- Sure.

That is if the two bloodhounds

bite each other.

- How about supper later?

- I'd love it.

Well, gentlemen,

we go in 12 minutes.

- Is everyone ready?

- I'm ready.

I am famous for this case.

[Whispering]

The doctor. The doctor's voice.

Well, Doctor and Mr. Chan, we hope

you settle the Rocke case tonight.

The Rocke case?

I thought we were doing the Gradley case.

- I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

- I have no notes on Rocke.

I have.

I'll get them for you.

Mr. Agnew, I will help.

I solved this case years ago.

Old solution, Doctor,

sometimes like ancient egg.

Since I do the interview, I'd like your slant,

Mr. Chanwhat questions to ask.

Joe Rocke unjustly punished

for crime committed by Butcher Dagan.

- Hmm. He sounds like an eyewitness.

- Excuse, please.

I never saw Dagan.

My theory simply based on evidence

already supplied by Dr. Von Brom.

- Oh! [Scoffs]

- How do you mean?

Dagan and McBirney

partners many years ago.

Also partners with Joe Rocke

in honest enterprise.

Rocke honorable man

unaware colleagues were criminals.

Like freak of nature, McBirney

although brutal killer

have almost brotherly affection

for Rocke.

But Dagan true child of Cain

hate him.

To acquire business, he cause Rocke to be

suspected of murder he did not commit.

- An innocent man was hung?

- Brother McBirney had his revenge.

- I read that he killed Dagan.

- He got what was coming to him.

Same believed by many persons.

But electric chair now await McBirney

for more recent crimes.

McBirney ought to get a vote of thanks.

He's got mine.

You knew Dagan?

Oh, no.

I mean, according to your story.

If it's true,

he got what he deserved.

Excuse, please.

May see sore finger?

Oh, it's just a scratch.

I I'll live.

Wound very odd.

And recent.

I caught it on Dr. Cream's desk,

in the office.

Beware of infection.

What a yarn.

Mr. Chan, if you can prove Dagan's guilt

Dagan won't mind.

He's dead.

Justice can be brought to dead men.

Dagan.

[Snaps Fingers]

Ja. It is possible.

Joe Rocke Maybe he's not guilty.

But I proved that once.

And I'll prove something else too.

- Now. Tonight.

- [Buzzing]

Quiet, please.

The studio's checking the trunk line.

[Engineer]

Testing. One, two, three, four.

Testing.

One, two, three, four.

- [Buzzing]

- They're ready downtown. We go in two minutes.

[Man]

I can't help that. I've got business here.

- You can't break in here like this. Get out.

- I've got to see Dr. Cream.

- I'm Dr. Cream. What is it?

- My name is Lane Carter Lane.

Representing Mrs. Rocke.

- Joe Rocke's wife?

- Yes.

- Is she here?

- Why would she come here?

We heard about the broadcast,

and it must not be made.
