Thank you. 12:27.880 --> 12:30.880 Oh, could you tell me, is it on the ground floor? 12:30.880 --> 12:32.880 Why, no, it isn't. 12:32.880 --> 12:33.880 Oh. 12:33.880 --> 12:34.880 Had you watered it on the ground floor? 12:34.880 --> 12:38.880 Yes. You see, I'm a little nervous about fires. 12:38.880 --> 12:42.880 Oh, oh, well, there's a fire escape just down the hall from you. 12:42.880 --> 12:45.880 Oh, oh, there is? That'll be all right, then. 12:45.880 --> 12:48.880 I've got to get... I mean, I'm going out for a while. 12:48.880 --> 12:50.880 I'll be back later. Thank you. 12:50.880 --> 12:52.880 Yes, sir. 12:52.880 --> 12:55.880 Hmm. Did you hear that, Miss White? 12:55.880 --> 12:56.880 Yeah. 12:56.880 --> 12:59.880 Can't sleep in a single bed. I'm afraid of fires. 12:59.880 --> 13:02.880 I'll tell you, you meet all kinds, don't you? 13:02.880 --> 13:14.880 You certainly do. 13:14.880 --> 13:18.880 I'm right behind you, Carl. Yes, son. 13:18.880 --> 13:20.880 Nothing to be afraid of. 13:20.880 --> 13:24.880 Never been on a fire escape before, have you? 13:24.880 --> 13:28.880 It's fun, isn't it? Totally a little ways now. 13:28.880 --> 13:31.880 Here, here, take my arm. 13:31.880 --> 13:33.880 Ah, here we are. 13:33.880 --> 13:36.880 Now, you stay back until I look in the window first. 13:36.880 --> 13:38.880 See if anyone's in the hallway. 13:38.880 --> 13:41.880 Huh? Ah, it's all right. 13:41.880 --> 13:44.880 I'm sure it's awake. Yes, it's all right. 13:44.880 --> 13:47.880 Come on. I'll help you through. 13:47.880 --> 13:51.880 Shh. Someone's coming. 13:51.880 --> 13:55.880 Stay out there, Carl. No, no, no. Stay out there on the fire escape. 13:55.880 --> 13:57.880 Don't make a sound. 13:57.880 --> 14:00.880 Oh. 14:00.880 --> 14:02.880 Mr. Wilson. Oh, good evening. 14:02.880 --> 14:05.880 Aren't you at the wrong end of the hallway, sir? Yes, I... 14:05.880 --> 14:08.880 Can't you find your room? Yes, but I was just looking around. 14:08.880 --> 14:11.880 Oh, the fire escape. Yes. 14:11.880 --> 14:14.880 I see. You wanted to try it out, huh? 14:14.880 --> 14:17.880 Well, I'm a little nervous. I understand, sir. 14:17.880 --> 14:19.880 Would you like me to show you how to get out onto it? 14:19.880 --> 14:22.880 Oh, no, no, no, thank you. I've been out there already. 14:22.880 --> 14:25.880 Oh, you have? Well, you feel better about it then? 14:25.880 --> 14:27.880 Yes, yes, thank you. Anything I can do for you, sir? 14:27.880 --> 14:30.880 No, no, I'll be getting to my room now. 14:30.880 --> 14:33.880 Well, I guess we'd better close this window. It looks like a rainstorm. 14:33.880 --> 14:36.880 No, no, I'll close it. 14:36.880 --> 14:40.880 Okay, sir. Good night, Mr. Wilson. I hope you sleep well, sir. 14:40.880 --> 14:43.880 Good night. 14:47.880 --> 14:50.880 It's all right. Come on, Carl.

Hungry, Carl? 15:04.880 --> 15:06.880 I'll get us something to eat. 15:06.880 --> 15:11.880 Then we'll have a good night's rest. 15:11.880 --> 15:14.880 Miss White? Yeah? 15:14.880 --> 15:16.880 I just found the old boy up in the hallway. 15:16.880 --> 15:18.880 He was trying out the fire escape. Can you beat it? 15:18.880 --> 15:20.880 When? Just now. 15:20.880 --> 15:22.880 Well, but how did he get up to his room? 15:22.880 --> 15:24.880 He didn't come back through the lobby. 15:24.880 --> 15:26.880 What? He didn't? 15:26.880 --> 15:28.880 No. I know I would have seen him. 15:28.880 --> 15:30.880 He must have used the fire escape then. 15:30.880 --> 15:35.880 Say, there's something funny going on around here. 15:35.880 --> 15:37.880 Hey, look, it's his room. 15:37.880 --> 15:41.880 Office? 15:41.880 --> 15:44.880 Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, 15:44.880 --> 15:46.880 but we don't have meals sent up anymore. 15:46.880 --> 15:49.880 There's a cocktail lounge and a restaurant on the roof. 15:49.880 --> 15:51.880 Oh, it's really quite nice. 15:51.880 --> 15:53.880 And there's a terrace where you can step out 15:53.880 --> 15:55.880 and get a wonderful view of the entire city. 15:55.880 --> 15:57.880 Yes, sir. You're welcome. 15:57.880 --> 15:59.880 Meals sent up. 15:59.880 --> 16:01.880 I guess he don't know there's a war on. 16:01.880 --> 16:03.880 That fire escape is a disaster. 16:03.880 --> 16:07.880 And now he wants his meals sent up. 16:07.880 --> 16:10.880 Say, do you suppose he's got somebody up there with him? 16:10.880 --> 16:13.880 I don't know, but I'd certainly like to take a look at his room. 16:13.880 --> 16:15.880 And I think I will if he goes out. 16:15.880 --> 16:17.880 That's a good idea. 16:17.880 --> 16:20.880 Now, I won't be long, Carl, 16:20.880 --> 16:23.880 but you're not to make a sound while I'm gone. 16:23.880 --> 16:25.880 You're not to make a sound while I'm gone. 16:25.880 --> 16:27.880 You're not to make a sound while I'm gone. 16:27.880 --> 16:29.880 You're not to make a sound while I'm gone. 16:29.880 --> 16:31.880 You're not to make a sound while I'm gone. 16:31.880 --> 16:33.880 You're not to make a sound while I'm gone. 16:33.880 --> 16:36.880 And if someone comes to the door, don't you answer it. 16:36.880 --> 16:39.880 And if someone starts to unlock it, you hide here. 16:39.880 --> 16:42.880 Here. Hide here in this closet. 16:42.880 --> 16:44.880 You understand? 16:44.880 --> 16:46.880 Remember now, no noise. 16:46.880 --> 16:50.880 Do everything I tell you, and everything will be all right. 16:50.880 --> 16:52.880 Yes, yes. 16:52.880 --> 17:04.880 I'll get something to eat, and I'll be right back. 17:04.880 --> 17:06.880 Well, going out again, Mr. Wilson? 17:06.880 --> 17:08.880 Yes, I am. Get a little something to eat. 17:08.880 --> 17:10.880 Have a nice dinner. 17:10.880 --> 17:12.880 Thank you. 17:12.880 --> 17:13.880 Miss White. Yeah? 17:13.880 --> 17:14.880 Have Frank take the board. 17:14.880 --> 17:16.880 Let you and I go upstairs. We'll have a look around while he's gone. 17:16.880 --> 17:18.880 Okay, okay. 17:18.880 --> 17:20.880 Frank. Yes, ma'am? 17:20.880 --> 17:22.880 Did you see what just went out the door? Yes, ma'am. 17:22.880 --> 17:24.880 Well, we're going up to his room. 17:24.880 --> 17:26.880 If he comes back before we return, ring twice to warn us. 17:26.880 --> 17:28.880 Yes, ma'am. 17:36.880 --> 17:38.880 Why are you knocking? 17:38.880 --> 17:40.880 I have a feeling someone's in there. 17:40.880 --> 17:42.880 Well, if there is, then I'll come into the door. 17:42.880 --> 17:44.880 Not if he sneaked them into the hotel. 17:44.880 --> 17:50.880 I'll unlock it. 17:50.880 --> 17:52.880 Hmm. 17:52.880 --> 17:54.880 Well, there's nothing unusual here. 17:54.880 --> 17:56.880 Look at this bundle of things, though. 17:56.880 --> 17:58.880 What do you mean? Well, here's a cap. 17:58.880 --> 18:00.880 Well, that looks like a boy's. 18:00.880 --> 18:02.880 Still, it might be his. 18:02.880 --> 18:04.880 He wasn't wearing a cap when he came in. 18:04.880 --> 18:06.880 No, he wasn't. 18:06.880 --> 18:08.880 Should I look in the closet? No, I don't think we need bother. 18:08.880 --> 18:10.880 If he did have someone in here, they're not here now. 18:10.880 --> 18:12.880 Well, I just think I'll take a look, 18:12.880 --> 18:14.880 as long as we're here. 18:14.880 --> 18:16.880 Oh! 18:16.880 --> 18:18.880 Oh! 18:18.880 --> 18:20.880 That's Frank. 18:20.880 --> 18:22.880 Well, he couldn't have had his dinner that fast. 18:22.880 --> 18:24.880 Maybe Frank's made a mistake. I'll see. 18:24.880 --> 18:26.880 Frank? 18:26.880 --> 18:28.880 Yeah? 18:28.880 --> 18:30.880 All right, we'll be out. 18:30.880 --> 18:32.880 He says he's carrying a package. 18:32.880 --> 18:34.880 Must have brought something back to eat here in the room. 18:34.880 --> 18:36.880 Come on, Miss White. We'd better get out of here. 18:36.880 --> 18:38.880 Hey, we'd better go down the stairs. 18:38.880 --> 18:40.880 I think he'll be coming up in the elevator. 18:40.880 --> 18:42.880 Miss White! 18:42.880 --> 18:44.880 What's the matter? You've walked off with the cap. 18:44.880 --> 18:46.880 Great, Scott, I have. 18:46.880 --> 18:48.880 I didn't realize. 18:48.880 --> 18:50.880 Well, what do we do?

I'd like to see the manager. 19:42.880 --> 19:44.880 He's not here. I'm in charge. Could I help you? 19:44.880 --> 19:46.880 I'm Detective Bowen. 19:46.880 --> 19:50.880 We're checking hotels in the vicinity for a certain John Barbie. 19:50.880 --> 19:52.880 Have you anyone registered by that name? 19:52.880 --> 19:54.880 No, no, I don't believe I have. But what kind of a looking man is he? 19:54.880 --> 19:56.880 Older man, about his 60s. 19:56.880 --> 19:58.880 Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait. 19:58.880 --> 20:00.880 I have someone here who answers that description. 20:00.880 --> 20:02.880 He's been acting peculiar, too. 20:02.880 --> 20:04.880 But he's registered under the name of Wilson. 20:04.880 --> 20:06.880 Here it is. John Wilson. 20:06.880 --> 20:08.880 He might be the one you're looking for, and I have a hunch he is. 20:08.880 --> 20:10.880 Is he in his room now? 20:10.880 --> 20:12.880 Yes, yes, he went up just a short time ago. 20:12.880 --> 20:14.880 I'd like to go up.

Murder. 20:26.880 --> 20:28.880 I don't think he's the type to make trouble, 20:28.880 --> 20:30.880 and I think it'll be easier if he opens the door himself. 20:30.880 --> 20:34.880 Well, I'll say that it's something about his moving to a double room. 20:36.880 --> 20:38.880 Mr. Wilson? 20:40.880 --> 20:44.880 Oh, Mr. Wilson, I have another room I think you'd be interested in seeing. 20:46.880 --> 20:48.880 I don't think anyone's there. 20:48.880 --> 20:50.880 There'll be a passkey. 20:50.880 --> 20:52.880 Oh, yes, yes. Open the door. 20:52.880 --> 20:58.880 I have a gun.

Come on. 21:58.880 --> 22:00.880 Wait, wait. It'll be quicker going up to the elevator. 22:00.880 --> 22:02.880 He can't get away. There's a cocktail lounge on the top floor. 22:02.880 --> 22:04.880 We'll catch him there. There's no place else for him to go. 22:04.880 --> 22:06.880 Careful now. 22:06.880 --> 22:08.880 Careful.
