What about your new butler? Well he's in his room I suppose... Oh Mrs. Patterson. Yes? Do...
Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Lt. Andy Anderson:
What about your new butler?
Cornelia van Gorder:
Well he's in his room I suppose...
Lt. Andy Anderson:
Oh Mrs. Patterson.
Jane Patterson:
Yes?
Lt. Andy Anderson:
Do you know what happened here tonight?
Jane Patterson:
No sir but I heard the screams, I went to call Warner, we both have rooms on the same floor, but he wasn't in his room. His bed hasn't been slept in.
Lt. Andy Anderson:
If Mrs. Matterson could hear those screams, Warner could certainly hear them.
Warner, the chauffeur:
[stepping into the room]
You're quite right, sir, I heard them.
Lt. Andy Anderson:
Oh you did, and where were you?
Warner, the chauffeur:
Outside on the grounds.
Lt. Andy Anderson:
Miss Holland has been murdered.
Warner, the chauffeur:
No!
Lt. Andy Anderson:
Oh, so you're surprised, shocked... well I've seen better performances... I remember you now, your name's not Warner, I've got a circular in my office with your picture on it. The Chicago police not so long ago were hunting for you in connection with the robbery.
Warner, the chauffeur:
You're right again, sir, they found me and they tried me and I proved my innocence and I was acquitted.
Lt. Andy Anderson:
That could've been a lucky break. WHERE were you when this child was killed?
Warner, the chauffeur:
I was following you. I saw you leaving the house, it seemed you were hunting someone and I thought that you might need some help.
Lt. Andy Anderson:
[scoffs]
Oh!
Warner, the chauffeur:
Oh yes sir, I followed your flashlight down through the trees... then it disappeared. And suddenly as I was staring out into the darkness, I was struck by something on the back of the head. The next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground, I realized I'd been knocked out.
Lt. Andy Anderson:
I wish you had been knocked out, for then we found you with your mask still on your face. You went here in this house, with this poker you were rushing down those stairs after that child...
Warner, the chauffeur:
Oh no sir! You can't pin this on me, I'm not the Bat! I've never killed! I couldn't kill! I won't take the rap for this!

00:00:00.007 --> 00:00:02.421
Miss Van Gorder, Warner has disappeared.
00:00:02.451 --> 00:00:04.558
- Really?
- And Dr. Wells is been murdered.
00:00:05.198 --> 00:00:06.345
Dr. Wells?
00:00:06.611 --> 00:00:08.675
Lieutenant Anderson is
on that case right now.
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.859
Oh, does he know what happened here tonight?
00:00:10.889 --> 00:00:13.001
They got word to him,
he'll be here any minute.
00:00:24.439 --> 00:00:25.984
What's that noise?
00:00:26.865 --> 00:00:30.045
- Miss Van Gorder, the garage is on fire.
- Great scotch, look at that.
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:32.084
Lizzie, put that light out in the other room.
00:00:33.003 --> 00:00:34.216
Now, where are you going?
00:00:34.065 --> 00:00:37.998
- To report the fire.
- Well, you just stay right here.
00:00:37.999 --> 00:00:40.324
- But Miss Van Gorder, the garage?
- Well, let it burn, go watch the stairs.
00:00:40.667 --> 00:00:42.894
Can't you see that fire was
set to get us out of the house.
00:00:42.924 --> 00:00:47.288
- Out of the, you're talking about the...
- Yes, yes, I'm talking about the Bat.
00:00:47.591 --> 00:00:51.001
Now that the lights are out, he'll think
his trick has worked and we've gone.
00:00:51.869 --> 00:00:55.291
- Well, so will Lieutenant Anderson.
- I hope so, but the Bat will be here first.
00:00:55.321 --> 00:00:59.444
And he'll kill again if we're in his
way, we got to be as clever as he is.
00:02:11.001 --> 00:02:14.001
But you'll be safer
downstairs, I'll take care of him.
00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:16.495
Well, the others can go
but I'm going to stay right here.
00:02:16.001 --> 00:02:18.999
All right, but get out of sight.
00:02:45.001 --> 00:02:47.459
Let's face it ladies and get it over with.
00:02:48.999 --> 00:02:52.328
Others have seen my face before they died
but I'll have to deny you that pleasure.
00:02:52.946 --> 00:02:55.001
This would make a good scene
for your book Miss Van Gorder.
00:02:56.172 --> 00:02:58.001
But I'm afraid you'll never write it.
00:03:03.001 --> 00:03:07.998
That is Warner, I could tell.
00:03:10.999 --> 00:03:13.001
- You misjudge me Miss Ellen.
- Warner!
00:03:16.001 --> 00:03:19.999
I don't like being a murder
suspect Miss Van Gorder.
00:03:20.001 --> 00:03:24.876
I was headed for a plane but halfway to the
airport I changed my mind and came back.
00:03:25.001 --> 00:03:27.001
I'm glad that I did.
00:03:40.001 --> 00:03:43.001
Why, it's Lieutenant Anderson!
00:03:49.005 --> 00:03:50.999
Yes, it was Anderson.
00:03:52.987 --> 00:03:55.001
He discovered the secret of the hidden
room and was waiting to get into it...
00:03:56.005 --> 00:03:58.001
and open up the safe.
00:03:58.001 --> 00:04:04.012
We found the money in it, little over a
million in tens and twenties and hundreds.
00:04:07.238 --> 00:04:13.999
Good old Andy, with all his ill
gotten gains invested in bank stock.
00:04:14.001 --> 00:04:17.999
It's rather a clever
way to hide stolen money...
00:04:18.015 --> 00:04:22.002
in the open, as it were and so respectable.
00:04:24.998 --> 00:04:25.002
But don't try it.
00:04:26.998 --> 00:04:33.999
No matter how clever you
are, you can't hide murder.
00:04:40.483 --> 00:04:43.998
Well, that's it Dale.
00:04:44.999 --> 00:04:46.037
That's the end.
