WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:20.720 Broadway's My Beat, from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest, the most violent, the 00:20.720 --> 00:33.600 lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway's My Beat, the thrilling drama of murder and mystery 00:33.600 --> 00:58.960 and the people who walk the great white way, starring Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover. 00:58.960 --> 01:03.560 In the morning, a kind of silence touches Broadway. The color has been squeezed from it, drained, 01:03.560 --> 01:10.000 spent by the wanton night. The neon is still in a spectacular sleep. The scavengers walk soft, 01:10.000 --> 01:14.520 grubbed furtively in the refuse of the night. And if you listen close, you can hear the wind, 01:14.520 --> 01:20.360 and it's the same wind that purrs through ruins. At headquarters, you welcome Broadway's silence, 01:20.360 --> 01:25.520 but you know it'll splinter in your face, and it does. Its shape is a slip of paper tossed 01:25.520 --> 01:30.520 carelessly on your desk. On it are written the words, homicide, Olympian Hotel, room 312. 01:30.520 --> 01:42.240 Broadway is awake now. It's starting a new day. At the Olympian Hotel, you walk down a corridor 01:42.240 --> 01:46.000 that's been painted in a color that won't offend anybody. Then a door opens to you, 01:46.000 --> 01:50.520 and a voice designed not to frighten you welcomes you into a room, lately furnished with death. 01:50.520 --> 01:55.320 Come in. Come in, please. Your old head porter, as I presume? 01:55.320 --> 01:57.920 And you? Matthew Porter, Yale 47, 01:57.920 --> 02:01.720 head of the crime detection bureau for the management. This is my first murder. 02:01.720 --> 02:08.440 Hmm. Shot. 45, I'd say. Who was he, a guest? 02:08.440 --> 02:14.800 Not likely. Oh, I took the liberty of going through his pockets for identification, of course. I find 02:14.800 --> 02:19.680 he is a Frank Conroy, obviously one of those people from Texas. The high-heeled boots, 02:19.680 --> 02:26.000 that 10-gallon monstrosity over there on the bed. They wear those things. Died with his boots on, 02:26.000 --> 02:30.680 eh? Classic. And this? Courtesy of the management? 02:30.680 --> 02:36.120 The roulette wheel? Of course not. Gambling in the rooms is positively forbidden at the Olympian. 02:36.120 --> 02:38.440 But this is a roulette wheel, I'd swear it, Mr. Porter. 02:38.440 --> 02:44.120 Maybe the Texan brought it with him. You know Texas millionaires. Oil, steers, women, roulette, 02:44.120 --> 02:46.360 the black and the red. You say he wasn't a guest. 02:46.360 --> 02:50.520 Never saw him before. How he got in without my notice, I don't know. 02:50.520 --> 02:53.840 Whose room is this? Oh, uh, Mr. Henry Sherwood, 02:53.840 --> 03:01.520 stocks and bonds. Inoffensive chap. A moment please. Yes? Oh, thank you. 03:01.520 --> 03:06.720 Strange. A telegram. Addressed to an Eddie Donald. Care of this room. 03:06.720 --> 03:12.200 Open it. But, um... Open it. Read it. Aloud. 03:12.200 --> 03:18.400 Uh, dear Eddie, stop. Arrived flight 12 from Cleveland. Stop. 03:18.400 --> 03:24.040 11.15 this morning. Stop. Hope you had good rest. Stop. Ha ha. Stop. 03:24.040 --> 03:26.960 Signed, Henry Sherwood. What time is it now? 03:26.960 --> 03:30.760 10.3. On the nose. That gives me an hour. 03:30.760 --> 03:35.040 You'll be courteous to the public servants when they come for the dead Texan, won't you, Yale? 03:35.040 --> 03:44.840 It took just about that hour to get to LaGuardia. Four-engine plane from Cleveland made a storybook 03:44.840 --> 03:49.440 landing and the people who walked through its door made storybook exits. Pause at the door, 03:49.440 --> 03:55.080 smile, wave and walk down the ramp. The stewardess stood there checking off each performance. 03:55.080 --> 03:58.880 I asked her who was Henry Sherwood and she pointed out a little man with a briefcase 03:58.880 --> 04:03.480 who was just going off the field. Sherwood. Henry Sherwood. Hey. 04:03.480 --> 04:08.760 Sure name Sherwood? Who are you? Police. You Henry Sherwood? 04:08.760 --> 04:11.680 Police? Say, what is this? You're registered at the Olympian Hotel, 04:11.680 --> 04:16.080 room 312? Yes, I am. Who's Eddie Donald? Eddie Donald. What's he got to do with the police? 04:16.080 --> 04:20.600 We're looking for him. What's he got to do with you? Why, why, I lent him my suite while I was in 04:20.600 --> 04:24.040 Cleveland. I called him and told him he could live like a king in my suite for the week I was away. 04:24.040 --> 04:29.320 He acquiesced. All right. Where does Eddie Donald usually live? In a hotel. Ha ha. On West 59th. 04:29.320 --> 04:33.640 Let me think up just where... You do that, Mr. Sherwood, on the way down to headquarters. 04:33.640 --> 04:40.200 It didn't take Mr. Sherwood all the way down to headquarters to think of it. He thought of 04:40.200 --> 04:44.640 Eddie Donald's address just as I was lifting him into the squad car. He wriggled and said I could 04:44.640 --> 04:50.320 let him go now. I said they'd point a finger at me if I did. At headquarters, Mr. Sherwood said he'd 04:50.320 --> 04:55.520 take up police brutality with the stock exchange, the governor, the State Department. When he got 04:55.520 --> 05:07.240 to Drew Pearson, I walked out. Eddie Donald's hotel was run by a sweet and charming lady. 05:07.240 --> 05:14.840 Everybody told her she was that, so she told me. Just call me Mom, Mr. Clover. Everybody calls me 05:14.840 --> 05:21.720 that. It's because I treat my boys like as if they was my own son. Mrs. Tobey, I... What's the 05:21.720 --> 05:27.280 matter? You got monkeys in your ears? I told you to call me Mom. Okay, okay, Mom. Eddie Donald, 05:27.280 --> 05:34.520 is he home? Eddie, now what do you want with this, sweet Eddie? All I want is, is he home? Eddie 05:34.520 --> 05:43.760 brings me candy. On Mother's Day, he brings me flowers. Go on, Mr. Clover, talk to Mom about Eddie. 05:43.760 --> 05:53.120 We want him for murder. Murder? Why, that dirty lowdown no good. The flowers he brought me, 05:53.120 --> 05:59.920 they stunk. The candy he picked up off a subway seat. He's a week behind in his rent and he has 05:59.920 --> 06:06.280 the gall to commit murder. Take it easy, Mom. Where is he? Wherever he is, I hope it's crawling. 06:06.280 --> 06:14.680 The shame he brought to my hotel. He's not here? No. He didn't come home all week. Every night I 06:14.680 --> 06:22.920 waited for him to bring me a buff. He didn't come home to Mom. Mind if I take a look? Look 06:22.920 --> 06:35.280 to the green face. Come on. This is his room. As of now, it's got a sign on it. Room to let half price. 06:35.280 --> 06:44.280 Show that Eddie. This picture. September's the only picture of a month in the altogether I ever 06:44.280 --> 06:53.280 seen. Now comes November. She don't even look cold. It's framed. The calendar part's been cut off to 06:53.280 --> 07:00.240 Eddie. It says forever and ever. No signature. You ever seen the girl before? Only in shop windows and 07:00.240 --> 07:09.840 on counters and magazines all over the country. You like her? The artist. Magna. A magna girl. Mind 07:09.840 --> 07:19.520 if I take the picture with me? You lonely boy. Take it. Mom says you can take it. Thanks, Mom. 07:27.520 --> 07:38.040 Ah! I beg your pardon? Ah! Whose name is Magna around here? But I am. My studio, my artistry, 07:38.040 --> 07:47.280 my cocktail party for my one-man show. But I am. A joke. A joke? No. I was just asking. 07:47.280 --> 07:53.160 Are you taking the tour? Come. I will show you Magna. Here. On this pedestal is the trunk of a 07:53.160 --> 07:59.080 small tree on which Magna first carved me. Ah, I think you misspelled the word there. Ah, you saw it. 07:59.080 --> 08:04.680 You saw it. Have Magna extracted the essence of the word and set it down for the world to 08:04.680 --> 08:11.960 applaud. Oh, you, you primitive. You saw it. Oh, just stop jumping up and down, Mr. Magna. I want to ask 08:11.960 --> 08:18.520 you a couple of questions. You don't understand my art? I understand your calendars. You are not a 08:18.520 --> 08:23.280 primitive after all. Take a look at this one. I brought it along. Magna does not autograph 08:23.280 --> 08:27.560 reproduction. Who is this girl? Who modeled for this painting? As it is printed on top. 08:27.560 --> 08:33.520 November modeled for it. Yeah, but what's her name? November. I forgot to tell you I'm from the 08:33.520 --> 08:38.480 police, Mr. Magna. November pushed for the painting. A touch of gold, a sniff of sorrow, 08:38.480 --> 08:47.520 dead dying days. All embodied in a woman I found one... You're a cop? I found November one day at a 08:47.520 --> 08:56.600 model agency. Who is she? Nelson. Liz Nelson. A pedestrian name for November, yes? No? Where do I 08:56.600 --> 09:03.760 find her? Liz Nelson, her address? Her address. I will write it down for you. Don't extract the 09:03.760 --> 09:07.640 essence for me, Mr. Magna. Just the number and the street. What else? 09:07.640 --> 09:27.480 Go away if you're the fuller brush man. Go away if you want me to sign a petition. Go away whatever's 09:27.480 --> 09:35.240 eating you. Go away. I'm from the police, Ms. Nelson. Oh yeah, now I can tell. You tell by the way you put your foot in the door. 09:35.240 --> 09:40.640 Police or a mature college boy working his way through a mature college. Let's go inside, Ms. Nelson. 09:40.640 --> 09:47.800 All right, let's go inside. The bed, it looks like that because I live in it. But I'm not working 09:47.800 --> 09:54.000 that ass every minute. That way I stay be-bushed. The police want me to pose to improve their public 09:54.000 --> 09:58.760 relations. That's why you're here. Eddie Donald. You know him, Ms. Nelson? Uh-huh. And maybe you can 09:58.760 --> 10:06.200 tell me where he is. Ha-ah. But you can't tell about him. Uh-huh. Tell me. You first, you tell me what. 10:06.200 --> 10:14.800 Uh-huh. Well, let's see now. I know Eddie for, oh let's see, for four years now. Two years of that he was in 10:14.800 --> 10:20.920 Dannemora prison. Why? I never followed his career so I don't know why. After that? He called me 10:20.920 --> 10:26.960 lots of times. Left a number where I could reach him. Sometimes I call back. Depended on my schedule 10:26.960 --> 10:32.000 and my mood. When was the last time the schedule permitted? About three months ago. I got it 10:32.000 --> 10:36.640 penciled in in my little black book. Frank Conroy, a man from Texas. He in the book? He's dead, isn't he? 10:36.640 --> 10:42.160 I read about it. Is he in the book? Ha-ah. First I heard of him, he was dead. And Eddie Donald, when was the 10:42.160 --> 10:47.240 last time you saw him? I told you, three months ago. You inscribed a picture to him. Forever and ever, 10:47.240 --> 10:52.840 it said. A calendar picture. The cost of my beauty. Men look at my picture and they want me to belong 10:52.840 --> 11:00.560 to them forever and ever. Sometimes it's for always. I put down what they tell me. Oh. Let's not answer it, huh? 11:00.560 --> 11:13.560 Uh-uh. Oh. Eddie? Eddie? I figured you'd be there. This is Jack Perry. I'll make it easy for you. 11:13.560 --> 11:23.000 Try room B, 1829, West 47. Who was it? Uh-uh. Miss Nelson. 11:23.000 --> 11:39.920 Hey, you came, Realer. Who are you? Police. Danny Clover. I did what? Can I come in? No. Your name, Jack Perry? 11:39.920 --> 11:47.960 State your business right from there. All right, so your muscle got you in. Now, real important thing? 11:47.960 --> 11:52.480 Look, Perry, I'm trying to find out who killed the man from Texas. What voice whispered my name is Perry? 11:52.480 --> 11:57.560 You did. What else did I do? Over the phone when you called Liz. Spare me the method, police. I 11:57.560 --> 12:01.760 got it figured already. Your muscle lifted the phone, said it was Eddie Donald. You're real anxious to 12:01.760 --> 12:10.760 talk to Eddie, aren't you? Real. Real. Why? In that way. Mind if I sit down? Let's go, Perry. I got a 12:10.760 --> 12:17.080 squad car outside. Oil for me? The police are looking for Eddie. Maybe you'll help. Let's go. Yeah, 12:17.080 --> 12:23.960 sure, I'll help. I'll help you from here. All right. Eddie's got a lot of money that's mine. It's a 12:23.960 --> 12:30.800 reason for a man wanting to see a man. How much money? What's the difference? A lot. You know what, 12:30.800 --> 12:43.600 police, someone's in back. Yeah, I know. Let's go. Someone is. Let's go. His laughter mixed well with 12:43.600 --> 12:50.320 pain. Came in tides and swelled and rolled over me. The thing that pounded at my brain was the thing 12:50.320 --> 12:54.960 that exploded and showered down like a million nickels. Bright, colored red and green and black. 12:54.960 --> 13:07.480 Then everything stopped. It came back again later. And I opened my eyes. The color, the 13:07.480 --> 13:14.280 paint in the room was the same. The pattern of frayed furniture and dust. And Jack Perry was still 13:14.280 --> 13:25.600 there. Only he was different. Wasn't laughing anymore. Couldn't. He'd been shot to death. 13:44.280 --> 14:00.440 Though the hour months fade and the oysters forsake Broadway, life still goes on. They're 14:00.440 --> 14:05.520 the box scores to consider. The hot dogs with everything. And for exercise, you can now dial 14:05.520 --> 14:11.440 Nassau County. As if this weren't enough, Broadway offers another diversion. Double killing. This 14:11.440 --> 14:16.000 time backdrop to the roulette wheel and a police officer who got slugged at the scene of the crime. 14:16.000 --> 14:21.840 Broadway tucks the protesting wiener back into the role, takes another bite and chews appreciatively. 14:21.840 --> 14:26.960 Later at police headquarters, Sergeant Tataglia summed it all up. This is something you can stick 14:26.960 --> 14:31.600 your teeth into Danny. What is? It's a sticky apple, Mrs. Tataglia packed with my lunch. 14:31.600 --> 14:37.760 Hmm. It's tasty and good. I'm sure it is Gino, but I got a headache. I've just come from the 14:37.760 --> 14:42.200 infirmary and Dr. Sinski said I'd feel a lot better if I didn't have any emotional disturbances 14:42.200 --> 14:48.160 for a while. So let's all pitch in and help Dr. Sinski. Roger. We'll go. Thank you. Well, 14:48.160 --> 14:53.800 to work we go. To wit, in the matter of Frank Conroy from Texas, he is indeed from Texas. 14:53.800 --> 15:00.320 Police authorities in Texas sent a 500 word telegram to us to that effect. 500 words? Indeed. It 15:00.320 --> 15:05.760 states that Frank Conroy is an esteemed owner of oil wells and well known in Galveston. The rest 15:05.760 --> 15:10.800 of the telegram is about Texas. Go on. In the matter of Jack Perry, the man who was killed under 15:10.800 --> 15:15.880 your very nose was a man known to all and sundry as a man who delighted in floating games of chance. 15:15.880 --> 15:20.920 That's what on him. All right. Tell me about the man we're looking for, Eddie Donald. And all points 15:20.920 --> 15:25.520 bulletin is out on him at this very moment. What else? Eddie Donald was released in Danmore and 15:25.520 --> 15:30.040 Nianta six months ago after serving a two year stretch for assault and battery. Before he went 15:30.040 --> 15:34.800 to jail, Tataglia. Here say has it that this same Eddie Donald was a steerer for the gambling 15:34.800 --> 15:40.800 industry. Precisely speaking for Mark Oslo. Yeah. And here say has it that Mark Oslo isn't 15:40.800 --> 15:46.320 operating anymore. You believe that Danny? No. We've never been able to get anything on him. 15:46.320 --> 15:52.560 Tataglia. Yeah? Does Oslo still live at the same address? I checked that already Danny and yeah, 15:52.560 --> 15:59.800 he does. In that tumble down shack on Park Avenue. Hey Danny, I brought you one too. I was hiding a 15:59.800 --> 16:11.400 sticky apple behind my back. The shack of Mark Oslo occupied five floors of a gilt edge apartment 16:11.400 --> 16:15.760 house where dogs were walked by student psychiatrists. On the first floor of his 16:15.760 --> 16:19.640 hovel something in silk, knee britches and epaulets held a candelabra to your badge, 16:19.640 --> 16:25.000 side profoundly adjusted its wig and ushered you into a private elevator. On the second floor, 16:25.000 --> 16:29.320 you caught a glimpse of a library with real books, thousands of them. On the third floor, 16:29.320 --> 16:34.040 a girl with ashen hair and leg slits in her Mandarin robe waved joy to you as you floated 16:34.040 --> 16:38.400 up. On the fourth floor, a chef sniffing a chafing dish took time to consider you as a 16:38.400 --> 16:44.400 potential sauce, rejected you. Then you were on the fifth floor. The mate of the thing in silk, 16:44.400 --> 16:48.640 knee britches led you through a luster of elegant men and women in silent prayer at a roulette table. 16:48.640 --> 16:56.960 Then Mark Oslo extended a glittering hand to you. You didn't take it. No Danny, 16:56.960 --> 17:02.720 you don't shake my hand and it sets up a melody of sorrow in my heart. Cry a tear Mark, 17:02.720 --> 17:07.960 I'd like to see it. You'd be the first. You want a tear Danny, I could arrange it. You could. 17:07.960 --> 17:12.800 Having a party, Mark? You mean my friends at the table? They're playing for matchsticks Danny, 17:12.800 --> 17:18.400 literally matchsticks. Come along Danny, I'll show you. Don't bother. No? Your pleasure Danny. I 17:18.400 --> 17:24.680 should get back to my guests, state your pleasure. Eddie Donald. Eddie Donald. Mark Oslo knows such 17:24.680 --> 17:29.960 a man? Yeah, Mark Oslo does. Shall I freshen it up for you Mark? No need Danny, thank you. It'll 17:29.960 --> 17:35.440 come back. Eddie Donald. Oh yes, you want him for murder and you come to me for help. For Eddie 17:35.440 --> 17:42.360 Donald, not for what you said Mark. He was a good boy. Came to work on time, conscientious. Stuffed 17:42.360 --> 17:47.680 the suggestion box with suggestions. I read a few, not bad. I sent word down for him to keep trying. 17:47.680 --> 17:53.320 Where is he Mark? My chef baked some delicacies for him. I had them sent to Eddie Danimara. After 17:53.320 --> 18:00.360 that we lost touch. Not even a thank you note from Eddie. It calls, it calls. A man named Frank 18:00.360 --> 18:04.880 Conroy, what does that do to you Mark? The dead Texan, nothing at all. Someone pointed it out to 18:04.880 --> 18:09.800 me while I was having a rub and it didn't do anything at all. Jack Perry, try him. Some of my 18:09.800 --> 18:16.200 friends sent a wreath. I paid for it. Should I have done more? Oh of course, you were hurting that one 18:16.200 --> 18:21.000 weren't you Danny? Name your favorite charity. Eddie Donald, Mark, that's all I want. Send the word 18:21.000 --> 18:27.680 around, get them to me. You're ordering me Danny? Yeah. Surprise you? No I find it rather delightful. 18:27.680 --> 18:33.120 I'll tell you what Danny, Mark Oslo will see what he can do and the footman will show you out. Goodbye 18:33.120 --> 18:39.760 Danny. On the way back down on the elevator I caught a glimpse of the girl in the mandarin 18:39.760 --> 18:52.160 robe again. This time she was eating a hamburger. I was disenchanted about the whole thing. I called 18:52.160 --> 18:58.160 headquarters, nothing on Eddie Donald. Phone cab garages, nothing. Spent a few more hours dropping 18:58.160 --> 19:03.520 in on back rooms and dropping the name of Eddie Donald. Blank stairs. Then I went home and slept 19:03.520 --> 19:13.960 on it. The way it happened was simple. The next morning I walked out of the door, there was a 19:13.960 --> 19:19.840 hand on my sleeve by the time I stepped onto the pavement. Hi Danny. Benny Fane, you're looking 19:19.840 --> 19:27.680 good Benny. Yeah yeah yeah I am. I'm on my way to work. How do you like that? I like it. What happened? 19:27.680 --> 19:34.000 I kicked it Danny off the stub. Got a job. Look at me. $50 suit, suede, shoes. Watched by Lon Gene. 19:34.000 --> 19:41.080 Beautiful huh? I'm credit Danny but I'm gonna pay for it. Legitimate job. Publishing. Publishing 19:41.080 --> 19:45.680 what? Well anyhow Danny the reason I've been waiting for you on my way to work is because I 19:45.680 --> 19:49.880 never let my old friends down. You never let them down. Still working for you. Now don't call it 19:49.880 --> 19:55.280 stooling Danny. I can't stand that word. Nobody called it anything Benny. Okay okay now look try 19:55.280 --> 20:00.120 the Bronx Danny if you want to find Eddie Donovan. You know where those guys building shacks by the 20:00.120 --> 20:04.640 river, those guys those guys out of work. Or try the one with the bull darm sign for a front door. 20:04.640 --> 20:28.040 Come on in pal. Oh it's not a pal. No Eddie. I'd appreciate it if you tell me your name. It slips 20:28.040 --> 20:34.440 the memory. Danny Clover police. That's right Danny Clover. You are the slug who wants me for the 20:34.440 --> 20:40.040 murder of let me think now. Frank Conroy from Texas and Jack Perry from Stinkville right? Uh-huh. 20:40.040 --> 20:46.680 Let's go Eddie. Gladly. Huh? I said I will go with you gladly. However if you should care to listen 20:46.680 --> 20:51.240 to my side for a minute I think this courtesy will not go unrewarded. You haven't got much time Eddie. 20:51.240 --> 20:56.880 Not even enough to give you the for real murder of those two? The real murderer Eddie? For real. 20:56.880 --> 21:03.160 Interested? Maybe. The story goes with it Mr. Clover. That Texan. He shouldn't have died. It 21:03.160 --> 21:09.400 wasn't planned that way. No? No Mr. mind if I call you Danny? Go ahead. It was like this Danny. I 21:09.400 --> 21:15.560 took a rap in Dannemora. I know. Yeah. Then Perry put salt in the wound. While I am in the crib he 21:15.560 --> 21:21.280 purloins my girl. Go on. Well look at me Danny how little I am. Can't knock over a mosquito. 21:21.280 --> 21:26.320 But one night in a bar I meet a Texan. He wants to fight. I figure who better he should beat up 21:26.320 --> 21:30.840 than Jack Perry from Stinkville. This can be so easy arranged. By that roulette game in the 21:30.840 --> 21:35.460 Olympian. Exactly. Exactly. This is a game rigged by Perry. The same night he tells me go get a 21:35.460 --> 21:39.880 sucker for old time's sake. No hard feelings. I get a hotel room courtesy of a friend so get a 21:39.880 --> 21:45.360 sucker. The sucker I bring him is the Texan. And? And I play Perry for the sucker. While the Texan 21:45.360 --> 21:49.720 loses I bet against him and keep winning. Then when I got it all I tell the Texan he's been taken 21:49.720 --> 21:54.360 by a rigged wheel. I figure this will make him mad at Perry. It didn't? No the Texan turns yellow 21:54.360 --> 21:58.680 just because Perry pulls a gun on him. I quick turn out the lights there's a shot and I flee with 21:58.680 --> 22:03.200 the dough. 50 grand. So for the murder of the Texan you should have talked to Perry. I was talking 22:03.200 --> 22:09.720 to Perry and somebody killed him. You. That's what I've been trying to tell you. Not me. Look all you 22:09.720 --> 22:14.320 got to do is let me go for a little bit and I'll lead you to the for real murderer. Sorry let's go. 22:14.320 --> 22:19.740 You got it Danny. You got it. I'll get the murderer for you. Let me go. I'll make ya let me go. 22:19.740 --> 22:27.480 The little man took a swing at me. Flicked my chin and I pretended he'd knocked me cold. How I 22:27.480 --> 22:32.440 kept from laughing out loud at his surprised bewildered then proud face I'll never know. 22:32.440 --> 22:40.160 But I did. I let Eddie go because I believed him. To follow him to get a for real murderer or maybe 22:40.160 --> 22:45.240 to make an idiot out of Danny Clover. It was the chance I took. I watched him while he made a phone 22:45.240 --> 22:50.360 call. I watched him while he had some coffee. Then I watched him while he hailed a cab and I hailed 22:50.360 --> 22:55.880 one too. He stopped at an address I'd been to once before. I let him go in and I waited five 22:55.880 --> 23:04.520 minutes. Then I went to the apartment where I knew he'd be. I figured it different ways. How do you 23:04.520 --> 23:10.800 figure it Eddie? The policeman. Look Eddie they caught up with you. Oh Danny you recovered. There's 23:10.800 --> 23:14.640 your murderer Danny. I told you give me a chance. Miss Nelson here murdered Perry's. That how you 23:14.640 --> 23:19.840 figured? Take him out of here. I'm repeating myself Eddie. Let's go. No no listen to me. You've got to 23:19.840 --> 23:25.240 listen. She wants me to get electrocuted. That's why she did the whole thing. And you know something 23:25.240 --> 23:33.320 I love her. My kicks for just now. Take him away. Don't laugh at me Liz. You could have had the money 23:33.320 --> 23:37.840 don't you understand? You could have had it. Now. You two play patty cake down on the pavement. I'm 23:37.840 --> 23:42.600 busy. What about now Eddie? Don't you see Danny? Don't you see what she's done? She kills Perry so 23:42.600 --> 23:46.700 I can sit in the electric chair for it. Why would she want to do a thing like that? Because she's 23:46.700 --> 23:50.600 greedy. She wanted all the dough for herself. Shut up Eddie. Make him shut up. I gave her the money I 23:50.600 --> 23:55.040 won and she said she loved me all over again and I believed her. But when she heard the cops were 23:55.040 --> 23:59.840 looking for me for that rhubarb in the Olympian Hotel she got cagey as all get out. Kills Perry 23:59.840 --> 24:03.920 and bucks me solid with the executioner. You're an accomplished girl Miss Nelson. You model, 24:03.920 --> 24:10.840 you pistol whip me in Perry's room, you kill Perry. Accomplished. Try again. Don't be like that Liz. 24:10.840 --> 24:15.360 Show him the money. All that money. Give it to him. Eddie you fool. Go ahead Liz. The man's waiting. 24:15.360 --> 24:45.280 Give it to him. Shut up. Shut up. Now Liz. I told you to shut up. I told you. Watch it. Drop that gun. Drop it. It's a lot better. All that money. That money. He ruined it. Eddie. Bad Eddie? I got a bad shoulder now Danny. You're a fool Eddie. She could have killed you. Yeah I know. I didn't know whether she did it or not what I said. But I 24:45.280 --> 24:49.600 had to find out. I loved her. I really did. 24:49.600 --> 25:17.200 Broadway. It's an eight beat revival meeting and the lost souls wail to a hot trumpet and sax. 25:17.200 --> 25:45.760 It's a hunger complete with syncopation and spinning neon. Grab your dream and dance a while. Then try to look it in the face. You can't. It's a mask of terror. It's Broadway. The gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.
