Is this Mrs. Alden? 02:31.300 --> 02:32.300 Yes. 02:32.300 --> 02:34.300 This is Ed, Janet's husband. 02:34.300 --> 02:37.300 Oh, yes. How is Janet? 02:37.300 --> 02:39.300 Isn't she there with you? 02:39.300 --> 02:43.300 With me? I know, isn't she with you? 02:43.300 --> 02:44.300 No. 02:44.300 --> 02:49.300 That was all I needed to hear. 02:49.300 --> 02:51.300 I grabbed my hat and headed for the bus station. 02:51.300 --> 02:56.300 That was the only way she could have possibly gone to her mother's place at that time of night, by bus. 02:56.300 --> 03:00.300 First I wanted to find out if there was anybody who could positively identify her as having left. 03:00.300 --> 03:03.300 The guy at the ticket office wasn't very bright. 03:03.300 --> 03:07.300 The West Hampton? Well, seems like I remember somebody like that. 03:07.300 --> 03:09.300 It would have been Monday night, just about this time. 03:09.300 --> 03:11.300 West Hampton, Monday night? 03:11.300 --> 03:14.300 Well, maybe.

West Hampton. 03:19.300 --> 03:28.300 She was blonde, blue eyes, good looking. 03:28.300 --> 03:29.300 Sure, sure. I remember her. 03:29.300 --> 03:30.300 Where'd she get off? 03:30.300 --> 03:42.300 I think it was West Hampton. 03:42.300 --> 03:54.300 Well, good night. 03:54.300 --> 03:56.300 Yeah, we're closed for the night, Mr. Pumps.

16:06.300 --> 16:08.300 Well, maybe he built it to keep in practice. 16:08.300 --> 16:10.300 Come on, come on, let's go in. 16:14.300 --> 16:15.300 It's awful quiet. 16:15.300 --> 16:16.300 Yeah, well, why not? 16:16.300 --> 16:18.300 They're probably in bed, and that's where I would be 16:18.300 --> 16:20.300 if I hadn't met you talking to me in the distance. 16:20.300 --> 16:21.300 Listen, Bert, you don't think I... 16:21.300 --> 16:22.300 I'm here, ain't I?

21:27.300 --> 21:28.300 No. 21:28.300 --> 21:29.300 Not before I came to their house in East Port to take care of her. 21:29.300 --> 21:30.300 I was her nurse. 21:30.300 --> 21:31.300 And Joe and I. 21:31.300 --> 21:32.300 Well. 21:32.300 --> 21:33.300 Who got the idea to kill her?

21:59.300 --> 22:00.300 Money, of course. 22:00.300 --> 22:01.300 She kept a lot of bums around the house. 22:01.300 --> 22:02.300 That's what Joe wanted. 22:02.300 --> 22:05.320 Is that why you moved from East Port to West Hampton? 22:05.320 --> 22:06.320 Yes. 22:06.320 --> 22:08.220 Nobody knew us in West Hampton. 22:08.220 --> 22:09.300 We moved in at night. 22:09.300 --> 22:11.900 They thought there was only the two of us. 22:11.900 --> 22:14.100 They thought I was the real Mrs. Alder. 22:14.100 --> 22:15.100 When did he do it? 22:15.100 --> 22:18.000 About a week after we got there. 22:18.000 --> 22:19.000 One night. 22:19.000 --> 22:22.500 By morning she was where you found her 22:29.540 --> 22:31.420 We were doing better than 80 most of the way 22:31.420 --> 22:36.140 Well, I still didn't think we'd make it and naturally Bert was afraid to put the local cops around the house for fear 22:36.140 --> 22:38.140 Alden would spot the person take Janet away 22:38.820 --> 22:42.220 And do it somewhere else. We hadn't done it already 22:42.860 --> 22:44.860 Because Bert had the picture cold now 22:44.860 --> 22:49.620 Janet had come to the West Hampton house and found her mother was missing before Alden had been able to make it get away 22:49.900 --> 22:55.020 So Alden had to kill Janet too. He knew where he was taking her because of the clothes in the furnace of my house 22:55.300 --> 22:57.780 That was the tip off that Joe was going to try to plant it on me 22:58.260 --> 23:02.300 The only break I had at least I knew where to look if I could get there in time 23:05.020 --> 23:09.140 The outskirts of town we picked up a police escort Bert made them lay off and we got near the house 23:09.140 --> 23:15.860 We drove up the side street and parked a little ways off we walked up to the house. There was a car in front of it 23:16.700 --> 23:21.060 That Alden's car. Yes. All right now you're coming in with this lady 23:21.060 --> 23:26.220 But the first sound out of you and I'll shoot and I mean that I know much keys Ed. Yeah 23:30.820 --> 23:32.820 Yeah, I'm glad 23:32.820 --> 23:37.280 Oh, there's a light that's the door to the cellar come on 23:40.300 --> 23:42.300 He's digging 23:43.380 --> 23:46.700 Lights have gone out. He must have heard us on your flashlight. Come on, let's go 23:46.700 --> 23:53.700 Hey, you shouldn't have done that. He killed my wife and he switched on the light. Where is she? Maybe it isn't too late 23:54.300 --> 23:56.300 There she is 23:56.300 --> 24:02.460 She's dead. Yeah, yeah chloroform me smell it. Come on. Get that cough off her face. It's too late. Can't you see? Yeah 24:02.460 --> 24:04.460 Yeah, I'm afraid it 24:04.460 --> 24:10.660 Hey, wait a minute. What are you doing carrying a gun? I got a permit. Anyway, what's the use of asking questions like that? 24:10.660 --> 24:17.660 She's moving. Well, she's alive here. Come on it. Give me a hand quick. Yeah, you're red. Come on. Help me. I'm 24:18.900 --> 24:20.900 Hey, hey Ed, where you going? 24:23.140 --> 24:25.140 Put up your hands Ed 24:26.580 --> 24:28.580 Okay 24:29.140 --> 24:33.740 They're up yeah, you could at least have done it yourself 24:34.540 --> 24:37.580 You know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry 24:37.580 --> 24:42.220 You could at least have done it yourself instead of hiring a murderer 24:59.060 --> 25:04.500 What did you do it for Ed the money what do you think for fun? 25:04.500 --> 25:06.500 Go ahead talk 25:07.500 --> 25:09.500 Anything to make you happy 25:09.500 --> 25:13.940 Would have been perfect if all in that killer he first got her in the cellar like I told him to 25:14.540 --> 25:19.420 Maybe he had a sneaking idea. I was going to double-cross him. He was stalling until the last minute. I 25:20.100 --> 25:21.540 Don't know 25:21.540 --> 25:23.540 Anyway, it won't do him much good where he is 25:24.340 --> 25:25.300 Hmm 25:25.300 --> 25:30.500 What did what you have on him Ed the mother his wife? I'd been up there before alone 25:30.500 --> 25:35.620 I knew he killed his wife because I'd seen a picture that Janet had of the real wife. I spotted the room right away 25:36.500 --> 25:40.180 told all and I'd split the money with him if he took care of Janet and 25:41.060 --> 25:43.060 He didn't go on 25:43.380 --> 25:46.340 I knew I could pick a fight with Janet and I knew she'd run up to her mother 25:46.660 --> 25:50.500 And I went up there to make it look good after I left all in was to call the cops like he did 25:50.820 --> 25:54.260 You take me down here to headquarters and while you were giving me the old third degree 25:54.500 --> 25:56.500 All in was supposed to plant the body in the cellar 25:56.500 --> 26:00.660 All in was supposed to plant the body in the cellar that way I was in the clear because you know 26:00.740 --> 26:02.740 I couldn't have done it while I was down here talking to you 26:03.460 --> 26:05.860 You know, she hadn't been there before because you'd look 26:06.660 --> 26:08.820 That's why I planted the clothes in the furnace 26:09.300 --> 26:10.580 Remember? 26:10.580 --> 26:13.140 So you would look.
