you Vincent Price 12 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:07,040 in a remarkable tale of Suspense. 13 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,200 News and views in the world of art. 14 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,320 Yesterday at the Dovel Galleries, a record-breaking crowd attended one of the most sensational 15 00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:15,400 exhibitions of recent years. 16 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,960 Masterpiece of the show is a portrait by James Dorrance titled The Name of the Beast. 17 00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:25,800 This is savagely candid work, a face from which violence has shattered the last vestige 18 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,400 of humanity. 19 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,840 The tragic circumstances of the artist's death are too well known to review here. 20 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,920 But at the same time, one cannot help speculating upon the essential mystery surrounding this 21 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,240 remarkable canvas. 22 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:50,720 What is The Name of the Beast? 23 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,240 The name of the beast was Krebs, Elmer Krebs. 24 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,760 I found him in an evil waterfront dive, took him to my studio and made the first sketch 25 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,640 for the portrait that night. 26 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,200 I gave him money and he promised to return the next day. 27 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,640 When he didn't show up, I went in search of him. 28 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,400 It wasn't hard to trace. 29 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:15,400 My search came to an end in a squalid room of a waterfront hotel. 30 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,520 He didn't look up when I entered the room, but continued to sit there on the sagging, 31 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,680 dingy bedstead, holding his head in his hands and gently moaning. 32 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,600 I crossed the room and raised the blind to let in the daylight. 33 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,040 Then I saw it. 34 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,400 Blood on his hands, on his shirt front, in his hair and beard. 35 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:44,800 A horrible, sticky mass of blood. 36 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,960 You didn't show up for our appointment today. 37 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,880 I'm the painter you met last night. 38 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,880 Remember? 39 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,880 You were going to sit for a portrait. 40 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,880 What do you want? 41 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,720 You want your money back? 42 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,720 Certainly not. 43 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,720 I want to finish my painting. 44 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,000 I want you to come back to the studio. 45 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,360 That must be crazy. 46 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,200 Look here, it's very important for me to finish that painting. 47 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,760 I'll make it worth your while. 48 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,760 Money? 49 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,480 I don't need money. 50 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,320 Not anymore. 51 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,280 Maybe I can help you in some other way. 52 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,240 You're in some kind of trouble, that's obvious. 53 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,920 What business is that of yours? 54 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:15,320 You better wake up and pull yourself together. 55 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,160 We'll have to get rid of those clothes some way or other. 56 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,880 Hell, I'll think of some way. 57 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,880 What happened? 58 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,880 I told you it's none of your business. 59 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,400 Why don't you leave me alone? 60 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,600 I'm sick, all that blood. 61 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,440 The first thing we must do is clean up this mess here and get those clothes off. 62 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,000 And the shoes too. 63 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,560 I'll make a parcel out of them and dump them in the river after dark. 64 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,880 You better shave off that beard too. 65 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,120 They'll be looking for a man with a beard, you know. 66 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,120 Who will? 67 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,120 By the police, of course. 68 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,880 What makes you so sure of that? 69 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,320 I know more about you than you think I do. 70 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,560 You're bluffing. 71 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,120 Maybe, maybe not. 72 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,880 But you're in no position to take chances. 73 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,920 For all you know, I might be a witness. 74 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,120 I might have seen you kill... 75 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,120 Shut up! 76 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,120 Temper, temper. 77 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,120 I told you I'm sick. 78 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,120 I'm liable to do anything. 79 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,160 It wouldn't be smart for you to do anything to me, Elmer. 80 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,480 I'm your only hope, you know that, don't you? 81 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,240 You lost your head, you were clumsy. 82 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,800 To get away with murder, you need a clear head. 83 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,940 Look at the mistakes you've made already. 84 00:04:12,940 --> 00:04:13,940 Not all over you. 85 00:04:13,940 --> 00:04:16,080 As good as a rope around your neck. 86 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,200 Where did you hide the loot? 87 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,200 That's what you're after. 88 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,760 Then it was robbery. 89 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,760 Somewhere close by too. 90 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,640 Couldn't have gone far with all that blood on you without attracting attention. 91 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,640 Well? 92 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,200 It was in a shop, I imagine. 93 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,560 That means they probably won't find the body till Monday morning. 94 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,560 What's all this third degree? 95 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,560 You with the police? 96 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,560 On the contrary, Elmer. 97 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,080 I'm going to save you from the police. 98 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,080 Hmm? 99 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,660 I told you. 100 00:04:40,660 --> 00:04:43,360 I want to finish painting that portrait of you. 101 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,720 It don't make sense. 102 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,320 All it's just to paint some crazy picture. 103 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,520 Ah, but what a picture, Elmer. 104 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,600 I've waited 20 years to paint this picture. 105 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,840 Everything I've ever painted has been merely the preparation for this. 106 00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,640 I've worked alone. 107 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,200 Never exhibited a single canvas. 108 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,920 Do you know what it is to work alone? 109 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,680 Yeah, I know. 110 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,200 Nobody knows your name, but one day quite suddenly a masterpiece explodes in the face 111 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,920 of a jaded world. 112 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,520 Like your murder, Elmer. 113 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,600 After a life of petty crime, at last an act of yours really means something. 114 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,720 Newspapers will headline it. 115 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,680 The whole world will be clamoring to know your name. 116 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,040 Exciting, isn't it? 117 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,040 Exciting? 118 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,800 Well, that's the way I feel about this portrait. 119 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,800 I must finish the job. 120 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:25,800 Just a two-hour to finish. 121 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,000 How do I know you won't take those clothes to the cops instead of dumping them? 122 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,640 I'm taking a terrible chance walking out of here with a bundle of blood-stained clothes, 123 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,640 as it is. 124 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,800 They'd fit me about as well as they fit you. 125 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,720 Okay, that's fair enough. 126 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,840 By the way, where did it happen? 127 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,980 A hawk shop, number 23, next to the alley. 128 00:05:45,980 --> 00:05:46,980 Was it necessary to... 129 00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:49,400 An old man came in and started firing a revolver right off. 130 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,760 I don't pack no rod. 131 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,880 There was nothing else to do. 132 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,520 I grabbed the fire axe off the wall. 133 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,520 Oh, my. 134 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,120 And I suppose the police have your fingerprints on file? 135 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,240 Yeah, I'd done time once. 136 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,560 What did you do with the axe? 137 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,000 Just dropped it there. 138 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,600 I was sick, all that blood. 139 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,640 I suppose you left nice red fingerprints all over the place. 140 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,920 I didn't touch nothing. 141 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,640 Maybe the windowsill going out. 142 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,080 That's the first place they'll look. 143 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,520 And you're obviously in no condition to go back there now. 144 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,960 What are you trying to do? 145 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,020 Buy yourself a nice murder rap? 146 00:06:21,020 --> 00:06:25,680 My dear fellow, any intelligent man can get away with murder if he keeps his wits about 147 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,680 him. 148 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,340 You ought to be very grateful to me, Elmer. 149 00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:45,780 I'm going to take your clumsy crime and make it into a work of art. 150 00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:50,880 For Suspense, Roma Wines are bringing you as star Vincent Price in The Name of the Beast 151 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,440 by Robert Tolman. 152 00:06:52,440 --> 00:07:05,400 Roma Wines presentation tonight in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense. 153 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,680 Between the acts of suspense, this is Truman Bradley for Roma Wines. 154 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,600 Yesterday, a happily married friend told me one of his favorite formulas for enjoying 155 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,720 life. 156 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,320 He said he never eats dinner while still burdened with the pressures of a busy day. 157 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:26,720 Instead, he sits down for a few minutes, takes it easy, chats with his wife, and enjoys with 158 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:33,200 her a glass or two of Roma California Sherry, the perfect first call to dinner. 159 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:39,080 Yes, Roma Sherry before dinner is a pleasant custom millions now share with family and 160 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,080 friends. 161 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:47,480 For Roma Sherry is a glorious gold and amber wine, soft and mellow on the tongue, so inviting 162 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,520 with its pleasing nut-like taste. 163 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:56,580 Roma Sherry makes mealtime more welcome, helps you anticipate the good food to come. 164 00:07:56,580 --> 00:08:02,440 And when friends drop in, there's no more gracious greeting than a glass of Roma Sherry. 165 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,760 Tomorrow night before dinner, share Roma Sherry with your family. 166 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,800 It costs no more to serve Roma, America's favorite wine. 167 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,000 So insist on Roma, R-O-M-A, Roma Wines. 168 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,960 Remember, more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wine. 169 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,360 And now Roma Wines bring back to our Hollywood soundstage, Vincent Price as James Dorrance 170 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,920 with Elliot Lewis as Krebs in The Name of the Beast, a tale well calculated to keep 171 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:46,600 you in suspense. 172 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,720 The shoes of the beast were just my size. 173 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,880 I wore them when I went on my errand that night. 174 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,240 It was fortunate I did. 175 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,520 Getting into the place was simple. 176 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,760 It was an old fashioned lock and the skeleton key to my studio fitted it perfectly. 177 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,160 The shop bell jangled when I opened the door. 178 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,080 I made my way quickly along the dark rows of counters to the rear of the shop. 179 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,200 A pair of dusty portheads provided it from the back room. 180 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,160 I pulled them two behind me and snapped on my flashlight. 181 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,800 The body, or what was left of it, lay in a heap in the center of the room. 182 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,680 The floor, well, it was lucky I hadn't worn my own shoes. 183 00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:28,800 There would be tracks out of that place, red tracks. 184 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,660 The axe lay near the old man's head. 185 00:09:31,660 --> 00:09:34,400 I picked up the axe and carried it over to the sink. 186 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,200 I washed off what I could and smeared out the prints with cotton gloves on my hands. 187 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,360 Then I made a quick circuit of the room, taking in every surface. 188 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,080 With the wet gloves, I smeared the prints on the safe handle, the windowsill, and the 189 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,440 jimmy the murderer had so stupidly left behind him. 190 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,800 Then I dropped the cotton gloves on the floor and left them there. 191 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,320 No way to trace a pair of cheap cotton gloves. 192 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:04,440 Now there was only one last thing to do, walk around the block to dry the soles of those 193 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,360 shoes and burn them in the stove when I got back to my studio. 194 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:17,320 The handiwork of the beast would remain, but the name of the beast had been expunged. 195 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:26,920 But I didn't burn the shoes, nor did I throw that bundle of clothing into the river as 196 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,520 I had first planned to do that night. 197 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,760 No, no. 198 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:46,600 This would be an authentic portrait of a murderer in the very bloodstained garments of his crime. 199 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,960 That will be all for today, Elmer. 200 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,040 How much longer is this going on? 201 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,480 Until the painting is finished. 202 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:57,440 You can't set a time limit on the completion of a masterpiece, you know. 203 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,280 Don't look much like me. 204 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,280 You've forgotten. 205 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,760 I made the first sketch before you shaved off your beard. 206 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,760 I don't like this picture. 207 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,400 Did you have to paint in all that blood? 208 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,880 My dear fellow, no one in the world would ever recognize you as the man with the beard 209 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,880 in this painting. 210 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:13,880 I don't like this picture. 211 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,520 I don't like staying here. 212 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,640 Look, what about that stuff? 213 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,960 When can I start cashing in on it? 214 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,160 I should have thought I was paying you enough to live on. 215 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,280 I suppose I want to get married. 216 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,280 Well, the... 217 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,280 What? 218 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,280 Oh, good Lord, man. 219 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,360 You mustn't even consider it. 220 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,680 In the first place, I can't afford to support another person. 221 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:30,800 Who's asking you to support anybody? 222 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,800 I got that stuff, haven't I? 223 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,800 Well, I'm going to cash it in. 224 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,800 That's all. 225 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,860 Listen to me, Elmer. 226 00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:38,960 If you try to unload as much as one piece of that loot, the police will be on your tail 227 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:39,960 so fast. 228 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,640 Oh, no, my friend. 229 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,080 That stuff has got to stay where it is for some time to come. 230 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:49,240 You're just saying that so I'll have to depend on you so you can paint that lousy picture. 231 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,240 Really? 232 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:56,120 Oh, by the way, Elmer, I've never said anything about it before, but you never told me exactly 233 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,800 what you did do with the loot. 234 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,160 The suitcase, I told you. 235 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:05,400 Yes, I know, in a locker at Grand Central, but where's the ticket? 236 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:06,400 That's one secret I'm keeping. 237 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,400 Well, all right. 238 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,680 But you will promise me not to unload those jewels. 239 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:12,680 Not for a while yet. 240 00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:13,680 She keeps asking me, when are we going to get married? 241 00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:14,920 What am I going to tell her? 242 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,480 Oh, by the way, who is the lucky lady? 243 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,480 Jeannie. 244 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,480 Her name's Jeannie Baker. 245 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,160 Hey, wait a minute, though. 246 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,840 She don't know anything about me. 247 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,840 Not anything. 248 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:32,000 If I ever catch you talking to her, so help me, I'll kill you. 249 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:40,880 You say you're a friend of Elmer's? 250 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,440 Well, not a friend exactly. 251 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,600 I'm afraid this will be rather a shock to you. 252 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,720 You're very close to Mr. Krebs. 253 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,080 We're engaged to be married. 254 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,080 What is it? 255 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,280 Is he in some kind of trouble? 256 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,280 Are you a detective? 257 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,280 Well, not exactly. 258 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,040 You see, I represent the insurance company. 259 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,040 What insurance company? 260 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,040 State indemnity. 261 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,160 Our policy holder doesn't want to prosecute, but at the same time... 262 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,160 Prosecute? 263 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,960 Well, after all, the jewels were of considerable value. 264 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:09,960 What jewels? 265 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,080 Why, the jewels in the suitcase, in the locker at Grand Central. 266 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,960 He did leave the ticket with you, didn't he? 267 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,600 Well, yes, but I mean, he didn't tell me that... 268 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,720 Well, he did say it was valuable and he didn't want to risk losing the ticket, but... 269 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,800 How did you know about it? 270 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:29,040 My dear Miss Baker, we insurance investigators have ways of finding out these things. 271 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,720 Now then, if you're a sensible young woman, and I can see that you're not only a sensible 272 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,800 young woman, but a very beautiful one as well. 273 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,320 Mr. Dorrance, what has he done? 274 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:44,320 Well, I don't think he regarded it as a theft exactly, more of a loan in all probability. 275 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,680 After all, his aunt was a very old lady and... 276 00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:49,880 You mean he stole this jewelry from his aunt? 277 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,840 Well, I wanted to spare you those exact words if I could. 278 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,560 Actually, the lady would prefer not to prosecute, but of course, if we can secure the return 279 00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:01,080 of the property in no other way... 280 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,120 I suppose I'd be arrested too as an accessory or something. 281 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:10,200 I must say it was rather thoughtless of him to have involved you in this manner. 282 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,040 How do I know you're what you say you are? 283 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:17,680 I have credentials, of course, but I would rather take care of this unofficially, especially 284 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:23,120 since this little talk with you, you're much too fine a person to be involved in a sordid 285 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,800 affair like this. 286 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,360 I don't even know that suitcase has any jewels in it. 287 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:44,360 Then supposing we go there together and get it, Jeannie? 288 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,920 Well now, now let's have a look. 289 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:47,920 How are we going to... 290 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,880 Well, I think I have a key here that'll open it. 291 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:52,880 There. 292 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:53,880 What? 293 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,520 Those must be worth a fortune. 294 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,040 Yes, they are, Miss Baker. 295 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,040 You understand our concern? 296 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,040 Yes. 297 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,640 Close it up. 298 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,160 I don't want to look at it anymore. 299 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,140 I'd like to have spared you this. 300 00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:11,960 You understand, of course, that I wouldn't dream of prosecuting, not now that I've met 301 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,960 you. 302 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,660 I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Dorrance. 303 00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:17,160 This is such a shock to me. 304 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,160 How could he? 305 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,160 How could he? 306 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,160 There, there. 307 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:26,300 You're not the first innocent girl to be deceived by an unscrupulous fellow like that. 308 00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:30,320 How did you happen to become involved with him in the first place? 309 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,320 I was lonely. 310 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,140 I have no friends here, and he came into the cafe where I wait- 311 00:15:34,140 --> 00:15:35,140 Oh, there, there now. 312 00:15:35,140 --> 00:15:38,240 You won't let anything happen to me. 313 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:52,080 I promise you I'll do anything to keep you from knowing another moment's unhappiness. 314 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,080 That night I worked feverishly like a man possessed. 315 00:15:55,080 --> 00:16:00,080 But as I worked, an uncanny change came over the man in the portrait. 316 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,400 There was something about it, something that terrified and at the same time fascinated 317 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,400 me. 318 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,280 Yet the more I tried to make it come right, the less it really looked like Krebs. 319 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:15,000 I began to regret I had had him shave his beard in spite of the risk involved. 320 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,360 Being clean-shaven altered a man's appearance more than I thought. 321 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,920 But that wasn't the real difficulty. 322 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,400 The real trouble was Jeannie Baker. 323 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,320 How could she ever have loved a beast like Krebs? 324 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,560 A girl so gentle, so lovely. 325 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,560 I tried not to think of her, but the image of Jeannie stood between me and the canvas, 326 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,240 and the painting just would not come right. 327 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,440 This Krebs sat there suddenly posing for me, his eyes began to grow more and more cunning 328 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,080 and suspicious, as though he could actually read my thoughts. 329 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,880 He would jump up every time I laid down my brush and circled the portrait like an infuriated 330 00:16:52,880 --> 00:17:00,240 animal, until finally, around four in the morning, he dropped off to snoring. 331 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,800 I let him stay there. 332 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,800 In the dawn light, I looked at the picture for the last time and draped the easel to 333 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,220 shut it out of my sight. 334 00:17:09,220 --> 00:17:15,400 My masterpiece, for which I had become accessory after the fact of one murder and sowed the 335 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:21,680 seeds of a second, was, I knew it now deep in my heart, a failure. 336 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,840 I was obsessed now with only one resolve, to prevent the second murder, which by some 337 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,080 instinct I knew was in Krebs' mind. 338 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:44,600 At whatever cost to myself, no harm must come to Jeannie. 339 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,840 Mr. Dorrance, I've been told that artists are full of romantic notions and the Bureau 340 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,080 has dealt with a number of them in this neighborhood, as you can well imagine. 341 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,520 But I must say that of all the pipe dreams that have been brought to me, yours is the 342 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,520 most fantastic. 343 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,200 Oh, but listen, Inspector, you've got to believe me, that girl's life is in danger. 344 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,000 Yeah, we're checking on that. 345 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,400 Now, let's check on a few other things, Mr. Dorrance. 346 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,440 You say that on the night of the 12th, you met this man Krebs at a place called Louis. 347 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,440 Yes, sir. 348 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,840 You went with him to your studio and made a sketch of him for a portrait. 349 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,520 All right, so far so good. 350 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,320 He promised to return the following day and sit again for the painting. 351 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,320 He failed to show up, so you sought him out at his hotel. 352 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,720 Now the story really becomes incredible. 353 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,240 He tells you he's committed a ghastly murder. 354 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,800 He's covered in blood. 355 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,840 You offered to help him get away with the murder in order to finish the portrait. 356 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,880 Oh, now really, Mr. Dorrance, you painters need publicity as bad as all that. 357 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,040 But Inspector, I tell you, I have all the evidence. 358 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,040 Where? 359 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,040 In the studio. 360 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,040 Where's this man Krebs? 361 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,080 Except for the portrait, you say you painted of him. 362 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,280 I can't find a shred of evidence that he exists. 363 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,280 Oh, just a minute. 364 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,280 Yes, Sergeant. 365 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,280 They've picked up the girl. 366 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,280 Good. 367 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,280 Send her in. 368 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,280 She'll tell you. 369 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,280 She'll tell you who Krebs is. 370 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,080 Oh, come in, Miss Baker. 371 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,640 We won't detain you long. 372 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,560 Miss Baker, do you know this man? 373 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,200 I say, do you know this man? 374 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,200 It's all right, my dear. 375 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,200 Speak up. 376 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,200 Yes. 377 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,280 He's a man. 378 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,920 His name is Elmer Krebs. 379 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:22,200 A few minutes later, they let me go, dismissing me as a harmless crackpot. 380 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,760 Jeannie walked out of the station with me, clinging to my arm with solicitude as one 381 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:32,840 might act towards a beloved and mentally ill relative. 382 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,840 Why did you do it? 383 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,480 Elmer came to my apartment last night. 384 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,480 He told me the whole story. 385 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,480 But then why? 386 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,640 He was boasting, boasting about how he's pinned the crime on you. 387 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,080 Don't you see? 388 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,120 Everything you've done to save him has incriminated you, the bloodstained clothes, even the loot. 389 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:47,120 Oh, I'm tired. 390 00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:48,120 I don't know. 391 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:49,120 Listen to me. 392 00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:52,520 He'll always be a threat to us, to our happiness. 393 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,520 He's safe. 394 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:54,680 The police don't even know he exists. 395 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:55,960 They don't even know what he looks like. 396 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,280 There's still the portrait. 397 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,640 It's not a masterpiece, but they can identify him from it. 398 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,680 I see. 399 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,240 Darling, you didn't mind my rechristening you? 400 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,940 You once loved a man named Krebs. 401 00:20:09,940 --> 00:20:12,260 And I still love a man named Krebs. 402 00:20:12,260 --> 00:20:13,260 And it's all right. 403 00:20:13,260 --> 00:20:14,880 For that, I'd do anything. 404 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,320 Put this in your overcoat pocket. 405 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,320 It'll keep you safe, darling. 406 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,320 What? 407 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,320 Oh, no, no. 408 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:27,880 It'll keep you safe, darling. 409 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,600 He was there in my studio when I got in that evening, waiting for me. 410 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,640 I had more or less expected it. 411 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,440 I hadn't expected to find him in such a cheerful frame of mind. 412 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:42,260 He had pulled the drape off of the painting and was walking around it, viewing it from 413 00:20:42,260 --> 00:20:43,260 every angle. 414 00:20:43,260 --> 00:20:44,260 Hi, Dorrance. 415 00:20:44,260 --> 00:20:45,260 How did you get in here? 416 00:20:45,260 --> 00:20:46,260 Through the door. 417 00:20:46,260 --> 00:20:48,260 No more window jobs for me, Dorrance. 418 00:20:48,260 --> 00:20:49,260 The picture. 419 00:20:49,260 --> 00:20:50,260 How about that? 420 00:20:50,260 --> 00:20:51,760 Got a new model, huh? 421 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:52,760 What? 422 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,760 The picture? 423 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,500 Oh, it's no good. 424 00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:56,680 By the way, it's finished now. 425 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,680 You won't need to come here anymore. 426 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,680 You say. 427 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,160 I'll get you the suitcase. 428 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,720 I suppose it'll be safe for you to cash that stuff in by this time. 429 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,600 I already found the suitcase, Dorrance. 430 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,600 Oh? 431 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,600 Well, take it along with you, then. 432 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,600 It's over there on the table. 433 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:08,600 I opened it up. 434 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,600 Well? 435 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,640 Did you think I'd take it without checking on the contents? 436 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,640 What are you talking about? 437 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,640 What'd you do with the rocks, Dorrance? 438 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,640 Rocks! 439 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,640 You took the rocks, the jewelry. 440 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,280 There's nothing left there but the settings, a pile of junk. 441 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,200 Listen, Krebs, I swear I never opened that suitcase but once, just after we took it out 442 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,200 of the locker. 443 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,200 We? 444 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,200 She's in it with you. 445 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,680 Listen, Krebs, you can think whatever you want to about me, but keep Jeannie out of 446 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:29,680 it. 447 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,680 I keep Jeannie out of it? 448 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,680 That's a lass. 449 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:32,680 Listen to what I say. 450 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:33,680 Krebs, where are you going? 451 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,680 To her place. 452 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,680 If she has those rocks, I'm gonna get her. 453 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:37,680 Krebs, come back here. 454 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,680 I've got a job to do. 455 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,680 Krebs, if you go out of that door, I warn you. 456 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,680 All right. 457 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,680 You're out of your mind! 458 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:54,520 I dragged his body inside the door and left it there. 459 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,320 Then I dropped the revolver Jeannie had given me back in my overcoat pocket and left my 460 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,080 studio for the last time. 461 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,360 As I closed the door on the room, it seemed that the face in the portrait was grinning 462 00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:10,360 at me in hideous mockery. 463 00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:16,960 I had meant to go straight to the police and give myself up, but I must have known in my 464 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,760 heart that I wouldn't. 465 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:25,320 Instead, I walked and my feet took me almost against my will to the house on Grove Street, 466 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,480 the house where Jeannie lived. 467 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,200 I had roused her from sleep and she seemed rather cross. 468 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,000 What's the big idea barging in here this time of night? 469 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000 I had to see you, Jeannie. 470 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,000 Well? 471 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,800 That was an unlucky name you gave me, Jeannie. 472 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:42,800 What's happened? 473 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,600 I shot him. 474 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,680 You gave me a murderer's name and now I am a murderer. 475 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,200 So you really did it. 476 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,720 I wondered if you'd have the guts. 477 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:52,720 Jeannie! 478 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,720 Oh, Jeannie! 479 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,400 What do you want me to do, put on black and cry myself to death? 480 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,400 You loved him once. 481 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,400 Who said so? 482 00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,840 You were going to marry him. 483 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:00,840 Maybe. 484 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,680 I thought he was smart once. 485 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,000 I said I'd marry him if he pulled a really big job. 486 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,880 I might have kept my word, but he bungled it. 487 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:08,920 What's worse, he involved me. 488 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,680 When I found out he'd planted that stuff on me. 489 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,680 You knew. 490 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,680 You knew all the time. 491 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,680 Oh, so what? 492 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,680 So what? 493 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:15,680 You'll get your cut. 494 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,960 Oh, Krebs was right. 495 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:24,160 You did take those stones and I killed a man for you, to save you. 496 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,160 What did you do with the gun? 497 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,840 It's in my overcoat pocket. 498 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,840 I was going to the police. 499 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:28,840 Oh, you sap. 500 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,160 Why didn't you leave the gun there? 501 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,160 Make it look like suicide. 502 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,800 It was, in a way, wasn't it, Jeannie? 503 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,480 I'm Krebs now. 504 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,480 Dorrance is dead. 505 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,520 You planned it very nicely. 506 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,520 Oh, stop. 507 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,520 Stop trying to be deep. 508 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,400 It doesn't matter what your name is. 509 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,480 Either way, you've messed it up. 510 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,480 Anybody have a key to your place? 511 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,480 No. 512 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:49,480 And we still have time. 513 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:50,480 Time for what? 514 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,480 The body. 515 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,080 Any intelligent person can get away with murder if he keeps his wits about him. 516 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,080 You told Elmer that. 517 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,960 Yes, I told Elmer that. 518 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,040 You're scared to go back there, aren't you? 519 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,960 Do you want me to do it for you? 520 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:02,960 No. 521 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:03,960 No, I'll do it. 522 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:04,960 I must do it. 523 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:05,960 Here. 524

--> 00:24:31,280 What a shambles. 532 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,800 Looks as if he chopped this guy and then bumped himself off. 533 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:35,800 Who are they? 534 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:36,800 I don't know the other one. 535 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,560 This is the guy that came in the headquarters Saturday. 536 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,560 You know, the artist. 537 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,560 Huh? 538 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,480 Boy, that must have been something to his story after all. 539 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,480 Here's a note he left. 540 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,040 Hey, dear Inspector, the portrait I told you about is standing on the easel facing the 541 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,520 window so you can see it in the light. 542 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:52,520 James Dorrance. 543 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,440 I guess this must be it here. 544 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,560 He said it'd identify the murderer. 545 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,560 Is it a good likeness? 546 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,720 Gee, I don't know. 547 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:00,720 You look at it. 548 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,720 Ah. 549 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:02,720 Why, it's a woman. 550 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,600 Yeah, it's that dame we picked up. 551 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,600 The little waitress. 552 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,520 Hey, but look, it's got men's clothes on. 553 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,520 Bloody. 554 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,360 And the way he's made the face all twisted and ugly. 555 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:17,360 She was a good looking kid. 556 00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:18,360 Yeah, she was. 557 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:19,360 He must have been cracked. 558 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:20,360 I guess he must have been. 559 00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:23,760 A thing like that makes you wonder, don't it? 560 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:35,720 Yeah, a thing like that makes you wonder. 561 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:41,160 The discerning art lover will recognize Dorrance's painting as more than a mere portrait. 562 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:46,920 It's the human soul stripped naked and its dark and deep and secret places shown in all 563 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,800 their morbid brooding fascination. 564 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,880 But still one cannot help wondering, what is the name of the beast? 565 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,200 Did the woman in the portrait exist or was she only the creature of the artist's fevered 566 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,200 imagination? 567 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:06,880 Our only clue is in a quotation which the artist caused to be printed in the exhibition 568 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:07,880 catalog. 569 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:14,800 And he causeth all to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads. 570 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:21,240 And that no man might buy or sell save that he had the mark or the name of the beast or 571 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,560 the number of his name. 572 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:29,000 That him that hath understanding count the number of the beast. 573 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:52,400 For it is the number of man. 574 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,240
