Street of Chance Page #5

I think I'm going to have you picked up

as a material witness.

Fine, get Virginia too.

Here's your beer.

Oh, I see you found the clippings.

I've been saving them for you.

Anything there you haven't seen before?

Yes.

Quite a lot.

Ruth.

You don't believe that

I killed him, do you?

Danny, I wasn't there.

Where were you?

In the bar mixing drinks

for Bill and Alma as usual.

Bill and Alma?

Yes, he was in the sitting room

also as usual.

They swore they heard you

and Diedrich yelling at each other

all the way upstairs.

They couldn't have.

I was in the next room

and I didn't hear anything.

Dan, if only you hadn't run away.

But that was my fault. It was the worst

possible advice.

But I thought...

That I did it?

Dan, it doesn't matter.

I don't care whether you killed him

or not.

Then you will help me?

You don't have to ask me that.

I love you.

I'll help you get away if it's

the last thing I ever do.

You really mean that?

With all my heart.

Danny.

Yes?

Could you hear what Marucci was saying

to me out in the hall?

Yes, some of it.

Why do you look at me like that?

Virginia.

Who? Virginia, yes, I heard that.

Whose apartment were you hiding in?

A friend of mine, I mean a girlfriend of

a friend of mine.

Her name's Virginia.

Oh.

She wasn't there. She was out of town.

He let me use her place.

That's that name over

the doorbell, Virginia Morrison.

Is that all she is to you? Just a

name over a doorbell?

That's all.

All right, Danny.

You ought to have

a good sock in the jaw.

Go ahead, sock me.

Danny, I'd go through

anything for you but...

Never lie to me.

Ruth.

I didn't kill Diedrich.

I couldn't have. I'm not a murderer.

The me that's inside

wouldn't let me kill anyone.

I gotta find out.

How?

I'm going up to New Jericho.

What?

Danny, you're crazy.

Sooner or later the police

are going to catch up with me.

I've got to find out what I can

before they do.

No, I won't let you.

-You're going to help me.

You said a minute ago,

you'd go through anything for me.

All right, prove it.

-But.

But Bill and Alma...

Don't you see they're trying to

pin this on you?

Why?

Well, you know why. Because

they'll inherit everything

if they can keep suspicion

away from themselves.

You mean one of them did it?

I don't know but...

Who else could it have been?

It was only you and me and the cook.

We'll find out whether

they did it or not.

Somewhere in that house

is the right answer.

And I'm going to find it.

We've got to find it.

I've just come from there and tomorrow

is my day off. What'll they say?

You'll have to think up something good.

What trains are there?

One at 9:
25 I think but...
