Worf would you pray why did you see him do it miss Walsh no I didn't but he had the gun he had the gun in his hand when I came in you've been butting into police affairs for a long time Cranston but this time I think you're stuck Cardona you're not accusing inspector don't be silly I'm not never murdered anyone that I know of David Jacobs stay Hitler medical examiner gets here all right folks we'll continue this at headquarters now why did you shoot Kessler I didn't try and prove definitely put Ann Walsh understand she was lying why should she I don't know said you never met her before tonight no never and why should she lie about you that's what I'd like to know well come on let's get this thing over with is that what you said to kiss day before you shot him I didn't shoot him you had the gun I told you that I was knocked out of when I came to her the gun was in my hand your new Kester was in our curio dealer aisle I've heard of him that he had some strange friend when did you first meet him when he was dead and I didn't kill him I didn't even know the man you need an introduction before murdering someone I know it's a little more polite now about the old clothes that we found in your private taxicab I told you about them you said you wear them to visit a flophouse yeah while investigating the James Douglas murder a case which you have done nothing about yet inspector wagon honest why were you at the flat house because I had a tip someone from there hired a taxi to go to the Douglas home the night that Douglas was murdered so you're mixed up in two murders oh yeah but not the way you were thinking unless I said to you ten times before this month why don't you find the missing lady and as I told you 40 times no missing woman has been reported and you're being questioned not me you think you can accuse them out of murder I'll show you go very well move it what's this about a murder I haven't touched her yet her I'm talking about Lamont oh he's in Cardinals office Commissioner watch I'll see Cardona okay everybody out and now you can tell them all to Burwick you've got a long way he's staying inspector this is ridiculous it's true even if Cranston is your nephew Commissioner it's not true uncle I don't know needs radar even to find his way home now look how are you look and listen you say Lamont had the gun in his hand make a paraffin test he did on me and two women fine any powder stains you didn't Arnie or the women I'm not satisfied with a test what you wanna leave this to me Lamont no inspector just what did happen they're keeping you in jail no I'll be out in a minute you remember the Jeff man case yeah when you had to clear the shadow on a murder right only this time the shadow has to clear me I still have a hunch at the Douglas case is tied up with tonight's murder you're mixed up in something else no wonder they're in trouble investigating crimes without us along to help them but no you have nothing on which to hold him but nothing but coincidental circumstance but well just because he's your name your back turn I'm gonna release you can go Cranston Thank You uncle but be on hand when I want you great and I said when not if Thank You uncle [Music] miss Walsh why did you accuse Cranston of murder I saw him with the gun what did you see when you first came into this room Alfred kissed his body then you screamed yes and fainted yes and why accuse Cranston the gun it was mine so you were being framed what is that to do with the Jade lady in the diamonds the Jade lead then you know yes don't try to leave town miss Walsh I'll be seeing you again soon [Music] [Applause] I wasn't expecting you don't stare at me like that no I didn't talk to anybody I'm telling the truth you've got to believe me [Music] [Music] [Music] No you get hurt sneaking around this way sure and you can too rocks don't try to be as smart as you think yeah come after what belongs to me Oh No from now on it's a case of finders keepers the lady belongs to me and I'm getting her tonight so keep out of my way very funny Gilda what are you doing here at this time of the night I came to see you I found someone searching your apartment Wofford woz got away as I came in well I I wonder what they were out there I wouldn't know if you don't but what are you doing here I thought you might want to know that Chester was murdered tonight in Anne's apartment Chester murdered by whom police have arrested a man named Lamont Cranston Cranston the fellow who lives in this building what possible motive could he have to kill Chester perhaps we should go down and talk to N no no I I don't want to be involved in any murders [Music] you don't cook if she thinks she can accuse LaMotta murder out I'm scared oh we can handle her Oh packing up to leave after accusing Lamont of murder I'll keep her here Jenny if I have to fight her me too let me have a wallet better too now and then huh yeah maybe she went out there I'll bet she went out that way this is a heavy well there's nothing here let's go see what she packed wait for me I'm scared what's wrong whoa where did you get this near her body whose body that woman miss Walsh watch everyone out in the hall for we heard a scream so did we a moment ago oh no she couldn't have screamed because she was dead when we found her and called the police five minutes ago excusing me of two murders in one night inspector I haven't got that much energy station inspector there's no use building shut up now you see you got me doing well Cranston drives me I ride you you rile me and I always end up at the worst of it alright let's start all over again I still think that the murders tying with the Douglas case you're gonna start that all over again the motive for the three murders is the missing lady listen the Douglas people say that no woman in their family is missing they're keeping it quiet hoping to get her back the trouble with you inspector is you don't know who this particular lady is how can I find out who's missing when nobody has been kidnapped or disappeared I said if you need a shot at her she wasn't kidnapped she was stolen Cranston I have a little private talk with your work do you mind not at all I'm glad you're willing to take a hint from Lamont yeah that's what I'm going to talk to him about commissioner a hint yes given you dated Chris then stay out of my hair apart yours with a baseball bat oh yeah get me yeah yeah I do but I still think you should find the missing lady anything else you want to say yeah I want to say I want to say thanks for the hint Lamont oh hello commissioner it's nice to see you too cooperating in police work yes it's nice work I wonder how I'd be as a police inspector Tara but you're too much like that one we got oh so long inspector [Music] [Music] surprise oh how long have you been here I didn't time myself they didn't keep you in jail no thanks to you well I only told the police what I saw mr. Cranston hmm well since we're this close why not call me Lamont why I'd love to Lamont oh yeah now we seem ready for some collective bargaining just where do you fit and what's been going on you don't think I had anything to do with these murders why should a golf club had to be left at the scene of the murder when the victim Ann Walsh died of bullet wounds I don't know what you're talking about oh that's all right I actually do myself well I have to go oh not without telling me why you're here and what you're looking for are you really interested definitely I'm glad it's always so much easier to tell my troubles to a man especially when we were alone good now tell me what were you looking for I thought I left a compact here in that desk you sure you weren't looking for her you mean Ann no no I mean that jade lady that got a raise out of your eyebrows didn't it do you mind if I smoke no no not at all I would you like one no thank you Oh Oh allow me [Music] yes are you all right I haven't fully recovered from meeting you yet you have a terrifically streamlined way of showing it so you've got the keys to my apartment -
