture.
00:08:23Is that a picture of Jack Parsons?
00:08:25Yes.
00:08:26Where'd you get it?
00:08:27He's my brother-in-law.
00:08:30This thing's hitting my sister pretty hard.
00:08:35I'm mighty sorry to hear that your family's mixed up in this, son.
00:08:39Because I don't mind to shine, do you?
00:08:42I guess it's because you make me think of my boy.
00:08:45You see, his mother died when he was born.
00:08:48I raised him.
00:08:50He had a smile.
00:08:52He was just like yours.
00:08:57Slow and easy.
00:08:59You could tell that he wasn't letting go all the fun he had in him.
00:09:02And he was one of the first to enlist when they had that squabble over there in France.
00:09:10He sent me all his medals.
00:09:15Oh, sure, I'm just an old fellow who's got to talk a record.
00:09:18See, and he was what made me think of him.
00:09:20He was a great big strong fellow.
00:09:22Stood just as straight as a ramrod.
00:09:24Just like me.
00:09:26Listen, Dad.
00:09:28I'm sure Jack Parsons didn't kill Bo.
00:09:31Will you let me work with you a few days to see what we can find out?
00:09:34Why, I don't see anything against.
00:09:37Who's living at the ballad place?
00:09:39Just him and his help up to a few days ago that a whole pastoral relative showed up.
00:09:44While I'm working there, I'm positive I can find out a number of things that'll help us.
00:09:49It's a bargain.
00:09:51You can help me out with some of the details.
00:09:53I'd better be checking into the ballads.
00:09:55I'll see you later.
00:09:56Say, Larry.
00:09:57When you meet me over there, don't let on to anybody you're working for me.
00:10:01Okay, I won't know you from Adam.
00:10:03Well, I'll be dressed a whole lot different than he was.
00:10:33Hey, what are you up to?
00:11:02Hey, what are you doing?
00:11:31I want to see your boss, Mr. Ballard.
00:11:44He don't see you.
00:11:45He don't see anyone.
00:11:56It's different.
00:11:57You come in.
00:12:21I'd like to see Mr. Ballard.
00:12:22I'm a mining engineer.
00:12:24Oh.
00:12:25Well, come in, won't you?
00:12:35Your name?
00:12:36Sutton.
00:12:37Lawrence Sutton.
00:12:38I'm Mrs. Borg.
00:12:40Mr. Ballard's housekeeper.
00:12:43Have you a letter of introduction?
00:12:47I'll find out if Mr. Ballard can see you.
00:12:49He's an invalid, you know.
00:12:51Perhaps he'd like to glance through these credentials too.
00:12:56Make yourself comfortable.
00:12:57Sit down.
00:12:59Come on.
00:13:00Sit down.
00:13:20I tell you, I can't stand it any longer.
00:13:34Oh, quit whining.
00:13:35You know what we're here for.
00:13:36He said he was dying.
00:13:37That's why he sent for us.
00:13:38I wish he'd get it over with.
00:13:40If you weren't my sister, I'd like to poke you one right on the jaw.
00:13:43At least you could have a little respect for Uncle Jim.
00:13:46He doesn't mean anything to me.
00:13:48Except you're willing to share in his estate.
00:13:51I've got a hunch that Rita, you and I, are going to get the most of it.
00:13:54That Rita.
00:13:55What's the matter with her?
00:13:56I don't like her and I never did.
00:13:58I think she's a pretty good cousin.
00:14:01I got an idea about that murder.
00:14:03I don't want to hear it.
00:14:19Mr. Ballard, we'll see you now.
00:14:21This way, please.
00:14:28Come.
00:14:40Come in.
00:14:49You're Mr. Sutton, eh?
00:14:51Yes, sir.
00:14:52Sit down, won't you?
00:15:00I see by your credentials you've had experience in handling radium.
00:15:05I was at the extraction plant in Denver for over a year.
00:15:12John.
00:15:17Is it true that the Acme Company just sold a gram of radium for $37,000?
00:15:25That's correct.
00:15:26One of the New York clinics bought it.
00:15:28Well, that is encouraging.
00:15:31Oh, by the way, I must apologize for shooting at you a while ago.
00:15:38But since the murder, I'm a little suspicious of strangers.
00:15:44So it was you.
00:15:45Well, that's all right.
00:15:46You missed me.
00:15:47We've had unpleasant experience.
00:15:50I suppose you know that my former engineer, Parsons, is wanted for murder.
00:16:00I heard about it from the deputy sheriff.
00:16:04It's been a great personal loss to me.
00:16:07Not only was Adolf Borg my partner for many years, but he was my closest friend.
00:16:16I understand.
00:16:17You'll have to work alone.
00:16:20I'm incapacitated.
00:16:22Can't leave my bed.
00:16:24I'd appreciate it if you do your work as fast as you can.
00:16:29I'd like to know something of results before I go.
00:16:36Now I can ask your confidence.
00:16:39Don't discuss anything with the household.
00:16:43Well, excuse me, Mr. Ballard.
00:16:45I didn't know you were busy.
00:16:47I'll come back later.
00:16:48Come in, John.
00:16:54Mr. Satton, this is John Borg.
00:16:57Glad to meet you, Mr. Borg.
00:16:58Your mother showed me up here.
00:17:00Oh, yes?
00:17:01He's good enough to act as my nurse.
00:17:04John, you might show Mr. Satton to his quarters in the laboratory.
00:17:09All right, I'll look over your properties.
00:17:11And if there's anything I don't quite understand, may I come back and discuss it with you?
00:17:15Anytime.
00:17:16I'll always be glad to see you.
00:17:18Thank you, sir.
00:17:20Good luck.
00:17:34Mr. Parson's test looks very favorable.
00:17:50Maybe he extracted some of the radium and stole it.
00:17:53I hardly think so.
00:18:09Well, this goes into the stamp mill.
00:18:11Yes, sir.
00:18:12But if you'll excuse me, I can't go in there.
00:18:15That's where my father was killed.
00:18:18I'm sorry.
00:18:19Shall I have Ling yet stay with your horse?
00:18:21No, thanks.
00:18:22I'll do it myself later.
00:18:23Much obliged for showing me around.
00:18:25Not at all.
00:18:54What's the matter with you?
00:19:23What's the matter with you?
00:19:52Can I help you?
00:20:05Don't shoot, lady.
00:20:06I give up.
00:20:07What are you doing here?
00:20:09I'm going to do some work on the mine for Mr. Ballard.
00:20:11Well, I'm Rita Ballard, his niece.
00:20:14You must have thought I was very silly drawing a gun on you.
00:20:17Who'd you think I was anyway?
00:20:18Well, we're not trusting anybody around here the last few days.
00:20:21So I've been told.
00:20:24I'd like to get out of here, but I don't want to offend my uncle.
00:20:28Afraid he might cut you out of his will?
00:20:30I don't care very much for that remark.
00:20:32Then we're even.
00:20:33I didn't enjoy the welcome you gave me either.
00:20:36Well, let's start all over again.
00:20:38I'm willing.
00:20:41Don't you think you'd better take your gun with you?
00:20:43I don't think I need it.
00:20:44I'm not afraid anymore.
00:20:46In fact, I feel a little better with you around.
00:20:58Gee, I hope nothing else happens.
00:21:09What does that mean?
00:21:11I don't know.
00:21:17I think it's just a cheap trick to scare us away.
00:21:20All the excitement seems to center around Rita.
00:21:23She found the note, and she was the only person
00:21:25who saw the man ride away from the mine.
00:21:27Maybe Mr. Ballard has some enemy who's out for revenge.
00:21:30Oh, go tend to your cattle and leave the melodrama alone.
00:21:35Oh, Mr. Sutton.
00:21:46Do we really have anything in this radium?
00:21:49I'm sorry, Miss Flora.
00:21:51Mr. Ballard has asked me not to discuss his business
00:21:53with anyone except himself.
00:21:55Oh, so you're the cagey type.
00:21:57If you want to put it that way.
00:21:59Mr. Parsons thought there was almost a million dollars
00:22:01worth of radium out there.
00:22:03He might have been right, and again, he might have been wrong.
00:22:06Well, that makes it pretty nice for one heir,
00:22:08but it gets into rather small figures
00:22:10when it's divided among three.
00:22:12Don't forget he's leaving some to the boards.
00:22:14How long will he be before we can market it?
00:22:16I don't know.
00:22:17If there's nothing else you want,
00:22:18I'll see if Mr. Ballard needs me.
00:22:38Don't let them upset you.
00:22:39I can't help it.
00:22:41Good night.
00:22:42Good night.
00:22:44Good night.
00:22:53Is it that interesting to you?
00:22:55No.
00:22:56Do you want to keep it?
00:22:57I just wondered why you wanted it.
00:23:01I thought you were only supposed to work for Mr. Ballard.
00:23:03I am.
00:23:04Oh, I see.
00:23:05Rita's just a hobby.
00:23:08Well, don't let her pull the wool over your eyes.
00:23:10Maybe I like wool pulled over my eyes.
00:23:14Good night.
00:23:33Stick them up, Sheriff.
00:23:34Got you dead to right.
00:23:35Sleeping on the job, eh?
00:23:45Oh, no, you didn't catch me sleeping, son.
00:23:50Pretty good.
00:23:52Dummy, eh?
00:23:53No, that's a decoy.
00:23:55Ain't taking any chances.
00:23:56That black rider bumping me off.
00:23:59What are you doing in this cabin?
00:24:01Well, I'm bunking down here now.
00:24:03I thought you'd be down at your headquarters
00:24:05watching Borg's body.
00:24:07Well, I did kind of hate to leave him down there all alone,
00:24:11but duty's duty.
00:24:13And I just figured if I was going to solve this murder,
00:24:16I ought to be right here on the job.
00:24:18Well, there's plenty happening around here, all right.
00:24:22Got any new clues for me?
00:24:24I got a couple of things.
00:24:26Take a look at this note.
00:24:29Jack Parsons didn't write that.
00:24:31I know his handwriting.
00:24:32That looks like a good piece of evidence.
00:24:36And you can see by the handwriting,
00:24:39the fellow that wrote that's a crook.
00:24:43Got anything more?
00:24:44John Borg's horse isn't at the stable.
00:24:46You can't tell me he's out herding cattle at night.
00:24:49I wouldn't trust that fellow.
00:24:51He's got a bad eye.
00:24:54What's the chance of sending this telegram?
00:24:57By George, I was just thinking
00:25:00it was time that I send a telegram.
00:25:03I'll get this off the first thing in the morning.
00:25:07Well, good night, Dad.
00:25:09Good night, son.
00:25:11Now, be careful of that black rider.
00:25:33Vince!
00:25:41Vince!
00:26:11Hello.
00:26:13As the best people say,
00:26:16fancy meeting you here.
00:26:18I was looking for Fritz.
00:26:20He isn't in his room.
00:26:21What made you think he'd be down here?
00:26:42Uncle's firing at him from the window.
00:26:45You stay here.
00:27:12Let me in!
00:27:14Let me in!
00:27:16Let me in!
00:27:20Don't go in there.
00:27:21Don't go in there.
00:27:22What happened?
00:27:23It's Fritz.
00:27:25He's been killed with a stab wound.
00:27:42Mr. Murdoch wants to question all of us
00:27:47about last night.
00:27:53Miss Rita?
00:27:55Where were you when the noise of the stamp never started?
00:27:58I had been with my uncle and had returned to my room.
00:28:01I was in there alone when I heard it.
00:28:04That's right, Dix.
00:28:12I said to both of you down there at the mine,
00:28:16where were you when it started?
00:28:18I was with Mr. Sutton in the laboratory.
00:28:21What were you doing there?
00:28:24I couldn't find my brother in the house,
00:28:27and I was looking for him.
00:28:29Was she with you, Larry?
00:28:31Yes.
00:28:41Now, where are you going to say you was?
00:28:44Where were you?
00:28:46I couldn't catch him out there all the time.
00:28:49Miss Boss see me?
00:28:51I know, but where were you?
00:28:53All right, all right.
00:28:55I've done it.
00:28:58Where was you?
00:29:00I was up here with Mr. Ballard.
00:29:02Where was your horse last night?
00:29:04Wasn't he in the stable?
00:29:06No.
00:29:07He must have broken loose and gone down to pasture.
00:29:12And you?
00:29:14I was in my room sewing.
00:29:16Sewing?
00:29:18Appears to me you're a right thrifty woman, Mrs. Borg.
00:29:21I hope so. I always try to be.
00:29:26Well, you all got pretty good alibis,
00:29:30and I can't point the finger of suspicion at any of you.
00:29:33All right, now.
00:29:36Jim?
00:29:38I'm going to ask you a kind of a delicate question.
00:29:42Did you ever figure that maybe one of your own kin might have done it?
00:29:47John.
00:29:54Get my will out of that top drawer, please.
00:30:06I think it unnecessary to tell all of you
00:30:10that there is a clause in my will
00:30:14providing that should any of my heirs die before I do,
00:30:21that particular inheritance
00:30:25will not be divided among the survivors.
00:30:31Is it necessary to humiliate us, Uncle Jim?
00:30:34I didn't mean it that way, my dear.
00:30:37I wanted to acquaint everyone with the facts of my will.
00:30:46Is there any reason why I should stay longer?
00:30:49No.
00:30:54Rita, meet you at the stables in a few minutes.
00:30:58If I'm mentioned in this will,
00:31:00I'd like to be cut out of it right now.
00:31:03I don't want anyone around here to think that I have any...
00:31:06Don't get upset, John.
00:31:09Nobody is accusing you of anything.
00:31:13Well, I know that you wouldn't,
00:31:15but I'd prefer it that way.
00:31:21Well, that's all we can do here, Jim.
00:31:25Well, I'll be seeing you after a while.
00:31:36It's puzzling, ain't it?
00:31:38Every dime you go on one of them,
00:31:40you have a good account of themselves.
00:31:42It shows it can't be an inside job.
00:31:44You're wrong, Tex.
00:31:45No, I ain't.
00:31:46We've got to be clearing out of here
00:31:48and go find that Parson fellow.
00:31:50I thought we had another...
00:31:52I know he's a kin of yours.
00:31:54All right, you go get him. I'm staying here.
00:31:56Now listen here, son.
00:31:57This ain't no time for us to bust up.
00:31:59If you think we better stay here, we're staying.
00:32:01There's no doubt about it.
00:32:03Well, we'll stay for a couple of days,
00:32:05but then if we don't catch him,
00:32:07I'll have to go out and find him myself.
00:32:10Now, where are you going?
00:32:12I'm going out with Rita for a while.
00:32:14Now, you have not to be gallivanting around with her
00:32:16when you've got all this work to do.
00:32:18Oh, I'll be back by the time you get back from the village.
00:32:20Who's going to the village?
00:32:22Aren't you taking Fritz down and calling on the coroner?
00:32:25I nearly forgot that.
00:32:27I was counting on going up
00:32:29and having another visit with Jim Ballard.
00:32:31How are you getting along with him?
00:32:33Fine.
00:32:34We were swapping stories this morning about old times.
00:32:37You know, Larry, I had the wrong idea about him.
00:32:40He's all right.
00:32:42When you go down to the stamp mill,
00:32:44disconnect those motors.
00:32:46I meant to do it myself this morning, but...
00:32:48I was just counting on doing that.
00:32:51So long.
00:32:53So long, boy.
00:33:01Don't you think we should get out of that place?
00:33:03Can't. I have to finish my report.
00:33:05Are you sure it's worth it?
00:33:06I have to do it.
00:33:07How much longer will it take?
00:33:09Four or five days.
00:33:10Then are you leaving?
00:33:11I'll say so.
00:33:12Where are you going?
00:33:14Over to Tonto Rim to see my sister
00:33:16and try to land a job at the Black Hill Mines.
00:33:18Where are you going?
00:33:20Back to Texas and try to sell my dad an idea
00:33:22that'll probably get me thrown right out of the house.
00:33:25What is it?
00:33:26You won't laugh, will you?
00:33:27No, of course not.
00:33:28For a long time, I've been thinking of getting a ranch
00:33:31on the island of Maui.
00:33:33In the Hawaiian Islands?
00:33:34Yes, what's wrong with that?
00:33:36Nothing, only the idea just sort of surprised me.
00:33:39What are you going to raise, pineapples?
00:33:41The boy does read the labels on tin cans.
00:33:44No kidding.
00:33:45Where'd you get the idea, out of a book?
00:33:47No, I was there last winter.
00:33:48Visited one of the best stock ranches I ever saw.
00:33:51You can live over there.
00:33:53Looking for a partner?
00:33:55Proposing?
00:33:56A business partnership.
00:33:58I'll think it over.
00:34:15You hurt badly?
00:34:18Someone took a shot at me.
00:34:20Not very good with a gun, though.
00:34:22Must have been the fall off the horse that knocked me out.
00:34:25Did you see who it was?
00:34:26No.
00:34:27There weren't any powder marks.
00:34:29It must have been some distance back in the trees.
00:34:36You think you can make it, John?
00:34:39Yeah, sure.
00:34:41Yeah, sure.
00:35:04Hey, where are you going with them horses?
00:35:06Over the stables.
00:35:07Leave them there and come here.
00:35:11Sit down.
00:35:13I want to talk to you, Larry.
00:35:15What's up?
00:35:17I've just about made up my mind.
00:35:19It's time for me to arrest somebody.
00:35:22Who you going to arrest?
00:35:23John Borg.
00:35:24You got the wrong man.
00:35:25Somebody shot him this afternoon.
00:35:27I just took him off to the house.
00:35:29By doggone him.
00:35:31Now, that's going to upset all my plans.
00:35:34You know, that makes three, if that there varmint's got.
00:35:38Oh, he isn't dead.
00:35:40It was only a superficial wound.
00:35:42What?
00:35:43It was only superficial.
00:35:45Oh, that's what I thought you said.
00:35:48A thing like that can be mighty dangerous.
00:35:51You know, Larry, you've got to stick more on the job.
00:35:56There's too much killing going on around here.
00:35:58Too much shooting.
00:35:59And the sheriff's mighty sore.
00:36:01Did you see the sheriff?
00:36:03No, I talked to him over the phone when I took what was left of Fritz down.
00:36:08I guess he must have been a little upset over Fritz's murder.
00:36:11Well, he seemed to get more excited when I told him that somebody had made away with Adolph Gorge's body.
00:36:19Stolen?
00:36:20Reckon so. It wasn't there when I got down.
00:36:22Why didn't you tell me that yesterday?
00:36:24Well, I figured it was anything to get excited about.
00:36:29It wasn't to get shed of him anyhow.
00:36:39Do you have to do that?
00:36:42John, you may go on with your work.
00:37:09Why don't you taste the coffee, Mrs. Borg?
00:37:23It's terrible here at night, isn't it?
00:37:26Well, I'm sure your uncle doesn't demand that you stay here.
00:37:31Mr. Burrett, one's here.
00:37:45Mrs. Borg, why haven't you put in electric lights?
00:37:48The household is conducted according to the wishes of your uncle.
00:37:52I don't understand.
00:37:54Why haven't you put in electric lights?
00:37:56The household is conducted according to the wishes of your uncle.
00:38:01This place makes me nervous.
00:38:04Lignotte, pull down those curtains.
00:38:09Then you think we should go on with the work?
00:38:12We can't make much headway with the facilities we have.
00:38:16What do you recommend?
00:38:19If it were my place, I'd tear down all the buildings,
00:38:22get rid of the antiquated machinery, and build a modern plant.
00:38:26I don't think it's a good idea.
00:38:29I don't think it's a good idea.
00:38:32I don't think it's a good idea.
00:38:35I don't think it's a good idea.
00:38:37You can't build a modern plant.
00:38:39Oh, that'd cost a lot of money.
00:38:42I'm sure you'd be well repaid for it.
00:38:45It'd take you over a year to do it.
00:38:48About a year.
00:38:52I won't last that long.
00:38:55You'll have to be satisfied with conditions as they are.
00:39:01Hey, don't mind leaving that lamp lit, I've got a lot of work to do tonight.
00:39:14Are you going to your room now?
00:39:16Not for a while.
00:39:23You can't fool me.
00:39:24I know you ain't staying down here just to keep me company.
00:39:32Did she say goodnight or is my hearing going back on me?
00:39:35Don't pay any attention to her.
00:39:37She doesn't like having us around here.
00:39:45I thought I recommended you to turn in early.
00:39:48I'm going, just waiting to say goodnight to you.
00:39:50And I don't like those circles.
00:39:52I'll take them off with cold cream.
00:39:54Now you run along now and get your beauty sleep.
00:39:57You ain't got a thing to worry about as long as you've got me and Larry looking after you.
00:40:01Thanks.
00:40:02Nice of you to say that.
00:40:03Oh, you're on our mind most of the time.
00:40:11Goodnight Larry.
00:40:12Goodnight.
00:41:54You all stay in the house, I'll be out in a minute with the captain.
00:42:21Well, that moor is connected up again as sick as a whistle.
00:42:43What happened?
00:42:44Yeah, they had another customer to take down to the village.
00:42:47He got away on foot, but I got his horse outside.
00:42:50Let's go up to the house.
00:42:51I don't want to stay down here.
00:42:52Who's there?
00:42:53I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I
00:43:21I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I
00:43:51don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don
00:44:21reckon he could have been fooling us last night wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't then on it
00:44:45suppose you go through mrs. Borg's room and see what you can find out wouldn't do any good didn't both you and Rita saying when you see that killer he was a good size or mrs. Borg would have to do is put on a pair of boots and a heavy coat under that black cape and she'd answer the description well along now
00:45:15I
00:45:45Mr. Murdoch you ought to be ashamed of yourself I am I am I I know you ain't mixed up with these crimes mrs. Borg but a duty is a duty well I hope you haven't upset the rest of my belongings oh that's the real old stuff I shouldn't offer you any after the fact I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm
00:46:15sorry the way you've acted but will you have a drink? Oh no I never touch it besides um I'm
00:46:21on duty yet it looks like my my nice stuff though won't you change your mind no I
00:46:30don't care first. You know mrs. Borg I'm just I'm sorry that you kept me
00:46:38searching things this way oh I know you didn't want to do that
00:46:42It probably was Mr. Sutton's idea.
00:46:45At times, I wonder if he really is a mining engineer.
00:46:49He seems so interested in this household.
00:46:53Oh, he's all right. Mrs. Borg?
00:46:56Well, it wouldn't surprise me if you found that he's connected with that Jack Parsons.
00:47:02Who, Larry? Well, you're plum crazy.
00:47:04Well, I'm probably not as easily taken in as you are, Mr. Murdoch.
00:47:09Let me tell you, Mrs. Borg, I'm pretty hard to fool.
00:47:12Nobody ever put anything over on me.
00:47:15Naturally.
00:47:18I've been working night and day on this here case, and I...
00:47:23Oh, sure, I just... Well, I just got to keep my strength.
00:47:29I'll be seeing you.
00:47:37Did you find anything? No.
00:47:39You know what she's trying to do? What?
00:47:41She's trying to make me think you've done it.
00:47:43Why, you don't believe her, do you?
00:47:45No. You didn't do it.
00:47:48Did you?
00:47:51I don't believe you.
00:47:54Did he?
00:47:57Mr. Ballard wants everyone in his room. I'll get the rest of them.
00:48:01Oh, he didn't want to see you, Mr. Murdoch.
00:48:04All right. I ain't a fellow that forces myself on anybody.
00:48:14Do the whole thing and just meet there.
00:48:18Meet there.
00:48:21Well...
00:48:24All right.
00:48:47You know, Larry, hoof prints are just the same as fingerprints.
00:48:51Every one of them is different.
00:48:53I've got a collection of all the horses in this neighborhood, including this one.
00:48:58And as soon as I get the chicken up on these prints, that killer is just the same as catched.
00:49:04I tell you, I'm getting riled up.
00:49:06When I get riled up, somebody's got to land in jail.
00:49:12What's the matter? You know that horse?
00:49:15No. No, I thought...
00:49:18But I guess I'm wrong.
00:49:20Now, look here, son. You don't have to lie to me.
00:49:23There's something about that horse that upsets you.
00:49:26What is it?
00:49:29He belongs to Jack Parsons.
00:49:32Jack Parsons?
00:49:35Yeah.
00:49:38Jack Parsons.
00:49:40Jack Parsons?
00:49:43What makes you think so?
00:49:45I used to ride him myself.
00:49:47Well, it's funny. I didn't recognize him last night.
00:49:49He was too dark.
00:49:51It looks bad, Larry.
00:49:53Parsons is the only fellow that could have been in all them murders.
00:49:57I tell you, it couldn't have been Jack.
00:50:00Well, why not?
00:50:01Because Jack never would have tried to kill me.
00:50:05I hate to admit it, Dad, but I think we'll find Jack, but he won't be alive.
00:50:10Would he ever give you that idea?
00:50:12Just a hunch of mine.
00:50:14Maybe we shouldn't talk about it until I'm sure.
00:50:17Oh, a fellow wrote up here with this telegram.
00:50:36What do you think of it?
00:50:38I think it's going to fix you up fine.
00:50:41Wouldn't be a bit surprised to see you elected sheriff after this is all over.
00:50:45Well, if I am, and you ever want a job as my deputy,
00:50:51just let me know.
00:50:55Well, if I am, and you ever want a job as my deputy,
00:51:00just let me know.
00:51:26Where's Rita?
00:51:27She went inside the house to see Mr. Ballard.
00:51:41I thought Rita was here.
00:51:43No, I'm waiting for her.
00:51:48I'll get her for you.
00:51:53Sutton's been all over the place the last four hours trying to find her.
00:51:57She's in Wellies' safe place.
00:52:00Are you sure he won't be able to find her if she starts yelling?
00:52:04He won't find her.
00:52:07I just phoned the sheriff, Larry, and he's coming down here with some of his men.
00:52:11Thanks, Tex, but they can't do any more than we've done.
00:52:15I don't know what to do.
00:52:17Let's go up there at the house and arrest everybody in it.
00:52:20If we use some strong tactics, maybe we can force a confession out of them.
00:52:23That won't get us any place. They might take the revenge out on Rita.
00:52:27Her safety's the only thing I care about.
00:52:29You think somebody could have took her away from here?
00:52:32No. I know who's behind all this, but we're trapped.
00:52:35We can't make a move.
00:52:44See who that is.
00:52:51Looking for somebody?
00:52:54I'm looking for Mr. Murdock. I'm Mrs. Ballard.
00:52:57I'm Deputy Sheriff Murdock.
00:53:00Mind going to my cabin where we can talk things over?
00:53:05Oh, excuse me, ma'am.
00:53:08I always have Mr. Sutton, my assistant deputy, in on these conferences.
00:53:12You mind going in, and I'll fetch him.
00:53:17Hey, Larry!
00:53:20She's here!
00:53:22Who's here? Rita?
00:53:24No, Mrs. Ballard. I got her corralled over there in my cabin.
00:53:31Well, this has completely unnerved me.
00:53:34But I'll try to do exactly as you've asked me to.
00:53:38You go into the house alone. We'll be watching the rest.
00:53:42You go into the house alone. We'll be watching the rest.
00:54:12Still the same neat housekeeper, Mrs. Borg.
00:54:36What's the matter?
00:54:40What are you here for?
00:54:43You haven't been here for 30 years.
00:54:46And we've got along all right.
00:54:48I don't doubt it.
00:54:50Mr. Ballard always seemed to be very fond of you.
00:54:56Where is he?
00:54:59He's not here.
00:55:02Go up and tell him I wish to see him.
00:55:05He's not here!
00:55:10You're not going up there.
00:55:13Mrs. Borg, get out of my way.
00:55:16You're not going up there to make his last hours miserable.
00:55:20He's on his deathbed, I tell you.
00:55:22Oh, I know what you want to talk to him for.
00:55:25It's the only reason why you came here.
00:55:27About the money.
00:55:29The money that you think you're going to get out of him.
00:55:31But he doesn't want to see you, and he won't see you.
00:55:35And you're not going up there.
00:55:38John! John!
00:55:40Lingard!
00:55:43Lingard.
00:55:45You know better than that.
00:56:08Mr. Ballard.
00:56:10Your wife is here.
00:56:17Mrs. Ballard.
00:56:23He's not my husband.
00:56:26He's Adolph Borg, isn't he?
00:56:32Your game's up, Borg.
00:56:35Take me out of here, please.
00:56:38Now, Tex, arrest Mrs. Borg and John.
00:56:41And Lingard, too.
00:56:50Why are they gone? You stay here. I've got to go get them.
00:56:58Look out! It's the law talking to you! You'd better stop!
00:57:05Stop!
00:57:21Drop the laws on him!
00:57:36What'll we do, Mother?
00:57:39There is a chance.
00:57:41Your father can escape through the house to the mill.
00:57:45He may need you. Go down there.
00:57:48You want me to sign this, Mr. Sutton, don't you?
00:57:53There's nothing in there that you haven't told me.
00:57:56You killed Jim Ballard.
00:57:59You killed Jim Ballard.
00:58:02There's nothing in there that you haven't told me.
00:58:05You killed Jim Ballard thinking you could take his place...
00:58:08so you and your family would have his fortune.
00:58:11You saw to it that no one would be able to recognize Ballard's body...
00:58:14and you had either John or Lingard take it away from the village.
00:58:18You did away with Jack Parsons...
00:58:21when he became suspicious of your schemes.
00:58:24You fixed it up so Parsons would be suspected of murder.
00:58:27You tried to frighten away the Ballard heirs...
00:58:30Failing in that, you started to do away with them and me.
00:58:33Your family and Lingard have been in on the whole scheme with you.
00:58:36You had your son make out he'd been shot...
00:58:39in front of Lingard's razors when you attacked Flora.
00:58:42And whenever you left this room, you had one of them fire from that window...
00:58:46so it would appear to all of us that you were here.
00:58:49You still want me to sign this?
00:58:54Sit down and listen to me.
00:59:01Give me your gun with one bullet...
00:59:05and let me be alone for a few minutes.
00:59:10And I'll sign this...
00:59:13and leave a note so you can find Rita.
00:59:18I don't want this state of Nevada to kill me.
00:59:26I can attend to that myself.
00:59:29You can't escape paying for what you've done.
00:59:33Rita means everything to you, doesn't she?
00:59:38She's far more important than what happens to me.
00:59:45And whether you ever see her again...
00:59:50depends on yourself.
00:59:54You'll tell me where Rita is before we're through, or I'll...
00:59:57Oh, don't threaten me.
01:00:00You could kill me, but...
01:00:04I'm not afraid of death.
01:00:08Now, Mr. Sutton, what is your decision?
01:00:14What is your decision?
01:00:44I promise you I'll leave the note.
01:01:14I'll leave the note.
01:01:44Help!
01:02:14Help!
01:02:44Help!
01:03:14Help!
01:03:17Help!
01:03:20Help!
01:03:23Help!
01:03:26Help!
01:03:29Help!

01:03:44Well, I'm getting doggone tired of talking to everybody in that courthouse.

01:03:57Hello. Hello, Judge.

01:04:03Borgs and Charlin case yet?
01:04:07Charlin case yet?
01:04:1020 years. Oh, that's fine.
01:04:13I'm just writing to some friends of mine in foreign waters.
01:04:16They'll be glad to hear that.
01:04:18Yeah. Say, be sure that somebody don't talk you into paroling that gang.
01:04:25Especially that Chinaman.

01:04:29Yeah. Yeah. Well, good-bye, Judge.

01:04:56Guess we'll have to buy Tex a typewriter. I can hardly read his handwriting.
01:05:00What are those?
01:05:01Sourdough biscuits.
01:05:05What's that?
01:05:06Hawaiian folk. We're sitting on top of the world.
