00:00.000 --> 00:13.000
Auto Light and its 96,000 dealers bring you Mr. Dan Durier in a story based on fact.

00:13.000 --> 00:16.000
Tonight's presentation of...

00:16.000 --> 00:19.000
Suspense.

00:19.000 --> 00:27.000
A young man holds up a shop, is cornered, kills.

00:27.000 --> 00:29.000
You've read the story in your newspaper.

00:29.000 --> 00:42.000
Tonight, Auto Light recreates it and calls it, Remember Me, Our Star Mr. Dan Durier.

00:42.000 --> 00:45.000
Well, Hap, it's April again. What does that remind you of?

00:45.000 --> 00:50.000
Why, showers, of course, Harlow. And what does April remind you of?

00:50.000 --> 00:52.000
An Auto Light's day full of battery, Hap.

00:52.000 --> 00:56.000
But then every month reminds me of that bright, brisk and brawny battery

00:56.000 --> 00:59.000
that needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

00:59.000 --> 01:03.000
That especially energetic super starter that gives longer life,

01:03.000 --> 01:07.000
as proved by tests conducted according to accepted life cycle standards.

01:07.000 --> 01:12.000
And I suppose in April you can get an Auto Light's day full at the same place as always, Harlow?

01:12.000 --> 01:16.000
Why, sure, Hap, at your nearest Auto Light battery dealer.

01:16.000 --> 01:20.000
He services all makes of batteries and has an Auto Light's day full

01:20.000 --> 01:23.000
in case a replacement is needed for your car.

01:23.000 --> 01:27.000
If you find your nearest neighborhood dealer, just call Western Union by number.

01:27.000 --> 01:32.000
And ask for me, Operator 25. I'll tell you where you can get an Auto Light's day full.

01:32.000 --> 01:36.000
The battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

01:36.000 --> 01:42.000
And remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always right with Auto Light.

01:42.000 --> 01:47.000
And now with Remember Me and the performance of Mr. Dan Durier,

01:47.000 --> 01:53.000
Auto Light hopes once again to keep you in suspense.

02:03.000 --> 02:06.000
In three minutes it'll be over, Harry boy.

02:06.000 --> 02:10.000
No longer than it takes the Iceman to make a routine delivery.

02:10.000 --> 02:13.000
All you have to do is walk in and wave a gun.

02:13.000 --> 02:17.000
And then you got money in your pocket again. Easy.

02:18.000 --> 02:22.000
Funny how they always turn to jelly when they see a gun.

02:23.000 --> 02:26.000
The light's still on in the window.

02:26.000 --> 02:30.000
Street's dark, nobody around. Just right.

02:31.000 --> 02:35.000
There he is. Inside counting money.

02:35.000 --> 02:39.000
You just made it. I was closing. What can I do for you?

02:39.000 --> 02:41.000
This is a stick up.

02:41.000 --> 02:42.000
What?

02:42.000 --> 02:44.000
A stick up, a stick up. Come on, I want the money.

02:44.000 --> 02:46.000
No, you can't do this. You can't.

02:46.000 --> 02:48.000
This says I can't.

02:49.000 --> 02:51.000
Now, put all your dough in a paper bag and hurry.

02:51.000 --> 02:53.000
But I don't have much money. This is a small business.

02:53.000 --> 02:55.000
Come on, empty that register.

02:55.000 --> 02:58.000
I won't. You get out of here.

02:58.000 --> 03:00.000
Out of the way.

03:00.000 --> 03:02.000
I'm not going to do this.

03:02.000 --> 03:05.000
I won't. You get out of here.

03:05.000 --> 03:07.000
Out of the way? I'll get it myself.

03:07.000 --> 03:09.000
No, no.

03:10.000 --> 03:12.000
For a small business, you do okay.

03:12.000 --> 03:15.000
You can't take my money. I won't let you.

03:15.000 --> 03:17.000
Crazy old man. Get away from me.

03:17.000 --> 03:19.000
You can't rob me. You can't.

03:21.000 --> 03:23.000
You dirty hoot.

03:23.000 --> 03:28.000
Oh, fool. Asking for it.

03:35.000 --> 03:38.000
Got to get out of here. Where's my hat?

03:41.000 --> 03:43.000
Didn't think you'd still be open, mister.

03:43.000 --> 03:45.000
Who are you? Where's Mr. Leibowitz?

03:45.000 --> 03:48.000
He, uh, isn't here. He had to leave.

03:48.000 --> 03:50.000
Is Mrs. Leibowitz sick again?

03:50.000 --> 03:53.000
Yeah. Yeah, she's sick again.

03:53.000 --> 03:55.000
I've been watching the store for him. I was just closing.

03:55.000 --> 03:57.000
Oh. Well, maybe I better run upstairs

03:57.000 --> 03:59.000
and see if there's anything I can do.

03:59.000 --> 04:01.000
No, uh, no. He took her to the hospital.

04:01.000 --> 04:02.000
They aren't here.

04:02.000 --> 04:05.000
Gee, I'm sorry to hear that.

04:05.000 --> 04:07.000
What are you looking at me for?

04:07.000 --> 04:08.000
Don't I know you?

04:08.000 --> 04:10.000
No, you don't know me. Look, I'm closing.

04:10.000 --> 04:11.000
You'll have to come back tomorrow.

04:11.000 --> 04:13.000
Harry. Harry Norris.

04:13.000 --> 04:14.000
Sure, we went to school together.

04:14.000 --> 04:15.000
You know me?

04:15.000 --> 04:17.000
Sure, from Stuyvesant High.

04:17.000 --> 04:18.000
I'm Ruth Shaw, remember?

04:18.000 --> 04:20.000
No, I don't remember you.

04:20.000 --> 04:22.000
No, I guess you wouldn't.

04:22.000 --> 04:24.000
But I remember you, Harry.

04:24.000 --> 04:26.000
Yeah. I guess you do.

04:26.000 --> 04:28.000
I just need a few things before you close.

04:28.000 --> 04:29.000
Here's the list.

04:29.000 --> 04:32.000
Yeah. Uh, you pull down the shades on the windows

04:32.000 --> 04:34.000
and throw the latch while I get them.

04:34.000 --> 04:35.000
Sure.

04:35.000 --> 04:37.000
Of all the people to run into,

04:37.000 --> 04:39.000
I haven't seen you since high school.

04:39.000 --> 04:41.000
Let's see. Bread.

04:41.000 --> 04:43.000
Bread. Bread.

04:43.000 --> 04:45.000
Oh, here.

04:45.000 --> 04:47.000
Coffee.

04:47.000 --> 04:49.000
Coffee.

04:49.000 --> 04:51.000
Where's the coffee?

04:51.000 --> 04:52.000
Right there above you.

04:52.000 --> 04:53.000
What?

04:53.000 --> 04:54.000
The coffee.

04:54.000 --> 04:55.000
Oh. Oh.

04:55.000 --> 04:58.000
And potato salad in the refrigerator.

04:58.000 --> 05:00.000
Look, do you have to have all this stuff right now?

05:00.000 --> 05:02.000
Of course I do. What's the matter?

05:02.000 --> 05:05.000
Nothing. I'll get the potato salad.

05:05.000 --> 05:07.000
You haven't changed a bit, Harry.

05:07.000 --> 05:09.000
I know you anywhere.

05:09.000 --> 05:11.000
You know, I never forget a face.

05:11.000 --> 05:21.000
Especially yours.

05:21.000 --> 05:23.000
It's too bad.

05:23.000 --> 05:25.000
She's kind of a pretty girl, but she had to walk in on me.

05:25.000 --> 05:27.000
She does remember me.

05:27.000 --> 05:29.000
She could put the finger on me, but fast

05:29.000 --> 05:31.000
when they find old man Lebowitz's body.

05:31.000 --> 05:33.000
Too bad.

05:33.000 --> 05:35.000
Now I gotta kill her too, but not here.

05:35.000 --> 05:37.000
Somebody might have heard the shots and called the cops.

05:37.000 --> 05:40.000
I gotta get out of here and take her with me.

05:40.000 --> 05:42.000
But I gotta be careful.

05:42.000 --> 05:44.000
Make her think I belong here.

05:44.000 --> 05:46.000
Get the rest of her stuff and get out of here.

05:46.000 --> 05:48.000
Potato salad. What else do you...

05:48.000 --> 05:50.000
Oh.

05:50.000 --> 05:52.000
I thought you were pulling the shades down.

05:52.000 --> 05:53.000
They're down.

05:53.000 --> 05:54.000
What else do you need?

05:54.000 --> 05:56.000
That's enough for now.

05:56.000 --> 05:58.000
I have more than I can carry, as it is.

05:58.000 --> 05:59.000
That's all, then?

05:59.000 --> 06:00.000
Yes. How much is it?

06:00.000 --> 06:04.000
Three and a half, even.

06:04.000 --> 06:07.000
Here. Two. Three and a half.

06:07.000 --> 06:09.000
On the nose.

06:09.000 --> 06:12.000
Well, it was nice seeing you again, Harry.

06:12.000 --> 06:14.000
I'll run now and let you close.

06:14.000 --> 06:16.000
Wait. Don't rush off.

06:16.000 --> 06:19.000
I'd better. I've kept you, as it is.

06:19.000 --> 06:21.000
That's okay. I'll walk here.

06:21.000 --> 06:23.000
We can talk about old times.

06:23.000 --> 06:26.000
Don't you have to do anything before you close?

06:26.000 --> 06:28.000
No. All done.

06:28.000 --> 06:30.000
Here. I'll carry the groceries for you.

06:30.000 --> 06:32.000
That's okay. I can carry them.

06:32.000 --> 06:34.000
I only live around the corner on Third Avenue.

06:34.000 --> 06:36.000
I'm going that way, too.

06:36.000 --> 06:38.000
I'll carry this for you. Come on.

06:38.000 --> 06:39.000
Well?

06:39.000 --> 06:41.000
I forgot. I need flour, too.

06:41.000 --> 06:42.000
Flour?

06:42.000 --> 06:44.000
Yes. The large bag there on the stand.

06:44.000 --> 06:45.000
I'll get it.

06:45.000 --> 06:48.000
Okay. Okay.

06:48.000 --> 06:51.000
Got it. Here. 60 cents.

06:51.000 --> 06:53.000
We'll charge it. Let's get out of here.

06:53.000 --> 06:54.000
I can carry the flour.

06:54.000 --> 06:58.000
All right. But you do need help with all this other stuff.

06:58.000 --> 07:00.000
Want me to get the light?

07:00.000 --> 07:03.000
Yeah. Please.

07:03.000 --> 07:08.000
There.

07:15.000 --> 07:17.000
Nice of you to carry the packages for me, Harry.

07:17.000 --> 07:18.000
It's nothing.

07:18.000 --> 07:20.000
I'm surprised I haven't run into you before.

07:20.000 --> 07:21.000
Around the store.

07:21.000 --> 07:25.000
This is the first time I watch the store for Mr. Leibowitz.

07:25.000 --> 07:27.000
He must have left in an awful hurry.

07:27.000 --> 07:29.000
He did. His wife was pretty sick.

07:29.000 --> 07:31.000
Do you have to walk so fast?

07:31.000 --> 07:34.000
No. Sorry.

07:34.000 --> 07:36.000
Where did you say you lived?

07:36.000 --> 07:38.000
On 3rd Avenue. Just around the corner.

07:38.000 --> 07:40.000
You live alone?

07:40.000 --> 07:41.000
Yes.

07:41.000 --> 07:44.000
You, uh... You know, it's been a long time since high school.

07:44.000 --> 07:46.000
You've got a good memory for faces.

07:46.000 --> 07:48.000
I know.

07:48.000 --> 07:49.000
I don't remember you.

07:49.000 --> 07:52.000
You wouldn't. You didn't know me too well.

07:52.000 --> 07:55.000
You used to say hello sometimes when we passed in the halls.

07:55.000 --> 07:56.000
Oh?

07:56.000 --> 08:00.000
You were a big shot. Football player and all that stuff.

08:00.000 --> 08:02.000
All the girls had a crush on you, Harry.

08:02.000 --> 08:03.000
Did they?

08:03.000 --> 08:07.000
Sure.

08:07.000 --> 08:09.000
Been living in this neighborhood long?

08:09.000 --> 08:11.000
Too long.

08:11.000 --> 08:14.000
But the rent's cheap and I'm not far from work, so I stay here.

08:14.000 --> 08:16.000
I know what you mean.

08:16.000 --> 08:19.000
That's the place up ahead with the ivy on the fire escape.

08:19.000 --> 08:21.000
Groceries getting heavy?

08:21.000 --> 08:23.000
No, no.

08:23.000 --> 08:25.000
I gotta think fast.

08:25.000 --> 08:27.000
It's no good here on the street.

08:27.000 --> 08:29.000
Too many people around.

08:29.000 --> 08:31.000
Like she said, she lives alone.

08:31.000 --> 08:33.000
I have to get inside with her.

08:33.000 --> 08:35.000
Alone in her apartment. Then I can get rid of her.

08:35.000 --> 08:38.000
I wish she'd quit talking. She asks too many questions.

08:38.000 --> 08:41.000
This potato salad stinks. I hate potato salad.

08:41.000 --> 08:44.000
I gotta get inside that apartment.

08:47.000 --> 08:49.000
This is it.

08:49.000 --> 08:53.000
Pretty crummy, huh?

08:53.000 --> 08:55.000
What's it like inside?

08:55.000 --> 08:57.000
Just as bad.

08:57.000 --> 09:00.000
I fixed my apartment up some, but it's the smell these old places have.

09:00.000 --> 09:02.000
Can't get rid of it.

09:02.000 --> 09:04.000
I'd like to see it, see what you've done.

09:04.000 --> 09:06.000
Well, I don't know.

09:06.000 --> 09:09.000
The landlady's funny about visitors and it's kind of late.

09:09.000 --> 09:13.000
Oh, come on. You can't carry all this stuff alone.

09:13.000 --> 09:15.000
After you, Ruth.

09:15.000 --> 09:18.000
Well, okay.

09:18.000 --> 09:22.000
No, you go on up. I have to throw the light switch.

09:22.000 --> 09:24.000
Which way?

09:24.000 --> 09:26.000
Upstairs.

09:26.000 --> 09:28.000
Right. The groceries are getting heavy.

09:28.000 --> 09:31.000
The first door on your right at the top.

09:31.000 --> 09:33.000
You could use more light on this stairway.

09:33.000 --> 09:36.000
That's not all this place could use.

09:38.000 --> 09:40.000
This it?

09:40.000 --> 09:42.000
Yeah. Here, I'll unlock it.

09:42.000 --> 09:46.000
Go ahead.

09:49.000 --> 09:52.000
Well, this is it. Home.

09:52.000 --> 09:55.000
Not bad. You fix it up by yourself?

09:55.000 --> 09:58.000
Yeah. Here, let me take the bag.

09:58.000 --> 10:00.000
Sit down while I put this stuff away.

10:00.000 --> 10:02.000
Sure.

10:03.000 --> 10:07.000
Yeah. You fix this place up okay.

10:08.000 --> 10:10.000
Nice view, too.

10:10.000 --> 10:14.000
Yeah, the L. Goes right past the window.

10:14.000 --> 10:16.000
But you get used to that, too.

10:16.000 --> 10:18.000
You should have seen it when I moved in.

10:18.000 --> 10:20.000
Really a mess.

10:20.000 --> 10:22.000
Then I went to work on...

10:23.000 --> 10:26.000
I thought you were in the other room.

10:26.000 --> 10:28.000
What are you doing?

10:28.000 --> 10:30.000
I got flour on my skirt.

10:30.000 --> 10:32.000
I put some water on for coffee.

10:32.000 --> 10:33.000
Good idea.

10:33.000 --> 10:35.000
Come in the other room, Harry. I want to show you something.

10:35.000 --> 10:36.000
What?

10:36.000 --> 10:37.000
A picture of you.

10:37.000 --> 10:38.000
Of me?

10:38.000 --> 10:40.000
In a football uniform, yet.

10:40.000 --> 10:43.000
I still have our class book. Your picture's in it.

10:43.000 --> 10:44.000
Sit down.

10:44.000 --> 10:46.000
Yeah, sure.

10:46.000 --> 10:48.000
Funny running into you.

10:48.000 --> 10:50.000
I was going through the book a couple of weeks ago,

10:50.000 --> 10:52.000
and I was thinking about you,

10:52.000 --> 10:54.000
wondering whatever became of you.

10:54.000 --> 10:56.000
You were thinking about me?

10:56.000 --> 10:57.000
Uh-huh.

10:57.000 --> 11:01.000
You didn't know it, but I had a big crush on you when we were in school.

11:01.000 --> 11:02.000
No, I didn't know.

11:02.000 --> 11:06.000
I thought I was a big shot in those days. I couldn't see anything.

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
You sure did.

11:10.000 --> 11:13.000
Look, here's a picture of the Fourth of July dance in the gym.

11:13.000 --> 11:14.000
Yeah.

11:14.000 --> 11:15.000
Do you remember it?

11:15.000 --> 11:17.000
Uh, I'm not sure.

11:17.000 --> 11:19.000
You asked me for a dance that day.

11:19.000 --> 11:20.000
I was surprised.

11:20.000 --> 11:24.000
We no more than started, and they stopped the music to take this picture.

11:24.000 --> 11:26.000
You ran off to find Mona Stark.

11:26.000 --> 11:27.000
Mona?

11:27.000 --> 11:29.000
You remember her?

11:29.000 --> 11:31.000
Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember Mona.

11:31.000 --> 11:34.000
You were going with her when you quit school, weren't you?

11:34.000 --> 11:35.000
Yeah.

11:35.000 --> 11:36.000
What happened?

11:36.000 --> 11:37.000
We broke up.

11:37.000 --> 11:38.000
Why?

11:38.000 --> 11:42.000
I borrowed a car from a pal so we could drive up to Connecticut and get married.

11:42.000 --> 11:44.000
It was a big yellow convertible.

11:44.000 --> 11:46.000
I wanted to make a big impression.

11:46.000 --> 11:48.000
Mona liked to be impressed.

11:48.000 --> 11:50.000
Only my pal forgot to tell me it was a stolen car.

11:50.000 --> 11:51.000
What happened?

11:51.000 --> 11:53.000
Never saw her again.

11:53.000 --> 11:56.000
Saw a picture of her, though, on the cover of a secret detective magazine.

11:56.000 --> 11:58.000
She had a gun in one hand, a bottle in the other,

11:58.000 --> 12:01.000
and some guy was choking her. She looked good.

12:01.000 --> 12:05.000
Well, enough of the good old days.

12:06.000 --> 12:09.000
What are you doing now, Harry? For a living, I mean.

12:09.000 --> 12:11.000
Me? Nothing worth talking about.

12:11.000 --> 12:13.000
How do you happen to know Mr. Leibowitz?

12:13.000 --> 12:15.000
Mr. Leibowitz?

12:15.000 --> 12:17.000
He's the sweetest old dear.

12:17.000 --> 12:19.000
He'll take credit right up to his ears.

12:19.000 --> 12:21.000
But people always get around to paying him.

12:21.000 --> 12:24.000
You must know him pretty well to be left in charge of the store.

12:24.000 --> 12:26.000
Well, I...

12:27.000 --> 12:28.000
What's that?

12:28.000 --> 12:31.000
It's the L. It goes right past the window.

12:31.000 --> 12:33.000
It shakes the whole building.

12:44.000 --> 12:46.000
How do you put up with that?

12:46.000 --> 12:48.000
You get used to it. Noisy, huh?

12:48.000 --> 12:50.000
Yeah.

12:50.000 --> 12:53.000
You could fire a cannon in here when it goes by and you wouldn't hear it.

12:53.000 --> 12:55.000
You get used to it.

12:55.000 --> 12:58.000
I think the coffee's ready. Only take a minute.

13:07.000 --> 13:11.000
You could fire a cannon, and I'm only carrying a.38.

13:11.000 --> 13:14.000
Sure, all I have to do is sit and wait.

13:14.000 --> 13:17.000
We'll drink coffee and chat about the good old days.

13:17.000 --> 13:21.000
And when the L goes by again, I'll be able to walk out of here safe and sound.

13:21.000 --> 13:23.000
But nothing to worry about.

13:23.000 --> 13:26.000
Ruthie won't be up to remembering anything.

13:26.000 --> 13:28.000
She'll be dead.

13:44.000 --> 13:48.000
Auto Light is bringing you Dan Durier with Charlotte Lawrence in...

13:48.000 --> 13:50.000
Remember Me?

13:50.000 --> 13:56.000
Tonight's production in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense.

14:06.000 --> 14:09.000
Say, Harlow, how can I get some action around here?

14:09.000 --> 14:14.000
Why, it's simple, Hap. Just get a dandy, dependable and dynamic Auto Light Stay Full battery.

14:14.000 --> 14:18.000
The battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

14:18.000 --> 14:22.000
You'll have instant action. Quick starts for a long, long time.

14:22.000 --> 14:27.000
Because the Auto Light Stay Full battery is protected by fiberglass retaining mats...

14:27.000 --> 14:29.000
to reduce shedding and flaking.

14:29.000 --> 14:33.000
And give longer life as proved by tests conducted according to accepted life cycle standards.

14:33.000 --> 14:36.000
Where do I get this famous battery?

14:36.000 --> 14:39.000
Just visit your neighborhood Auto Light battery dealer.

14:39.000 --> 14:42.000
He's the man whose services all makes of batteries.

14:42.000 --> 14:45.000
To quickly learn his location, just call Western Union by number...

14:45.000 --> 14:50.000
And ask for me, Operator 25. I'll gladly tell you where you can get an Auto Light Stay Full...

14:50.000 --> 14:54.000
the battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

14:54.000 --> 15:00.000
And remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always right with Auto Light.

15:00.000 --> 15:06.000
And now, Auto Light brings back to our Hollywood sound stage Mr. Dan Durier...

15:06.000 --> 15:10.000
in Elliot Lewis's production of Remember Me?

15:10.000 --> 15:16.000
A dramatic report, well calculated to keep you in suspense.

15:26.000 --> 15:30.000
Coffee will be ready in a minute, Harry. I'm not much of a cook.

15:30.000 --> 15:34.000
Let her make coffee. Let her do anything she wants. She's only got a few minutes to live.

15:34.000 --> 15:37.000
Only until the yell goes by again.

15:37.000 --> 15:42.000
Goes by with a big noise so no one can hear the little noise of my 38 going off.

15:42.000 --> 15:46.000
And then Ruthie, who remembers me so well, will be out of the way.

15:46.000 --> 15:50.000
Then I can get out of here safe and sound and nobody knowing anything.

15:50.000 --> 15:54.000
They'll just find two bodies a couple of blocks apart and I'll be miles from here.

15:54.000 --> 15:55.000
You hungry?

15:55.000 --> 15:57.000
All I have to do now is wait for the yell.

15:57.000 --> 15:59.000
Harry, you hungry?

15:59.000 --> 16:00.000
What?

16:00.000 --> 16:02.000
I asked you if you were hungry. I could make you some...

16:02.000 --> 16:05.000
No, no. No thanks. Just the coffee.

16:05.000 --> 16:09.000
Okay. Hot coffee coming up.

16:09.000 --> 16:11.000
Good.

16:12.000 --> 16:13.000
Sugar?

16:13.000 --> 16:14.000
Black.

16:14.000 --> 16:18.000
Here. It's hot.

16:18.000 --> 16:21.000
Yeah. Good.

16:24.000 --> 16:26.000
How long you lived here, Ruthie?

16:26.000 --> 16:28.000
Over a year.

16:28.000 --> 16:31.000
I wouldn't last overnight with the yell going by the window like that.

16:31.000 --> 16:32.000
I'm used to it.

16:32.000 --> 16:34.000
Does it go by often?

16:34.000 --> 16:36.000
Never stops.

16:36.000 --> 16:38.000
I'll warn you the next time I hear it coming.

16:38.000 --> 16:42.000
Yeah. You do that.

16:43.000 --> 16:46.000
Harry Norris. Here in my apartment.

16:46.000 --> 16:47.000
What?

16:47.000 --> 16:49.000
I can't get over running into you like this.

16:49.000 --> 16:52.000
Yeah. Well, you never know.

16:52.000 --> 16:53.000
Are you married, Harry?

16:53.000 --> 16:54.000
No.

16:54.000 --> 16:59.000
Funny. I pictured you married by now and with a family.

16:59.000 --> 17:02.000
But here you are. A little older but about the same.

17:02.000 --> 17:04.000
Yeah. Well, that's the way it goes.

17:04.000 --> 17:06.000
What do you do for a living?

17:06.000 --> 17:10.000
Oh, nothing right now. But I got plans. Big plans.

17:10.000 --> 17:13.000
I'm going to be running a lot of guys around this town someday.

17:13.000 --> 17:15.000
And I'm going to have money. Lots of it.

17:15.000 --> 17:17.000
I don't doubt it.

17:17.000 --> 17:20.000
You say you have plans. Tell me about them, Harry.

17:20.000 --> 17:22.000
What's it to tell? I'm after big money. That's all.

17:22.000 --> 17:26.000
You'll have it. If you're the Harry I remember, you'll get whatever you want.

17:26.000 --> 17:28.000
What do you mean by that?

17:28.000 --> 17:31.000
I remember how you were around school.

17:31.000 --> 17:33.000
When you saw something you wanted, you got it.

17:33.000 --> 17:35.000
Nothing could stop you.

17:35.000 --> 17:38.000
I remember a football game with Astoria High.

17:38.000 --> 17:40.000
You got knocked out and they carried you off the field.

17:40.000 --> 17:44.000
We were losing the game and you came back in all bandaged up and put us ahead.

17:44.000 --> 17:45.000
Yeah.

17:45.000 --> 17:48.000
I was very proud of you.

17:48.000 --> 17:49.000
I thought you were wonderful.

17:49.000 --> 17:53.000
You? But we hardly knew each other.

17:53.000 --> 17:56.000
I knew you. Well.

17:56.000 --> 18:00.000
I waited outside the gym that night to see if you were all right.

18:00.000 --> 18:05.000
I saw you leave and you had a little bandage right there.

18:05.000 --> 18:07.000
Where the tiny scar is now.

18:07.000 --> 18:08.000
Oh. This one?

18:08.000 --> 18:09.000
Uh-huh.

18:09.000 --> 18:13.000
So you waited around to see if I was okay, huh?

18:13.000 --> 18:17.000
Yeah. I even followed you home that night.

18:17.000 --> 18:22.000
I was afraid you might pass out on the street and there would be no one to take care of you.

18:22.000 --> 18:24.000
So I followed you.

18:24.000 --> 18:27.000
I remember that night. But not much of what I did.

18:27.000 --> 18:30.000
Instead of going home you stopped in a pool room.

18:30.000 --> 18:32.000
I waited outside for hours.

18:32.000 --> 18:34.000
You did?

18:34.000 --> 18:36.000
Then it started to snow.

18:36.000 --> 18:38.000
And I went home.

18:38.000 --> 18:41.000
It's funny. I don't remember seeing you.

18:41.000 --> 18:45.000
And yet you were around so much. It's funny.

18:45.000 --> 18:48.000
Well, I was a pretty horrible looking kid then.

18:48.000 --> 18:49.000
Maybe.

18:49.000 --> 18:53.000
There's nothing wrong with you now, Ruthie.

18:53.000 --> 18:56.000
What time is it?

18:56.000 --> 18:58.000
I don't know. The clock's in the bedroom.

18:58.000 --> 18:59.000
Oh.

18:59.000 --> 19:02.000
I wonder how Mrs. Lebowitz is doing.

19:02.000 --> 19:07.000
Mrs. Lebowitz? Oh, oh. You can call in in the morning and find out.

19:07.000 --> 19:09.000
She's been sick a lot lately.

19:09.000 --> 19:12.000
Poor old Mr. Lebowitz has been worried to death about her.

19:12.000 --> 19:13.000
You like the old man.

19:13.000 --> 19:14.000
Sure.

19:14.000 --> 19:18.000
He kept me in groceries for a long time last year while I was looking for work.

19:18.000 --> 19:22.000
And he's done the same for other people in the neighborhood.

19:22.000 --> 19:23.000
What's the matter, Harry?

19:23.000 --> 19:24.000
Nothing's the matter.

19:24.000 --> 19:28.000
Then sit back and relax. You're sitting there like a tiger about to jump on something.

19:28.000 --> 19:30.000
Yeah, sure.

19:34.000 --> 19:37.000
You, um, like living alone like this?

19:37.000 --> 19:38.000
I love it.

19:38.000 --> 19:39.000
Don't you get a little lonesome?

19:39.000 --> 19:41.000
Sometimes.

19:41.000 --> 19:45.000
But I have friends in the neighborhood and we get together and have crazy times.

19:45.000 --> 19:47.000
How come you never got married, Ruth?

19:47.000 --> 19:51.000
Never met the kind of man I'd want to spend the rest of my life with, I guess.

19:51.000 --> 19:54.000
No boyfriends? No one?

19:54.000 --> 19:55.000
It's kind of your fault, Harry.

19:55.000 --> 19:56.000
My fault?

19:56.000 --> 19:58.000
Mm-hmm.

19:58.000 --> 20:02.000
When a girl has a crush on a fella and nothing happens,

20:02.000 --> 20:07.000
she goes on thinking that maybe someday something will happen.

20:07.000 --> 20:13.000
And in the meantime, the other fellas just don't mean much, I guess.

20:13.000 --> 20:19.000
Ruth, I don't get it. Did you feel this way about me?

20:19.000 --> 20:24.000
I did, once, when we were in school.

20:24.000 --> 20:26.000
But I got over it.

20:26.000 --> 20:27.000
Did you?

20:27.000 --> 20:29.000
Sure, I guess.

20:29.000 --> 20:32.000
You're a funny kid. I don't get you.

20:32.000 --> 20:34.000
Forget it, Harry.

20:34.000 --> 20:37.000
Wish I could remember you. What you looked like.

20:37.000 --> 20:40.000
Like I said, I was pretty awful.

20:40.000 --> 20:41.000
What are you looking at?

20:41.000 --> 20:46.000
Your scar. It's no larger than a match head.

20:46.000 --> 20:47.000
Yeah.

20:47.000 --> 20:50.000
I can hardly feel it.

20:50.000 --> 20:56.000
And you have another tiny scar on the side of your nose, right here.

20:56.000 --> 20:58.000
Where'd you get it, Harry?

20:58.000 --> 21:00.000
A fight, I think.

21:00.000 --> 21:02.000
Always a tough guy.

21:02.000 --> 21:06.000
That's why the girls liked you so much. You treated them so rough.

21:06.000 --> 21:07.000
Did I?

21:07.000 --> 21:09.000
And you ignored them most of the time.

21:09.000 --> 21:10.000
Yeah.

21:10.000 --> 21:12.000
The way you're ignoring me right now.

21:12.000 --> 21:13.000
Am I?

21:13.000 --> 21:17.000
Only inches between us, and you ignore me.

21:17.000 --> 21:19.000
Ignore this if you can, Harry.

21:19.000 --> 21:20.000
Lucy.

21:20.000 --> 21:21.000
And this.

21:21.000 --> 21:23.000
Lucy, baby.

21:23.000 --> 21:25.000
Harry.

21:38.000 --> 21:39.000
Honey.

21:39.000 --> 21:41.000
Hmm?

21:41.000 --> 21:43.000
That was the ill that just went by.

21:43.000 --> 21:46.000
I heard it. I heard it.

21:46.000 --> 21:48.000
Now you can relax for another five minutes.

21:48.000 --> 21:50.000
Another five minutes?

21:50.000 --> 21:51.000
Ruthie, I...

21:51.000 --> 21:52.000
What's the matter, Harry?

21:52.000 --> 21:55.000
I don't know. I don't know. I must be going soft in the head.

21:55.000 --> 21:58.000
I came up here to do something. Now I can't.

21:58.000 --> 22:02.000
The things you said, the way you act, you make me feel like I mean something to you.

22:02.000 --> 22:04.000
All the time I didn't know you were alive.

22:04.000 --> 22:08.000
If I really mean anything to you, you'll help me. I need help.

22:08.000 --> 22:11.000
Ruthie, can I trust you?

22:12.000 --> 22:13.000
Ruthie, are you home?

22:13.000 --> 22:14.000
Who's that?

22:14.000 --> 22:15.000
I don't know.

22:15.000 --> 22:17.000
Honey, it's Jimmy.

22:19.000 --> 22:20.000
Ruth.

22:20.000 --> 22:21.000
Jim.

22:21.000 --> 22:22.000
Don't make a sound.

22:22.000 --> 22:23.000
What's going on up there?

22:23.000 --> 22:25.000
Mrs. Dooley, have you seen Ruth?

22:25.000 --> 22:27.000
I heard her come in a while ago. I didn't see her go.

22:27.000 --> 22:29.000
What are you banging on her door for?

22:29.000 --> 22:31.000
She doesn't answer. Do you have a key?

22:31.000 --> 22:33.000
A key? I think so.

22:33.000 --> 22:34.000
Well, get it.

22:34.000 --> 22:38.000
You're so excited about it, maybe she's asleep.

22:38.000 --> 22:41.000
Look, Ruthie, you're going to do as I say or you're going to get hurt.

22:41.000 --> 22:44.000
See this 38? It'll be against your side like this.

22:44.000 --> 22:48.000
Act like you've been asleep and answer that guy and get rid of him, understand?

22:48.000 --> 22:51.000
Okay, I'm taking my hand away from your mouth. Now be careful.

22:51.000 --> 22:55.000
I don't want anybody to know I'm here. Get rid of him.

22:55.000 --> 22:58.000
All right, Harry, I'll get rid of him.

22:58.000 --> 23:00.000
Ruth.

23:00.000 --> 23:03.000
What? What's going on out there?

23:03.000 --> 23:04.000
Ruthie.

23:04.000 --> 23:06.000
Jimmy, is that you?

23:06.000 --> 23:09.000
Yeah. Are you all right?

23:09.000 --> 23:14.000
What do you want? It's late. Of course I'm all right.

23:14.000 --> 23:16.000
Why didn't you answer when I knocked?

23:16.000 --> 23:19.000
I've been asleep. What do you want?

23:19.000 --> 23:24.000
Well, nothing, honey. I was worried about you, that's all.

23:24.000 --> 23:26.000
Worried? About me?

23:26.000 --> 23:29.000
Sure. You said you were going to stop by Old Man Lebowitz,

23:29.000 --> 23:31.000
this place for groceries on your way home.

23:31.000 --> 23:34.000
I did stop there. What about him?

23:34.000 --> 23:37.000
Well, was everything okay?

23:37.000 --> 23:38.000
Tell him yes.

23:38.000 --> 23:42.000
Yes. Everything was all right. Why?

23:42.000 --> 23:45.000
Mr. Lebowitz was held up tonight. He was shot.

23:45.000 --> 23:46.000
Oh.

23:46.000 --> 23:50.000
Mr. Lebowitz came down to the store and found him dead behind the counter.

23:50.000 --> 23:52.000
Ruth.

23:52.000 --> 23:55.000
I... I heard you, Jimmy.

23:55.000 --> 23:59.000
The neighborhood is full of cops. They say it happened less than an hour ago.

23:59.000 --> 24:01.000
You can see why I was so worried.

24:01.000 --> 24:02.000
Get rid of him.

24:02.000 --> 24:05.000
I'm all right, huh? Jimmy.

24:05.000 --> 24:08.000
I'll see you tomorrow.

24:08.000 --> 24:12.000
Okay, sweet. Hey, don't I get a good night kiss?

24:12.000 --> 24:16.000
I'm not dressed.

24:16.000 --> 24:17.000
Good night.

24:17.000 --> 24:19.000
Okay. Good night, honey.

24:19.000 --> 24:23.000
Mrs. Dooley, forget about the keys. She's all right.

24:23.000 --> 24:24.000
You killed him.

24:24.000 --> 24:25.000
I killed him.

24:25.000 --> 24:26.000
You're going to kill me.

24:26.000 --> 24:27.000
I'm going to kill you.

24:27.000 --> 24:30.000
Yes, you have to. I could fix you good with the police.

24:30.000 --> 24:33.000
Yes, you could. You almost got it before, but you got me mixed up a little.

24:33.000 --> 24:35.000
You made me forget what I came up here to do,

24:35.000 --> 24:37.000
trying to make me think you cared about me.

24:37.000 --> 24:38.000
Harry, I did.

24:38.000 --> 24:41.000
Yeah? Does everybody in the building stop by for a good night kiss?

24:41.000 --> 24:42.000
Well, Jimmy's only...

24:42.000 --> 24:43.000
I don't care who he is.

24:43.000 --> 24:46.000
Only, why the routine with me? What were you after?

24:46.000 --> 24:49.000
Harry, why don't you give your husband a kiss?

24:49.000 --> 24:50.000
I don't know.

24:50.000 --> 24:53.000
You killed me. What were you after?

24:53.000 --> 24:55.000
Harry, why don't you give yourself up?

24:55.000 --> 24:58.000
You heard Jimmy. The neighborhood is full of police. You can't get away.

24:58.000 --> 25:01.000
I've been in tighter spots than this. I always get away.

25:06.000 --> 25:07.000
Here it comes, Ruthie.

25:07.000 --> 25:08.000
Harry.

25:08.000 --> 25:09.000
Sorry, baby.

25:09.000 --> 25:10.000
I won't tell anyone, Harry.

25:10.000 --> 25:11.000
Sorry, baby.

25:11.000 --> 25:12.000
Don't kill me.

25:12.000 --> 25:20.000
I'm sorry, baby.

25:32.000 --> 25:36.000
It's all right, miss. It's all right.

25:38.000 --> 25:41.000
Is he dead, officer?

25:41.000 --> 25:47.000
I... I didn't know whether you'd get here in time.

25:47.000 --> 25:50.000
We finally found that trail of flour you left from the store up here.

25:50.000 --> 25:54.000
We hit the door just as the El passed. Close.

25:54.000 --> 25:56.000
I was quick thinking, lady, that trail of flour.

25:56.000 --> 25:58.000
Did you see him shoot the old man?

25:58.000 --> 26:04.000
No. When Harry opened the refrigerator to get some potato salad,

26:04.000 --> 26:09.000
I saw Mr. Leibowitz's legs sprawled out on the floor.

26:09.000 --> 26:14.000
And when he came from behind the collar, he left tracks of blood.

26:14.000 --> 26:21.000
Yeah. Hey, how did you keep him here so long without him killing you?

26:21.000 --> 26:26.000
We had a lot to talk about. I knew Harry a long time ago.

26:26.000 --> 26:29.000
There were things I remembered about him.

26:29.000 --> 26:39.000
But he... but he didn't remember me.

26:39.000 --> 26:44.000
Suspense.
