1:23:00
I hope you're well.
1:23:03
His plan was working beautifully.
1:23:06
Everybody believed
that Wynant was in town...
1:23:09
and that he had done it.
1:23:10
There was just one hitch.
1:23:12
A bird named Nunheim, your friend.
1:23:15
Nunheim had gone to call on her.
1:23:17
He heard the shots.
He saw the murderer leave.
1:23:20
He knew who did it.
1:23:21
If he knew, he didn't tell me!
You can't drag me into this!
1:23:26
Our hero had paid Nunheim once
to keep his mouth shut.
1:23:29
And when Nunheim threatened him again,
he bumped him off.
1:23:32
He was very clever.
1:23:33
Everybody, even our astute friend Guild,
thought that Wynant was alive...
1:23:37
and that he was the murderer.
1:23:38
You can skip that.
1:23:39
But our hero had just one
weak link in his chain.
1:23:43
The telegrams and phone calls
were all very well...
1:23:46
but no one had actually seen Wynant.
1:23:48
So our hero picked on poor Mimi here
to strengthen his case.
1:23:52
Mimi is the only one at this table
who can tell us who the real murderer is.
1:23:55
Mimi, who was it who told you
to say you saw Wynant?
1:23:59
- Nobody told me, I did see him!
- Why don't you let my mother alone?
1:24:03
What were you paid to stick to that story?
1:24:05
It isn't a story, it's true!
I did see him! He isn't dead!
1:24:07
You're lying, Mimi.
1:24:09
But you'd do anything for money.
1:24:10
You're getting a good price
for saying you saw Wynant.
1:24:13
You figure you won't get anything
if he's dead.
1:24:15
- I'm not going to stay here to be insulted!
- Sit down.
1:24:17
MacCaulay, you drew up Wynant's will.
1:24:19
Mimi was cut off, wasn't she,
if she remarried?
1:24:21
I have no right to answer that.
1:24:23
- How about it, Tanner? Isn't that true?
- Yes.
1:24:25
You shouldn't let that keep you
from telling the truth.
1:24:27
- Mrs. Jorgensen.
- Yes?
1:24:29
Were you ever divorced
from Chris Jorgensen?
1:24:31
No.
1:24:32
So you see, Mimi,
under the law, you've never remarried.
1:24:35
You're still one of the heirs.
So what are you holding out for?
1:24:38
A few crummy dollars,
when you can get the whole estate?
1:24:41
Remember the other two
who were mixed in with him on this...
1:24:43
Julia and Nunheim.
1:24:45
When he thought they might
spill something, he bumped them off.
1:24:47
You ought to know he's not going
to take any chances on you.
1:24:50
What do you want to do,
be next on his list?
1:24:52
Why, you dirty little...
1:24:55
- Well, there's your murderer: MacCaulay.
- MacCaulay?
1:24:58
Sure, do you want me
to wrap him up in cellophane?
