We kept walking and we turned off. 19:33.840 --> 19:35.840 We walked for a long time. 19:35.840 --> 19:37.840 Were you anywhere near the freight yards when you killed her? Can you remember that? 19:37.840 --> 19:40.840 No, I don't know. Like a nightmare. There's so much of it. I guess I don't want to remember it. 19:40.840 --> 19:44.840 And what's the last location you can recall Gordon? I mean before you found yourself in the freight yards. 19:44.840 --> 19:46.840 Olympic Boulevard I think. Someplace on Olympic. 19:46.840 --> 19:48.840 Kept walking and walking. I don't remember why. 19:48.840 --> 19:51.840 You remember packing your suitcases before you left the boarding house? 19:51.840 --> 19:54.840 Packing? Yeah I think I do. Elizabeth and I talked about going away for a few days. 19:54.840 --> 19:57.840 Someplace out of town. I think we're going to go tomorrow. 19:57.840 --> 19:59.840 They checked both your rooms Gordon.

Can you explain that? 20:05.840 --> 20:07.840 I don't know. Maybe she didn't have time. Hadn't gotten around to it. 20:07.840 --> 20:09.840 I guess you found the poison too. 20:09.840 --> 20:13.840 That's right. I got it two days ago. We thought about it. We even wrote a letter explaining why we do it. 20:13.840 --> 20:16.840 Yeah. We didn't have the courage though. Neither one of us. 20:16.840 --> 20:18.840 Talked about it and decided to forget it. 20:18.840 --> 20:21.840 I've told you everything.

It's not in his right mind Sergeant. I know he isn't. 21:11.840 --> 21:15.840 Please Gordon you have to let us help you. I called dad before I left. 21:15.840 --> 21:18.840 He's on his way here now. We'll get you a lawyer. 21:18.840 --> 21:20.840 Don't worry honey. It'll be alright. Everything will be alright. 21:20.840 --> 21:22.840 She's dead. Can you bring her back? 21:22.840 --> 21:24.840 You couldn't have killed her. Couldn't have. 21:24.840 --> 21:27.840 Pounding her. Torturing her. Why couldn't you let her alone? Why couldn't you let us alone? 21:27.840 --> 21:30.840 We only did it for you Gordon and we thought it was best for you. 21:30.840 --> 21:34.840 You fool. You fool. Say anything you want Gordon.

We only want to help. 21:48.840 --> 21:52.840 Who's in charge here? My name is Friday Mr. Miller. This is my partner Sergeant Smith. 21:52.840 --> 21:54.840 The handcuffs on my son. Gordon who did it? He put them on you. 21:54.840 --> 21:57.840 I did Mr. Miller. The only way we could settle him down. 21:57.840 --> 22:01.840 Taking quite a bit of authority in your hands aren't you? Get them off of him right now. No reason to handcuff him. 22:01.840 --> 22:02.840 Sorry. Can't be done. 22:02.840 --> 22:08.840 I said take them off. I have a little influence in this town. I'll see to it that the police commission hears about this. 22:08.840 --> 22:09.840 Now what's my son doing here anyway? 22:09.840 --> 22:12.840 The Hoffman woman dad. Elizabeth Hoffman. 22:12.840 --> 22:16.840 What about her? She's dead. Gordon says he killed her dad. We've got to do something. 22:16.840 --> 22:19.840 Don't tell him anything Gordon. Don't say a thing. I'll get a lawyer for you right away. 22:19.840 --> 22:21.840 I know what your rights are. Don't tell him anything. 22:21.840 --> 22:23.840 Did you know Elizabeth Hoffman Mr. Miller? 22:23.840 --> 22:27.840 I knew her slightly. Can't see what this fuss is all about anyway. 22:27.840 --> 22:29.840 Woman wasn't any good to begin with. No good at all. 22:29.840 --> 22:33.840 You ought to be glad I'm handcuffed at this chair. I never thought of hitting you before. I'd like to do it now. 22:33.840 --> 22:35.840 Please Gordon don't say those things. 22:35.840 --> 22:37.840 As far as I can remember you've been nothing but trouble. 22:37.840 --> 22:41.840 Now either you snap out of it this time or you're on your own. I'm sick of this. 22:41.840 --> 22:43.840 Police stations, trampy women keeping you out of jail. 22:43.840 --> 22:46.840 Either you start to realize who's boss in this family or there's going to be real trouble. 22:46.840 --> 22:48.840 You'll find yourself out in the cold. You'll stay there. 22:48.840 --> 22:50.840 Get him out of here. Get him out of my cell. 22:50.840 --> 22:53.840 Please dad he's not well. Try and understand. 22:53.840 --> 22:55.840 Enough Gordon. I'll send a lawyer for you. That's all I'll do. 22:55.840 --> 22:58.840 If you make up your mind I'm boss you can come home. If not you can stay away. 22:58.840 --> 23:00.840 Now figure it out for yourself. I don't care. 23:00.840 --> 23:02.840 I hate you. I hope you ever forget it. I hate you. 23:02.840 --> 23:03.840 Dad. 23:03.840 --> 23:06.840 I'll see you at home Lillian. It's the maid's night out. 23:06.840 --> 23:08.840 Lock the door before you go to bed. 23:08.840 --> 23:11.840 Please dad we've got to help. Don't leave dad. 23:13.840 --> 23:16.840 God. God. God. 23:16.840 --> 23:17.840 Sergeant. 23:17.840 --> 23:20.840 You know. Will you lock me up now? I'm tired. 23:20.840 --> 23:23.840 Alright Gordon just a minute. Frank you want to stay with him. 23:23.840 --> 23:24.840 Yeah okay. 23:24.840 --> 23:27.840 Miss Miller you might step outside for a minute. There's something I'd like to ask you. 23:27.840 --> 23:30.840 Yes alright. You'll let me see Gordon again? 23:30.840 --> 23:32.840 Yes ma'am. Come on this way. 23:36.840 --> 23:41.840 Now look. About this Elizabeth Hoffman Miss Miller. Did you know her at all? 23:41.840 --> 23:44.840 I tried to talk to her. I even offered her money if she'd let Gordon alone. 23:44.840 --> 23:47.840 It wasn't any news. She'd been drinking. She wouldn't even listen. 23:47.840 --> 23:49.840 I kept saying she was going to marry Gordon. 23:49.840 --> 23:52.840 What's the big attraction do you know I mean between your brother and that woman? 23:52.840 --> 23:54.840 There's only one thing Gordon ever really wanted. 23:54.840 --> 23:57.840 He wasn't too interested in women. Things like that. 23:57.840 --> 24:01.840 All he wanted was to be a musician. A great pianist. That's all he ever wanted. 24:01.840 --> 24:06.840 The sad part about it is he'll never make it. I think down deep he knows that. 24:06.840 --> 24:08.840 When he was a kid dad sent him to the finest teachers. 24:08.840 --> 24:10.840 After six months they all said the same thing. 24:10.840 --> 24:11.840 Yes ma'am. 24:11.840 --> 24:15.840 He'd never make it. We could play well enough but he certainly wasn't exceptional. 24:15.840 --> 24:17.840 He never improved. He just stayed the same. 24:17.840 --> 24:19.840 He started taking lessons from Elizabeth. 24:19.840 --> 24:21.840 She convinced him he had a great talent. 24:21.840 --> 24:24.840 Kept telling him she'd make a great pianist out of him. 24:24.840 --> 24:28.840 The last three years she kept promising to take him on a tour. Europe, South America. 24:28.840 --> 24:32.840 It never happened. I think Gordon knew it never could happen. 24:32.840 --> 24:35.840 I see. Can you think of any reason at all why he'd want to kill her? 24:35.840 --> 24:37.840 There isn't any reason. None at all. Gordon didn't kill her. 24:37.840 --> 24:39.840 He couldn't kill anybody. He didn't kill her. 24:39.840 --> 24:41.840 I'm sure of it. 24:41.840 --> 24:44.840 I hope you're right Miss Miller. For your brother's sake. 24:44.840 --> 24:46.840 Would you excuse me for a few minutes please? 24:46.840 --> 24:47.840 Yes. All right. 24:47.840 --> 24:49.840 You wait here. You sit down if you want to. I'll be right back. 24:49.840 --> 24:50.840 All right. 24:53.840 --> 24:54.840 All set Joe? 24:54.840 --> 24:55.840 Yeah. In a minute. 24:56.840 --> 24:57.840 Gordon, you ready to go? 24:57.840 --> 25:01.840 I'd like to ask you one more question son. I'd like to have you tell me the truth on this one. 25:01.840 --> 25:02.840 Yeah? 25:02.840 --> 25:04.840 What did you have in common with Elizabeth Hoffman? 25:04.840 --> 25:07.840 She was twice as old as you are. You gave up a lot for her. 25:07.840 --> 25:10.840 She didn't have any money. She was an alcoholic. What was the big attraction? 25:10.840 --> 25:12.840 Why did I love Elizabeth? Is that what you mean? 25:12.840 --> 25:13.840 Yeah, that's right. 25:13.840 --> 25:16.840 You tell me Sergeant. Why do you love any woman? Why? 25:16.840 --> 25:20.840 Because you need them. You need them. You can't be alone. Nobody can be alone. 25:20.840 --> 25:22.840 I needed Elizabeth. That's why I loved her. 25:22.840 --> 25:25.840 There's only been two women in the world who understood me. 25:25.840 --> 25:28.840 One of them was Elizabeth. The other one was my mother. 25:28.840 --> 25:31.840 She died when I was 12. Now they're both dead. Both of them. 25:31.840 --> 25:33.840 Only ones who understood. 25:33.840 --> 25:34.840 Yeah. 25:34.840 --> 25:36.840 My father didn't understand. He never did. 25:36.840 --> 25:39.840 All he knows is business. Making money. More money. 25:39.840 --> 25:42.840 That's why he hated Elizabeth. He was jealous. She understood me. 25:42.840 --> 25:44.840 She knew what I was like. Knew all about me. 25:44.840 --> 25:47.840 When I was with Elizabeth, I was safe. I was happy close to her. 25:47.840 --> 25:49.840 There wasn't anything to be afraid of. 25:49.840 --> 25:53.840 I'd go to her just like my mother. I'd put my head on her shoulder and she'd put her arms around me. 25:53.840 --> 25:56.840 I wasn't frightened anymore. I was safe. 25:56.840 --> 25:59.840 Everything was alright. Just like when I was a little kid in the night. 25:59.840 --> 26:01.840 I'd call out for my mother. She was always there. 26:01.840 --> 26:04.840 She'd put her arms around me and everything was safe. 26:04.840 --> 26:08.840 I wasn't afraid. I needed her. It was the same way I needed Elizabeth. 26:08.840 --> 26:10.840 Do you understand now? 26:10.840 --> 26:12.840 Now do you know why I loved her? 26:12.840 --> 26:15.840 Yeah. I think I do. Only one question left. Why did you kill her? 26:15.840 --> 26:18.840 I don't know. I really don't. Maybe I'll remember. 26:18.840 --> 26:21.840 Look, Gordon. Are you sure you killed her? 26:21.840 --> 26:24.840 If she died in my arms, I must have killed her. 26:24.840 --> 26:27.840 Tomorrow maybe.
