Get out of here, Matthews. 192 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Wait a minute. If Lila wants me to go... 193 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000 Not satisfied with my suggestions, huh? 194 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000 Well, I have a good mind... Lee, stop it. Put that gun away. 195 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000 Every time you have a few drinks, you start waving that gun around. 196 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000 Really, Lee, you better put it down. Stop acting like a kid. 197 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000 Acting like a kid, huh? I'll show you who's acting like a kid. 198 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Give me that gun. Lee! 199 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000 Come on, Lee. Give it to me. I'll break your arm. 200 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Let go of my... 201 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Lila, it went off. 202 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000 I was only trying to take it away from him. 203 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000 You killed him. Ken, you killed my brother. 204 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000 I didn't mean it, I tell you. You saw what happened. 205 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000 I was only trying to get the gun. 206 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000 The police will find you.

Get out! 208 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000 I got out all right in a hurry. 209 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000 It was pouring that night and I ran down the street with a rain slapping me in the face. 210 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000 I ran up a back alley into the darkness and then... 211 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000 Then I stopped. I didn't want to run. 212 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000 Not for the rest of my life. 213 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000 I went to the nearest police station, turned myself in. 214 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000 They took me back to the Burks and we found Lila sitting in a chair, glassy-eyed, 215 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000 just staring down at her brother, Lee. 216 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,000 He... He was right where I'd left him, sprawled on the floor, face down. 217 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Lee Burke was dead and they gave me ten years for killing him. 218 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000 Only now he wasn't dead. He couldn't be. 219 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000 I'd just seen him walk into a bank. 220 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,000 Uh... A nice car you got. 221 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Yeah. 222 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000 Must be an important man to have a car like that, eh? 223 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Yeah, he's a big guy. 224 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000 Lots of money, I suppose, eh? 225 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Yeah, he's crawling with it. Does that make you happy? 226 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000 His name... Doesn't happen to be Burke, does it? 227 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000 No, Wilson. Keith Wilson. He also happens to be a stockbroker. 228 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Anything else you want to know? 229 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000 Keith Wilson? 230 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000 Yeah, now beat it. The boss is coming. 231 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000 The boss? Now, isn't that something? 232 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000 All right, Davis. I'll go straight to the office now. 233 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000 Yes, sir. 234 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000 You in a hurry, Lee? 235 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000 Well, there must be some mistake. My name isn't Lee. 236 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000 Oh, pardon me. 237 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000 But it was Lee. There wasn't any doubt about it. 238 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000 And he knew me, too. I could see it in his eyes, 239 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000 and in the way his face went white. 240 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000 I didn't understand it. I couldn't figure out why or how, 241 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000 but Lee Burke was alive. 242 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000 The rest of the fortune went for a taxi ride, but it was worth it to me. 243 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000 And I guess if I hadn't had enough money to follow Lee's car wherever it went, 244 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000 I'd have forced the cab driver with that gun I'd bought. 245 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000 But it wasn't necessary. We went out to Long Island. Way out! 246 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000 And then the car swung into a place with a big half-circle drive. 247 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000 Lee Burke, now Mr. Keith Wilson, was doing very well for himself. 248 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000 And so was Lila. 249 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000 What's the matter, Lila? 250 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Ken. 251 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Is it like seeing a ghost? 252 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000 Ken.

I ought to kill you both. 266 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000 No, Ken, don't talk like that. 267 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000 It wasn't me. I didn't plan it. 268 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000 But it was a plan, wasn't it, Lila? Wasn't it? 269 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000 Yes. 270 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000 You want to tell me about it or do I have to choke it out of him? 271 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000 I'll tell you. 272 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000 What's the difference? 273 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000 You didn't kill Lee. You didn't kill anybody. 274 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000 Huh? 275 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000 It was a frame-up. 276 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000 Then how could I have seen him like that? 277 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000 Lee was on the floor, dead. 278 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000 No, that wasn't Lee. 279 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000 He found the man, Ken, a stumbled bum, a drunk, 280 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000 and the man looked just like him, 281 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000 close enough for what Lee had figured out. 282 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000 It was the crookedest scheme you ever heard. 283 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000 Took out insurance with every company in town, 284 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000 half a million dollars with me as beneficiary. 285 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000 Was going to kill this drifter and disappear, 286 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000 let me collect the money. 287 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000 It was as simple as that at first. 288 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000 Keep talking. 289 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000 I told him it wouldn't work, Ken, 290 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000 that they'd never pay off, not that much. 291 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000 Not till they checked fingerprints, teaked everything, 292 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000 but he had that figured too. 293 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000 They wouldn't check a thing if a fall guy pleaded guilty 294 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000 to a murder charge. 295 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000 So that's how it was. 296 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000 You were the fall guy. 297 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000 I let you take me home that night, remember?
