The Woman in the Window Page #5

Synopsis: Gotham College professor Wanley and his friends become obsessed with the portrait of a woman in the window next to the men's club. Wanley happens to meet the woman while admiring her portrait, and ends up in her apartment for talk and a bit of champagne. Her boyfriend bursts in and misinterprets Wanley's presence, whereupon a scuffle ensues and the boyfriend gets killed. In order to protect his reputation, the professor agrees to dump the body and help cover up the killing, but becomes increasingly suspect as the police uncover more and more clues and a blackmailer begins leaning on the woman.

not during a rush hour,

and drop it overboard.

- And be very careful that you aren't seen.

- The money, too?

You might as well keep it.

I don't see how that can be traced.

- What about the watch?

- Do exactly as I tell you. Please.

Otherwise we might as well

give ourselves up now.

We can't afford to overlook one detail.

We've got to think of everything

in advance.

- Remember that.

- I will.

How about this rug?

There's only a little spot.

I can get that out myself.

Well, do it very thoroughly, will you?

I've read of laboratory tests

that make the fine signs of blood

that the naked eye could never see.

I can clean it.

And the scissors, you better boil them.

Something might be left

on the neck of them.

- All right.

- Is there anything else that we forgot?

His hat.

Help me with the table.

Now, when I leave here, I want you

to go over the whole place thoroughly.

Wash these glasses,

put them back on the shelf.

Get rid of these bottles.

Clean everything thoroughly.

There mustn't be one sign left

that you had any visitor tonight.

Him, me or anybody else.

Give me that paper.

I'll give you the blanket back

as soon as I've got him in the car.

They'll examine it very carefully too.

I'll clean everything. I won't go to bed

until I've cleaned every single place.

Now, put out the lights.

Go out and see.

All clear.

(THUNDER CRACKING)

Thank you.

I won't see you again, I suppose.

For both our sakes, I hope this ends

the whole thing completely and forever.

All right then, goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hey, come back here.

- What was it? A dime?

- Never mind. Here's another.

Well, it couldn't have gone far.

That's all right.

If you find it later, you can have it.

Thanks. Hey, this is a penny.

- Sorry.

- That's okay.

Well, thanks for the dime if I find it.

- Excellent port, that.

- Yes.

- William, check please.

- Yes, sir.

- This is mine tonight.

- Thank you.

Did Frank say what kept him?

Something important, I imagine.

He sounded excited.

Well, I can't quite picture Frank excited.

- Here you are, sir.

- Must have left mine.

Thank you, sir.

- Coffee in the lounge.

- Very well, sir.

He was talking

from the police commissioner's office.

Ah, there he is.

Well, shall we go back?

No, I'm not going to eat now.

I'm gonna have a drink.

- How are you, Richard?

- Fine, thank you. Account for yourself.

FRANK:
Come inside,

you'll be interested in this.

Oh, Collins, get me an Old Fashioned,

will you?

Yes, sir.

- Let's go over here.

- Hot news?

Very.

But confidential for the moment.

Claude Mazard has disappeared.

- Claude Mazard?

- Yes.

MICHAEL:
But how do you

mean disappeared?
