07:42.000 --> 07:43.000 Hear me. 07:43.000 --> 07:46.000 That means Mr. Satan was alone. 07:46.000 --> 08:00.000 Alone in the lock. 08:00.000 --> 08:03.000 Before we return to the scene of our suspense play, 08:03.000 --> 08:06.000 let me describe another scene that might even now be taking place 08:06.000 --> 08:10.000 in the Hanson Cafe at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba in Havana. 08:10.000 --> 08:13.000 An American visitor has remarked to his Cuban host 08:13.000 --> 08:17.000 what great enjoyment the gay Cuban music and the dancing gives him. 08:17.000 --> 08:20.000 Gratefully, the Cuban host returns the compliment, saying, 08:20.000 --> 08:25.000 but your United States makes us a gift that brings great pleasure on many occasions. 08:25.000 --> 08:30.000 This superb wine from the choice wine district of your California, 08:30.000 --> 08:32.000 this fine Roma wine. 08:32.000 --> 08:37.000 Yes, for a wine to give great enjoyment, it must have greatness of character, 08:37.000 --> 08:41.000 and it's this that has spread the fame of Roma wines to other lands. 08:41.000 --> 08:46.000 Why otherwise would these countries import Roma wine to be enjoyed as a rare luxury? 08:46.000 --> 08:51.000 How fortunate then are you who can enjoy any of the Roma wines, 08:51.000 --> 08:54.000 many different delicious wine types, whenever you choose, 08:54.000 --> 08:57.000 without additional charge for import duty, 08:57.000 --> 09:02.000 with no high shipping costs added to your small costs for Roma wine. 09:02.000 --> 09:06.000 Yet here is a quality so high, it has won international recognition. 09:06.000 --> 09:14.000 Quality coupled with costs so modest that Roma wines are America's largest selling wine. 09:14.000 --> 09:17.000 Why not make your own taste test of these good Roma wines 09:17.000 --> 09:24.000 and discover for yourself the fine wine qualities acclaimed by wine experts of many lands. 09:24.000 --> 09:29.000 I'll spell out the name for you, R-O-M-A, Roma wines, 09:29.000 --> 09:34.000 made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. 09:34.000 --> 09:40.000 And now it is with pleasure that we bring back to our soundstage Virginia Bruce 09:40.000 --> 09:44.000 and Alan Joslin with George Zuko in the locked room. 09:44.000 --> 09:49.000 A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. 09:49.000 --> 09:52.000 I'm not going to take any of it. 09:52.000 --> 09:54.000 All right, folks, are you all here? 09:54.000 --> 09:56.000 There's Miss Iris Lane. 09:56.000 --> 09:57.000 Yes. 09:57.000 --> 09:58.000 Dr. Charles Woodholt. 09:58.000 --> 09:59.000 Yes. 09:59.000 --> 10:00.000 Harold Mills. 10:00.000 --> 10:01.000 Yes. 10:01.000 --> 10:02.000 And Mr. Alex Van Halten. 10:02.000 --> 10:03.000 No. 10:03.000 --> 10:05.000 Now let's get down to business. 10:05.000 --> 10:08.000 We know some of the facts but not enough of them. 10:08.000 --> 10:10.000 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 10:10.000 --> 10:11.000 I'm sorry. 10:11.000 --> 10:12.000 I'm sorry. 10:12.000 --> 10:13.000 I'm sorry. 10:13.000 --> 10:14.000 I'm sorry. 10:14.000 --> 10:15.000 I'm sorry. 10:15.000 --> 10:16.000 I'm sorry. 10:16.000 --> 10:17.000 I'm sorry. 10:17.000 --> 10:18.000 I'm sorry. 10:18.000 --> 10:19.000 There are a number of the facts here. 10:19.000 --> 10:20.000 It's all right. 10:20.000 --> 10:21.000 We can tackle them. 10:21.000 --> 10:24.000 We know that you four were the only people in the house when Mr. Seaton was robbed outside 10:24.000 --> 10:26.000 of the cook and she was in the kitchen. 10:26.000 --> 10:31.000 We know Seaton had a diamond on him when he went into the study and someone lifted it 10:31.000 --> 10:32.000 before we got here. 10:32.000 --> 10:35.000 We haven't located the diamond yet, but we will. 10:35.000 --> 10:41.000 Now, this business of the windows being locked somebody here knows who locked them. 10:41.000 --> 10:44.000 One of you hasn't come clean or all of you. 10:44.000 --> 10:47.000 It's easy to see what you're thinking Captain Hadley. 10:47.000 --> 10:49.440 As we tell it, it looks as though Harold and I did the job. 10:49.440 --> 10:51.040 But we didn't, that's all. 10:51.040 --> 10:52.080 That's all? 10:52.080 --> 10:55.200 The only door locked and watched before and after? 10:55.200 --> 10:57.240 Windows locked before and after? 10:57.240 --> 10:59.760 No one hidden in the room before or after? 10:59.760 --> 11:02.440 And I don't believe in ghosts, so the thing's impossible. 11:02.440 --> 11:05.360 Now, which one of you locked those windows? 11:05.360 --> 11:06.320 Mr. Mills? 11:06.320 --> 11:07.560 Well, really, dear me, Officer, 11:07.560 --> 11:09.120 why would I do the one thing to make it look 11:09.120 --> 11:11.640 as if Iris and I had committed this crime? 11:11.640 --> 11:13.680 Yes, you know, Harold got something there. 11:13.680 --> 11:14.960 If the windows hadn't been locked, 11:14.960 --> 11:16.640 you'd know someone from outside did it. 11:16.640 --> 11:19.400 Look, I'm trying to be patient with you people, 11:19.400 --> 11:22.680 but if Mr. Seaton doesn't die, which he hasn't yet, 11:22.680 --> 11:24.240 he'll tell us who did it. 11:24.240 --> 11:26.600 So I advise you to come clean now. 11:26.600 --> 11:27.560 Dr. Woodholt. 11:27.560 --> 11:28.400 Yes, Officer? 11:28.400 --> 11:30.840 You and our friend, Mr. Van Houten, here 11:30.840 --> 11:34.560 were, as the young lady puts it, outside when it happened. 11:34.560 --> 11:37.040 Maybe you managed to lock the windows afterwards. 11:37.040 --> 11:37.880 How could he? 11:37.880 --> 11:39.360 He was too busy helping Mr. Seaton 11:39.360 --> 11:40.960 to get anywhere near the windows. 11:40.960 --> 11:43.080 And neither did Mr. Van Houten, I'd swear to that. 11:43.080 --> 11:44.760 Well, thank you, dear lady. 11:44.760 --> 11:46.520 I did not expect such a kindness. 11:46.520 --> 11:47.600 Pardon, Captain. 11:47.600 --> 11:48.640 Well, Barton? 11:48.640 --> 11:50.760 Nurse has to tell you that Seaton's come, too. 11:50.760 --> 11:51.400 He's talking. 11:51.400 --> 11:52.280 Talking? 11:52.280 --> 11:53.960 Is he out of his head, or does he make sense? 11:53.960 --> 11:55.440 She says you can ask him some questions 11:55.440 --> 11:56.680 if you don't tax him too much. 11:56.680 --> 11:59.640 Well, now we'll get someplace. 11:59.640 --> 12:01.960 I think all of you had better come with me. 12:05.040 --> 12:06.280 There's the captain, man. 12:06.280 --> 12:08.560 We'll try not to upset him too much, Nurse. 12:08.560 --> 12:11.480 Captain, maybe being a suspect, I shouldn't say anything. 12:11.480 --> 12:14.520 If you don't mind, I don't think it's safe to question him. 12:14.520 --> 12:15.480 Safe for who, Doctor? 12:15.480 --> 12:17.640 You're nonsense, Woodall. 12:17.640 --> 12:19.880 I want to tell what I can. 12:19.880 --> 12:22.080 Mr. Seaton, I know your condition. 12:22.080 --> 12:23.280 I don't think you should... 12:23.280 --> 12:25.960 Shut up, Woodall. 12:25.960 --> 12:27.240 I was in the study. 12:27.240 --> 12:29.400 I sat down at the desk. 12:29.400 --> 12:31.880 I was waiting for Dr. Woodall. 12:31.880 --> 12:34.000 The chair fished through the door into the office. 12:34.000 --> 12:37.320 I heard Harold and I was talking outside. 12:37.320 --> 12:38.440 For all of a sudden? 12:38.440 --> 12:40.040 Yes. 12:40.040 --> 12:43.000 The sound carried pretty well through the door. 12:43.000 --> 12:46.600 They were talking, some nonsense about... 12:46.600 --> 12:48.280 They had a million dollars. 12:48.280 --> 12:49.720 You heard what we said? 12:49.720 --> 12:52.520 Then I think Harold was proposing or something. 12:52.520 --> 12:54.640 Oh, dear me, Mr. Seaton. I never realized that you... 12:54.640 --> 12:56.800 Well, I could. 12:56.800 --> 12:59.720 I was taking my medicine and then I heard... 12:59.720 --> 13:00.840 I heard... 13:00.840 --> 13:03.320 I think a footstep behind me. 13:03.320 --> 13:05.120 I set my glass down and started to get up. 13:05.120 --> 13:06.280 Did you turn around? 13:06.280 --> 13:08.200 In that time. 13:08.200 --> 13:11.640 Something smashed down on my head. 13:11.640 --> 13:13.560 Then you didn't know who it was? 13:13.560 --> 13:14.440 No. 13:14.440 --> 13:15.560 And I don't know how. 13:15.560 --> 13:17.680 What do you mean, how? 13:17.680 --> 13:19.960 Because I had locked the windows both up. 13:19.960 --> 13:21.800 You locked the windows? 13:21.800 --> 13:23.240 Yes. 13:23.240 --> 13:25.960 I saw someone put a ladder up. 13:25.960 --> 13:29.240 I suppose it was the gardener or somebody. 13:29.240 --> 13:32.160 But I didn't want it climbing around. 13:32.160 --> 13:33.680 So I locked both windows. 13:33.680 --> 13:37.120 You're sure no one was hidden in the room? 13:37.120 --> 13:38.400 Positive. 13:38.400 --> 13:40.400 Captain, I think we've had enough. 13:40.400 --> 13:43.080 Yes, yes, I guess you're right, Doctor. 13:43.080 --> 13:45.000 Will you people step outside? 13:45.000 --> 13:46.080 I'll be there in a minute. 13:46.080 --> 13:49.160 Come on, Doctor. Harold. 13:49.160 --> 13:54.800 Now, Mr. Seaton, what I want to know is... 13:54.800 --> 13:56.600 Remember, don't make him keep talking. 13:56.600 --> 13:58.680 Poor Mr. Seaton. He does look awfully bad. 13:58.680 --> 14:03.200 No, I suppose it's proper to feel pity for even Francis Seaton. 14:03.200 --> 14:06.200 Look, Mr. Van Houten, you've made several remarks like that. 14:06.200 --> 14:07.320 Maybe you've got your reasons, 14:07.320 --> 14:10.000 but I don't think it would sound so good to the police. 14:10.000 --> 14:11.360 Believe me, dear lady, 14:11.360 --> 14:14.360 my distaste for Mr. Seaton is purely objective. 14:14.360 --> 14:16.200 It's terribly perplexing, isn't it? 14:16.200 --> 14:18.680 Now that Mr. Seaton's confirmed us on the locked windows, 14:18.680 --> 14:20.600 I can't see how the police are going to prove anything. 14:20.600 --> 14:22.400 Look, let's not kid ourselves. 14:22.400 --> 14:25.000 We're all supposed to be nice, civilized people, 14:25.000 --> 14:27.200 but one of the four of us is a thug. 14:27.200 --> 14:29.520 A thug who beat a defenseless man over the head 14:29.520 --> 14:30.880 and took that diamond. 14:30.880 --> 14:32.680 Dear me, as I see it, that's just the point. 14:32.680 --> 14:34.600 It proves that none of us could have done it. 14:34.600 --> 14:37.000 Well, if Mr. Seaton's story proves that we couldn't, 14:37.000 --> 14:39.960 it proves a hundred times more that no one else could. 14:39.960 --> 14:42.240 Well, Captain, is there anything more we can do? 14:42.240 --> 14:45.600 Yes, you'll all be searched again for the diamond, 14:45.600 --> 14:48.640 and none of you are to leave this house until further notice. 14:48.640 --> 14:49.480 Not leave the house? 14:49.480 --> 14:50.560 Well, what about my practice? 14:50.560 --> 14:51.400 I've got a lot of work to do. 14:51.400 --> 14:53.600 Surely it requires more evidence than you have 14:53.600 --> 14:57.040 to hold us over the supposed disappearance of a diamond. 14:57.040 --> 14:59.240 I'm not holding you because of the diamond. 15:00.680 --> 15:03.440 I'm holding you on suspicion of murder. 15:03.440 --> 15:05.240 Mr. Seaton is dead. 15:05.240 --> 15:10.240 What? 15:18.840 --> 15:19.920 Who's there? 15:19.920 --> 15:21.400 Can I come in, Iris? 15:21.400 --> 15:23.840 Oh, Dr. Woodhoth, what do you want? 15:23.840 --> 15:25.360 I'll only be a minute. 15:25.360 --> 15:26.520 Well, all right. 15:29.880 --> 15:33.120 I hate to disturb you, but I'm really worried. 15:33.120 --> 15:34.720 You are? 15:34.720 --> 15:36.760 Iris, why don't you try to get out of here? 15:36.760 --> 15:37.600 Out of here? 15:37.600 --> 15:38.440 Why on earth should I? 15:38.440 --> 15:41.520 Don't you realize you're suspected of murder? 15:41.520 --> 15:43.520 You could hide somewhere until this was all being cleaned up. 15:43.520 --> 15:44.600 Are you crazy? 15:44.600 --> 15:47.440 Sure I'm suspected, doctor, but no more than you. 15:47.440 --> 15:50.040 How's it going to look if I suddenly disappear? 15:50.040 --> 15:51.840 Yes, I suppose you're right. 15:51.840 --> 15:54.200 If I could only keep you out of this, 15:54.200 --> 15:56.720 I'm so worried I don't think straight. 15:56.720 --> 15:57.800 You have a cigarette, Iris? 15:57.800 --> 16:00.360 Yes, look in that box on the table. 16:00.360 --> 16:01.960 Oh, watch out, there's a lamp cord. 16:01.960 --> 16:03.800 Oh. 16:03.800 --> 16:05.440 Oh, I'm sorry, that was clumsy of me. 16:05.440 --> 16:09.040 Oh, don't worry, it's no heirloom. 16:09.040 --> 16:10.360 What's that? 16:10.360 --> 16:12.000 What? 16:12.000 --> 16:13.280 What is it? 16:13.280 --> 16:14.440 Look. 16:14.440 --> 16:16.560 Where did you get that? 16:16.560 --> 16:17.800 The dam. 16:17.800 --> 16:18.680 Where did you get it? 16:18.680 --> 16:19.880 Right on the floor. 16:19.880 --> 16:20.760 On the floor? 16:20.760 --> 16:22.480 Iris, didn't the police search in here? 16:22.480 --> 16:24.320 How did it get on the floor? 16:24.320 --> 16:26.840 I suppose it must have been in the lamp. 16:26.840 --> 16:28.200 Yes. 16:28.200 --> 16:31.000 See, this part lifts out. 16:31.000 --> 16:32.120 It must have been an oil lamp. 16:32.120 --> 16:34.360 Apparently. 16:34.360 --> 16:35.920 May I have it, please? 16:35.920 --> 16:36.600 The diamond? 16:36.600 --> 16:37.920 It was found here. 16:37.920 --> 16:39.360 What do you want to do with it? 16:39.360 --> 16:40.120 I want it. 16:40.120 --> 16:41.040 Iris, it's not safe. 16:41.040 --> 16:41.880 Sure, I know. 16:41.880 --> 16:42.520 Give it to me. 16:42.520 --> 16:42.960 Well. 16:42.960 --> 16:43.440 Thanks. 16:43.440 --> 16:44.840 Are you going to give it to Captain Hadley? 16:44.840 --> 16:45.440 Why? 16:45.440 --> 16:46.920 I don't think it would be wise. 16:46.920 --> 16:47.680 Not yet. 16:47.680 --> 16:49.720 You're not afraid of something, are you? 16:49.720 --> 16:51.640 Iris, suppose they didn't believe you. 16:51.640 --> 16:52.440 Suppose they think that you... 16:52.440 --> 16:54.240 Oh, I'll think about it. 16:54.240 --> 16:57.160 Dr. Woodhall, will you do me a favor?

18:40.280 --> 18:42.120 Oh, I thought that was understood, 18:42.120 --> 18:44.320 that it's my profession. 18:44.320 --> 18:46.600 Ideal in diamonds, in a small way. 18:46.600 --> 18:47.840 Diamonds? 18:47.840 --> 18:48.560 To the police? 18:48.560 --> 18:50.840 Is the word diamond so surprising, sir? 18:50.840 --> 18:53.560 Naturally, the police would have to know my business with Mr. Seaton. 18:53.560 --> 18:54.680 Yes, I'm sure they would. 18:54.680 --> 18:55.080 It's only... 18:55.080 --> 18:58.520 You're hinting that my apparent dislike for the late Mr. Seaton, Doctor. 18:58.520 --> 18:59.560 Well, I hate at him. 18:59.560 --> 19:00.760 He was a cheat and a fraud. 19:00.760 --> 19:01.920 I cheated me. 19:01.920 --> 19:03.400 Doesn't sound like Mr. Seaton. 19:03.400 --> 19:06.200 My dear young lady, there are a hundred men in Amsterdam 19:06.200 --> 19:08.360 who would be glad to know that he suffered. 19:08.360 --> 19:11.160 But as you know, such dislike was not the motive for his murder. 19:11.160 --> 19:13.760 Well, really now, there's no need to be Huffy, Mr. Van Houten. 19:13.760 --> 19:15.880 Dear me, we all know what the motive was. 19:15.880 --> 19:17.720 I guess it was motive enough for any one of us. 19:17.720 --> 19:18.640 Yes. 19:18.640 --> 19:22.120 Look, let's face it, one of us killed Seaton, that's true, 19:22.120 --> 19:23.520 but three of us didn't. 19:23.520 --> 19:25.200 And yet we're all suspected. 19:25.200 --> 19:27.320 I think if the four of us let down our hair, 19:27.320 --> 19:28.920 maybe we can figure this thing out. 19:28.920 --> 19:29.320 Iris, don't... 19:29.320 --> 19:31.160 I think that sounds very reasonable. 19:31.160 --> 19:32.800 If Iris needs advice or help... 19:32.800 --> 19:35.040 Maybe I do with that. 19:35.040 --> 19:36.560 I've found diamonds. 19:36.560 --> 19:37.680 Dear me, found it. 19:37.680 --> 19:38.880 You found it where? 19:38.880 --> 19:40.120 In my room. 19:40.120 --> 19:43.480 Dr. Woodhall accidentally knocked over a lamp that was inside. 19:43.480 --> 19:44.760 And where does it know? 19:44.760 --> 19:46.200 I brought it with me, here in my purse. 19:46.200 --> 19:47.520 Then the police do not know. 19:47.520 --> 19:49.440 So here I am, stuck with this thing, 19:49.440 --> 19:51.320 and I don't know what to do about it. 19:51.320 --> 19:55.680 Oh dear, Iris, I'm really ashamed. 19:55.680 --> 19:56.840 I don't know how to tell you. 19:56.840 --> 19:57.760 Shamed of what? 19:57.760 --> 19:59.160 Well, I couldn't tell the police. 19:59.160 --> 20:00.480 At least I thought I shouldn't. 20:00.480 --> 20:02.320 You see, Mr. Seaton told me in confidence. 20:02.320 --> 20:04.120 But now that we've agreed to be frank and honest... 20:04.120 --> 20:05.520 What are you driving at? 20:05.520 --> 20:07.320 I don't know why Mr. Seaton was killed. 20:07.320 --> 20:09.000 Maybe none of us will ever know that. 20:09.000 --> 20:10.520 But it wasn't because of the diamond. 20:10.520 --> 20:11.920 I knew that all along. 20:11.920 --> 20:15.960 You see, that isn't the real diamond at all. 20:15.960 --> 20:16.880 Preposterous. 20:16.880 --> 20:20.360 You expect us to believe that? 20:20.360 --> 20:22.280 Miss Lane, let me see that diamond, please. 20:22.280 --> 20:23.920 Sure, you're the expert in the crowd. 20:23.920 --> 20:25.200 Take a look. 20:25.200 --> 20:26.920 I'll hold on to it, though. 20:26.920 --> 20:28.440 I don't care what Mr. Van Houten says. 20:28.440 --> 20:30.640 Mr. Seaton told me it was a replica he brought home. 20:30.640 --> 20:31.280 I don't know why. 20:31.280 --> 20:32.160 This is ridiculous. 20:32.160 --> 20:34.800 Why would anyone want to plant a false diamond in Iris' room? 20:34.800 --> 20:36.880 What about it, Mr. Van Houten? 20:36.880 --> 20:38.360 It's incredible. 20:38.360 --> 20:39.280 What? 20:39.280 --> 20:42.760 Well, even without my glass, I can see that this is false. 20:42.760 --> 20:44.440 There are no planes of cleavage. 20:44.440 --> 20:46.240 Very shoddy piece of work. 20:46.240 --> 20:47.320 Faulty?

25:04.760 --> 25:06.720 A concoction known as a Mickey Finn. 25:06.720 --> 25:08.600 But it felt so much like a blow on the head 25:08.600 --> 25:10.760 that even Seton confirmed my little story. 25:10.760 --> 25:13.080 I knew whoever did it would try the same thing on me 25:13.080 --> 25:14.480 to get the diamond. 25:14.480 --> 25:16.720 You were the one who got me the seltzer for my medicine 25:16.720 --> 25:17.880 tonight. 25:17.880 --> 25:19.040 I suppose you saw it coming. 25:19.040 --> 25:20.120 Your little trap?
