Phantom Lady Page #3

Yeah, him!

- Was he alone?

Yeah, I think so.

- But there was a woman with me!

You must have seen her!

Hacking for 8 years gives a guy

a memory.

If you was with a woman...

I'd have noticed.

- Thanks, Al.

You sure?

Sure.

There was no dame with this guy

in my cab last night.

Come on, Henderson.

We told...

Mr. Sanders, who are these men?

I must change!

This is Inspector Burgess.

He'd like to talk to you.

Miss Monteiro...

Do remember a woman with this man

last night wearing a hat like yours?

A hat like mine?

Really, this is too funny!

No woman wears hats like mine!

But she did!

And you kept looking at her!

No, no! Go away!

This is insulting!

I'm an artist!

I sing, I dance!

I don't look at my audience!

What woman besides Monteiro could wear

those and not look ridiculous?

See the hat?

- No.

Miss Monteiro is only substantiating

what I've told you...

You're lying!

- No, get him out!

Told you not to get pistachio.

How's yours?

You can never go wrong with vanilla.

Why don't you admit there was no woman

with you last night? - No!

If I did that I'd never be sure of

anything again in my life.

She sat at the bar with me...

She liked a certain tune and played it

on the jukebox.

We walked down 46th Street together!

She was real.

She WAS real!

And now you're trying to tell me

she never existed!

Where to now, Chief?

Some place where we can get him

a drink.

We all need a drink!

Then drive back to headquarters.

You better get some sleep...

and a good lawyer.

Youre gonna need both.

Marcella Henderson met her death

at 3 minutes after 8.

Persecution accepts this as a fact!

The defense claims that Scott Henderson

was with a woman!

At Anselmo's Bar 4 miles from his home

at 5 minutes after 8...

on the night the murder was committed.

Very clever!

The defense also asks you to believe

if he was at the bar at 5 after 8...

that he couldn't have possibly been in

his apartment 2 minutes before...

at the time his wife was murdered.

Again I say, very clever!

But not clever enough!

Witnesses at the same places and at

the same time that Henderson claims...

to have been with this woman,

can recall seeing him...

yet not one of them remembers her!

Where is this woman?

Has any of us seen her?

Has she at any time been on that

witness stand?

No!

Of course not!

Because there is no such woman!

There never was!

Mr. Henderson...

you say you were with this woman

for several hours...

What did you call her?

I just called her "you. "

Can't you tell us anything about her?

Was she a blond, brunette, tall, short

or what?

I don't know! I can't remember! Believe

me, your honor, I'm telling the truth!
