00:00.000 --> 00:09.760
Danger, excitement, adventure. Boston Blackie.

00:09.760 --> 00:20.760
Enemy of those who make him an enemy. Friend of those who have no friends.

00:20.760 --> 00:25.760
Yes sir, that's Boston Blackie and he's quite a guy.

00:25.760 --> 00:37.480
preservation.

00:37.640 --> 00:40.280
Pretty.

00:40.340 --> 00:41.780
Pretty.

00:41.760 --> 00:45.500
Pretty.

00:45.480 --> 00:46.440
Pretty.

00:46.440 --> 00:53.180
Pretty.

00:53.180 --> 00:54.820
I'll be right back.

00:54.920 --> 00:55.820
Come on.

00:55.920 --> 00:56.720
Come on.

00:56.820 --> 00:57.520
Come on.

01:01.620 --> 01:02.560
OK, Dave, I made it.

01:02.660 --> 01:03.900
Let's get out of here.

01:09.540 --> 01:11.300
I'll never forget this, Dave.

01:11.400 --> 01:13.380
You were right there with the car, the clothes,

01:13.480 --> 01:14.400
and the plane ticket.

01:14.500 --> 01:15.200
Who?

01:18.740 --> 01:19.840
Oh, excuse me.

01:19.940 --> 01:20.840
Want one of these?

01:20.940 --> 01:21.720
Yeah.

01:21.720 --> 01:24.720
It's been rugged on the outside with you and the pen, Bonnie.

01:24.820 --> 01:25.880
Real rugged.

01:25.980 --> 01:28.160
Oh, I picked up a contract here and there,

01:28.260 --> 01:29.520
but it's no living.

01:29.620 --> 01:31.620
I had to shove four boys in an old aim

01:31.720 --> 01:33.660
to get the dough to spring yet.

01:33.760 --> 01:35.600
That's all in the past, kid.

01:35.700 --> 01:37.060
No more killing.

01:37.160 --> 01:39.960
We'll hop off to LA and knock over that bank I cased just

01:40.060 --> 01:41.560
before they sent me up.

01:41.560 --> 01:52.300
We'll be living on the fat of the land from here on in.

02:11.560 --> 02:12.400
Morning, Lucky.

02:12.500 --> 02:13.400
Hiya, Jim. How's the boy?

02:13.500 --> 02:14.400
Fine.

02:14.500 --> 02:15.300
Thanks.

02:15.400 --> 02:16.260
Still giving away money on these things?

02:16.360 --> 02:17.100
I guess so.

02:22.900 --> 02:26.700
Lucky, I don't mean to be crazy, but isn't that

02:26.800 --> 02:28.300
Bonnie Stevens over there?

02:28.400 --> 02:29.500
What about that guy?

02:29.600 --> 02:30.540
He's a real good guy.

02:30.640 --> 02:31.540
Oh, I'll tell you what.

02:31.640 --> 02:32.500
He's a real good guy.

02:32.600 --> 02:33.500
He's a real good guy.

02:33.600 --> 02:34.500
I'll tell you what.

02:34.600 --> 02:35.500
He's a real good guy.

02:35.600 --> 02:36.440
He's a real good guy.

02:36.540 --> 02:37.480
He's a real good guy.

02:37.580 --> 02:38.480
He's a real good guy.

02:38.580 --> 02:39.480
He's a real good guy.

02:39.580 --> 02:40.480
He's a real good guy.

02:40.480 --> 02:41.580
He's a real good guy.

02:41.680 --> 02:42.800
How's the boy over there?

02:42.900 --> 02:46.460
What about him breaking out of prison back east last week?

02:46.560 --> 02:47.360
Could be.

02:47.460 --> 02:48.160
Let's check on it.

02:51.960 --> 02:53.460
Well, pardon me.

02:53.560 --> 02:54.460
Mm-hm?

02:54.560 --> 02:55.480
Would you settle a little bet for me?

02:55.580 --> 02:57.040
If I can.

02:57.140 --> 03:00.280
The seller down here bet me that you're Barney Stevens.

03:00.380 --> 03:01.980
You're kidding.

03:02.080 --> 02:52.880
You mean, I really look like Barney Stevens, the bank

robber?

03:04.980 --> 03:06.180
Yes, you do look like me.

03:06.280 --> 03:09.220

Gentleman I'm trying to talk on the phone and I go for you to whitey.

06:11.260 --> 06:17.140
Well at least when he's eating. Patience for a day this is only the second time

06:17.160 --> 06:21.580
around for Laura and if I know our Mary this conversation can't go on for over an

06:21.580 --> 06:27.580
hour. Well black is right here I'll ask him.

06:29.420 --> 06:35.420
By and don't worry dear. I had

06:35.420 --> 06:41.620
a threatening phone call someone said Jim be sorry to recognize Barney Stevens. I

06:41.620 --> 06:45.260
was afraid of that Jim's boss had to give him the hero treatment you know press

06:45.260 --> 06:50.580
conferences the whole works well Stevens has some trigger happy pals and from the

06:50.580 --> 06:55.340
papers it looks like pressure took Stevens single handed I think we better get over

06:55.340 --> 06:58.820

06:58.820 --> 07:03.260

07:37.100 --> 07:38.100
A.

07:38.100 --> 07:40.100
A.

07:40.100 --> 07:41.100
A.

07:41.100 --> 07:42.100
A.

07:42.100 --> 07:43.100
A.

07:43.100 --> 07:44.100
A.

07:44.100 --> 07:45.100
A.

07:45.100 --> 07:46.100
A.

07:46.100 --> 07:49.600
Oh, Jim, honey, don't try to move.

07:49.600 --> 07:52.600
Oh, Jim, the man who did it.

07:52.600 --> 07:54.600
I'll never forget his face.

07:54.600 --> 07:57.100
If it's the last thing I do, I'll never.

07:57.100 --> 07:58.600
No, no, Laura.

07:58.600 --> 08:00.600
Nothing.

08:00.600 --> 08:02.600
Nothing must happen to you.

08:02.600 --> 08:03.600
Please.

08:03.600 --> 08:04.600
Promise.

08:04.600 --> 08:05.600
Forget.

08:05.600 --> 08:06.600
Jim, honey.

08:10.600 --> 08:11.600
I'm sorry.

08:11.600 --> 08:12.600
I'm sorry.

08:12.600 --> 08:13.600
I'm sorry.

08:13.600 --> 08:14.600
I'm sorry.

08:14.600 --> 08:16.100
I'm sorry.

08:16.100 --> 08:18.100
Jim?

08:18.100 --> 08:20.100
Jim!

08:20.100 --> 08:21.100
Jim!

08:21.100 --> 08:22.100
Jim!

08:22.100 --> 08:23.100
Jim!

08:23.100 --> 08:49.100
Jim, I can't believe it.

08:49.100 --> 08:52.100
Jim was doing so well at the bank.

08:52.100 --> 08:56.100
He had everything to look forward to, and now...

08:56.100 --> 09:01.100
Oh, why did he have to get mixed up in this?

09:01.100 --> 09:05.100
Laura, you feel like telling us how it happened?

09:05.100 --> 09:09.600
I ran to the bus to meet Jim, to warn him about that phone call.

09:09.600 --> 09:13.100
He'd just gotten off the bus when I heard the shot.

09:13.100 --> 09:16.100
Where'd the shots come from?

09:16.100 --> 09:18.600
I don't know.

09:18.600 --> 09:20.600
A car, maybe?

09:20.600 --> 09:23.100
There was a car driving by just then.

09:23.100 --> 09:25.100
Did you see who was in it?

09:25.100 --> 09:26.100
No, I didn't.

09:26.100 --> 09:28.100
It happened so fast.

09:28.100 --> 09:31.100
Can you remember the maker, model, or perhaps the license number?

09:31.100 --> 09:32.100
I don't know.

09:32.100 --> 09:34.100
I don't know.

09:34.100 --> 09:35.100
Oh, Laura.

09:35.100 --> 09:36.100
I left him alone.

09:36.100 --> 09:41.100
All I wanted to be was to live alone.

09:41.100 --> 09:44.100
I got a feeling she's covering up for somebody.

09:44.100 --> 09:45.100
She's very upset.

09:45.100 --> 09:46.600
Well, you can't blame her.

09:46.600 --> 09:49.100
Look, we're not going to do any good here, so let's shove off.

09:49.100 --> 09:51.100
Lucky, she shouldn't be alone.

09:51.100 --> 09:52.100
I'll stay the night with her.

09:52.100 --> 09:54.100
Oh, fine.

09:54.100 --> 09:56.100
When she quiets down, see if you can get her to remember something

09:56.100 --> 09:58.100
that might give us a lead on the accident.

09:58.100 --> 10:00.100
Whitey, you stay here and take care of things.

10:00.100 --> 10:03.100
Listen, I hate this job, but I hate a killer worse.

10:03.100 --> 10:05.100
Let's go out and get him.

10:05.100 --> 10:08.100
Look, suppose you take out all the mug files on Bonnie's pals

10:08.100 --> 10:10.100
and leave me at my apartment in the morning.

10:10.100 --> 10:12.100
We'll come out here and talk to Laura again,

10:12.100 --> 10:13.100
and after the shot, we'll go out again.

10:13.100 --> 10:35.100
All right.

10:35.100 --> 10:36.100
Hiya, Blackie.

10:36.100 --> 10:38.100
Morning, Inspector.

10:38.100 --> 10:39.100
What happened to you?

10:39.100 --> 10:40.600
You look like you've been pulled through a ringer.

10:40.600 --> 10:41.600
Yeah.

10:41.600 --> 10:43.100
Well, this morning, a committee phoned the mayor.

10:43.100 --> 10:44.100
The mayor phoned the chief.

10:44.100 --> 10:45.100
You get the picture?

10:45.100 --> 10:46.100
Yeah, I'm afraid I do.

10:46.100 --> 10:47.100
Any leads?

10:47.100 --> 10:49.100
Well, nothing you can hang your hat on.

10:49.100 --> 10:51.100
I put out a reader on everybody that talked to Stevens.

10:51.100 --> 11:08.100
Picked up a couple of them, and they're alibis that make you weak.

11:08.100 --> 11:10.100
That Barney Stevens is a comedian.

11:10.100 --> 11:13.100
We had him in the interrogation room last night for six hours.

11:13.100 --> 11:15.100
He had a ball.

11:15.100 --> 11:19.100
Let's see what we can do with Mrs. Fletcher.

11:19.100 --> 11:22.100
Have another cup, Laura.

11:22.100 --> 11:25.100
Thanks, Mary.

11:25.100 --> 11:28.100
I can't tell you what it's meant to have you here.

11:28.100 --> 11:32.100
Otherwise, I don't know how I'd have gotten through the night alone.

11:32.100 --> 11:34.100
Oh, Laura, you're never alone.

11:34.100 --> 11:37.100
There are people all around you who could help you.

11:37.100 --> 11:43.100
If you're holding something back, I know what I'm doing.

11:43.100 --> 11:51.100
That must be Blackie.

11:51.100 --> 11:52.100
Hi, Mary.

11:52.100 --> 11:53.100
Hi, Barney.

11:53.100 --> 11:54.100
Hi, Fletcher.

11:54.100 --> 11:55.100
Morning, Mary.

11:55.100 --> 11:58.100
Oh, great.

11:58.100 --> 12:00.100
A fine watchdog you turned out to be.

12:00.100 --> 12:03.100
Well, come on, wake up and explain yourself.

12:03.100 --> 12:05.100
Didn't sleep a wink all night.

12:05.100 --> 12:07.100
Why, he isn't the only one.

12:07.100 --> 12:08.100
Good morning, Blackie.

12:08.100 --> 12:09.100
Inspector Faraday.

12:09.100 --> 12:10.100
Good morning.

12:10.100 --> 12:11.100
Morning, Laura.

12:11.100 --> 12:12.100
How do you feel?

12:12.100 --> 12:13.100
All right, thanks.

12:13.100 --> 12:15.100
Laura, we're not going to beat around the bush,

12:15.100 --> 12:17.100
so I'm going to come right to the point.

12:17.100 --> 12:19.100
Inspector Faraday has some photographs of non-associates

12:19.100 --> 12:20.100
of Barney Stevens.

12:20.100 --> 12:22.100
Of course, the man we want may not be among these.

12:22.100 --> 12:23.100
He could be.

12:23.100 --> 12:26.100
But would you mind looking them over, Mrs. Fletcher?

12:26.100 --> 12:44.100
If you recognize anyone in there, let us know, would you?

12:44.100 --> 12:47.100
There's one thing I want to make clear, Mrs. Fletcher.

12:47.100 --> 12:49.100
If you do identify the man who shot your husband,

12:49.100 --> 12:53.100
you'll have police protection until we apprehend the killer.

12:53.100 --> 12:55.100
You have nothing to fear.

12:55.100 --> 12:57.100
I'm sorry, Inspector.

12:57.100 --> 13:00.100
I told you I didn't recognize the man who shot my husband.

13:00.100 --> 13:02.100
Excuse me.

13:02.100 --> 13:05.100
Surely.

13:05.100 --> 13:06.100
Hello?

13:06.100 --> 13:09.100
You're playing it real smart, lady.

13:09.100 --> 13:12.100
Keep it that way and you keep breathing.

13:12.100 --> 13:21.100
You know what happens to squealers.

13:21.100 --> 13:23.100
I'm wrong.

13:23.100 --> 13:27.100
Very well.

13:27.100 --> 13:31.100
I'm ready to identify the man who shot my husband.

13:31.100 --> 13:37.100
You already have, Laura.

13:37.100 --> 13:38.100
Dave Brubaker.

13:38.100 --> 13:41.100
This gets us off the ground.

13:41.100 --> 13:48.100
I'm going to take this downtown.

13:48.100 --> 13:50.100
Today, the widow of James Fletcher

13:50.100 --> 13:53.100
identified Dave Brubaker, whose picture is now on your screen,

13:53.100 --> 13:55.100
as the man who shot and killed her husband

13:55.100 --> 13:57.100
in front of their suburban home.

13:57.100 --> 14:00.100
In the past, Brubaker has been arrested in connection

14:00.100 --> 14:02.100
with a number of underworld killings,

14:02.100 --> 14:04.100
but has always managed to escape conviction.

14:04.100 --> 14:07.100
Police know him as an extremely dangerous customer.

14:07.100 --> 14:09.100
You can say that again.

14:09.100 --> 14:28.100
Hmm.

14:28.100 --> 14:52.100
Car 112, go to Wilshire and Vernon, a 605.

14:52.100 --> 14:59.100
Car 76, go to 6072, Barbara Place, a 35.

15:52.100 --> 15:53.100
Where's the fire?

15:53.100 --> 15:56.100
Down the next street, 1637.

15:56.100 --> 15:58.100
1637!

15:58.100 --> 16:23.100
1637!

16:23.100 --> 16:32.100
What's all this about?

16:32.100 --> 16:35.100
Looks like the place is on fire.

16:35.100 --> 16:47.100
Okay, boys, let's get going.

16:47.100 --> 16:55.100
All right, all right, come on.

16:55.100 --> 17:04.100
What's going on?

17:04.100 --> 17:05.100
Where is it?

17:05.100 --> 17:06.100
Where's what?

17:06.100 --> 17:07.100
There's no fire here.

17:07.100 --> 17:08.100
Will you check?

17:08.100 --> 17:14.100
We got an alarm from here.

17:14.100 --> 17:23.100
Take the kitchen, run to your boys, take the bag out.

17:23.100 --> 17:30.100
Nothing wrong in here.

17:30.100 --> 17:32.100
I tell you, you're wrong, there's no fire here.

17:32.100 --> 17:34.100
The man said 1637.

17:34.100 --> 17:35.100
What man?

17:35.100 --> 17:37.100
Well, the man that turned in the alarm.

17:37.100 --> 17:39.100
Turned in the...

17:39.100 --> 17:40.100
What'd he look like?

17:40.100 --> 17:42.100
Just an ordinary sort of a guy.

17:42.100 --> 17:43.100
How about the kitchen, Slim?

17:43.100 --> 17:44.100
Everything's all right in there.

17:44.100 --> 17:45.100
How about the back of the house?

17:45.100 --> 17:46.100
Not a thing wrong, Chief.

17:46.100 --> 17:48.100
Well, it looks like you were right.

17:48.100 --> 17:51.100
Some people think a false alarm is a big joke.

17:51.100 --> 18:01.100
Come on, boys.

18:01.100 --> 18:03.100
You know, there's something wrong going on here.

18:03.100 --> 18:04.100
I don't buy that false alarm story.

18:04.100 --> 18:05.100
It's too pat.

18:05.100 --> 18:15.100
I'm going to have a look around.

18:15.100 --> 18:40.100
It's only the cat.

18:40.100 --> 18:42.100
Tabby come here.

18:42.100 --> 18:43.100
Why don't you pick up the cat?

18:43.100 --> 18:45.100
Tabby come here.

18:45.100 --> 18:47.100
Why don't you pick on someone your size?

18:47.100 --> 18:48.100
Just a minute, sweetheart.

18:48.100 --> 18:49.100
Don't move.

18:49.100 --> 18:51.100
Oh, so you're the rat that turned in the false alarm.

18:51.100 --> 18:52.100
Yeah.

18:52.100 --> 18:54.100
Pretty clever of me, wasn't it?

18:54.100 --> 18:56.100
Now get back in the other room.

18:56.100 --> 18:58.100
Real slow and easy.

18:58.100 --> 18:59.100
All right, let's go.

18:59.100 --> 19:07.100
You heard what he said.

19:07.100 --> 19:08.100
Lucky, this man says...

19:08.100 --> 19:09.100
Forget what he says.

19:09.100 --> 19:10.100
...Fruitt Baker.

19:10.100 --> 19:11.100
Hold it, Collins.

19:11.100 --> 19:12.100
Yeah, everybody hold it.

19:12.100 --> 19:17.100
I don't want to kill her here, but I will if I have to.

19:17.100 --> 19:18.100
Come on.

19:18.100 --> 19:19.100
Now don't anybody follow me.

19:19.100 --> 19:20.100
Understand?

19:20.100 --> 19:21.100
Hey, Collins, get on there and broadcast the news.

19:21.100 --> 19:42.100
Seven Nara, 34330.

19:42.100 --> 20:11.100
Attention all cars.

20:11.100 --> 20:19.100
Be on the lookout for gray and green hardtop, license number seven, Nara, 34330.

20:19.100 --> 20:23.100
Last seen heading south from the vicinity of Westland and Appian Way.

20:23.100 --> 20:30.100
Repeat.

20:30.100 --> 20:36.100
Heading south from Westland Avenue and Appian Way, this car is driven by Dave Brubaker,

20:36.100 --> 20:41.100
who is armed and dangerous and who is holding a woman prisoner in his car.

20:41.100 --> 20:45.100
Do not attempt to stop him as he may injure or kill the woman.

20:45.100 --> 20:48.100
Keep him under surveillance and report in.

20:48.100 --> 20:49.100
Repeat.

20:49.100 --> 20:52.100
He is armed and dangerous and has a woman prisoner.

20:52.100 --> 21:14.100
Keep him under surveillance and report in.

21:14.100 --> 21:35.100
I could have shot you when I got your old man, but I thought maybe you'd take the hint.

21:35.100 --> 21:37.100
Keep your mouth shut.

21:37.100 --> 21:39.100
I hate to kill a dame.

21:39.100 --> 21:40.100
Then why did you bring me here?

21:40.100 --> 21:45.100
I had to get out of the house, baby, past the cops.

21:45.100 --> 21:48.100
So now we'll just wear up our account.

21:48.100 --> 21:51.100
Your husband put his finger on my best pal.

21:51.100 --> 21:53.100
You know what he got.

21:53.100 --> 21:56.100
You put the finger on me?

21:56.100 --> 21:57.100
Okay.

21:57.100 --> 21:59.100
Now it's your turn.

21:59.100 --> 22:21.100
Help!

22:21.100 --> 22:23.100
Brubaker's in there someplace.

22:23.100 --> 22:25.100
A prowl car traced him this far.

22:25.100 --> 22:27.100
I told the boys not to move until we got here.

22:27.100 --> 22:29.100
I'm taking no chances with that girl's life.

22:29.100 --> 22:30.100
Mary, you stay here.

22:30.100 --> 22:31.100
Why do you think that she does?

22:31.100 --> 22:33.100
Here, use this if you have to.

22:33.100 --> 22:35.100
If you can't get out, I got every exit blocked.

22:35.100 --> 22:36.100
Good.

22:36.100 --> 22:57.100
I'll be right back.

22:57.100 --> 23:25.100
I'll be right back.

23:25.100 --> 23:27.100
Where is he?

23:27.100 --> 23:28.100
He's around here someplace.

23:28.100 --> 23:50.100
Watch yourself.

23:50.100 --> 23:59.100
It's all yours, Faraday.

23:59.100 --> 24:01.100
Whitey, I thought I told you to stay here

24:01.100 --> 24:02.100
and see that Mary didn't leave.

24:02.100 --> 24:04.100
Can I trust you with all anymore?

24:04.100 --> 24:07.100
Blacky.

24:07.100 --> 24:08.100
Stop picking on Whitey.

24:08.100 --> 24:09.100
I'm the bad one.

24:09.100 --> 24:10.100
I had to find Laura.

24:10.100 --> 24:13.100
Okay, you're forgiven.

24:13.100 --> 24:15.100
Whitey, you're forgiven too.

24:15.100 --> 24:43.100
I'll be right back.

24:43.100 --> 25:08.100
I'll be right back.

25:08.100 --> 25:13.100
I'll be right back.
