 Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theater, starring Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotton in Notorious. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keely. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. With the collapse of Nazi Germany after World War II, it was commonly believed that many of Hitler's more fanatic followers escaped to the Western Hemisphere to pursue their relentless plotting for world domination. Our play tonight, while purely fictional, is a sample of how these isolated groups may operate and how they may be brought to justice. It's Alfred Hitchcock's thrilling hit, Notorious, produced by RKO, and stars its original leading lady, Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotton, two of Hollywood's leading performers. Notorious might take place in any city, but actually we find ourselves in teeming and exotic Rio de Janeiro, one of the most exciting cities of the new world. I have an airman letter from a friend of ours who made a flying visit to Rio and reports, while shopping in the fashionable Copacabana section, I purchased several exquisite examples of Brazilian lace. Imagine my surprise when I examine them to discover each piece labeled, Wash Only in Lux. Fortunately, Lux Flakes are available at almost every store in Rio. So, were we to stay here longer, I'd have little trouble following such sensible advice. Well, for that message from Rio de Janeiro, all our thanks. As we take you shortly to that colorful metropolis with Act I of Notorious, starring Ingrid Bergman as Alicia Uberman and Joseph Cotton in the role of Devlin. It's the height of the tourist season in Miami, Florida, and the passengers of a plane from New York have hastened to their hotels, all save one, a Mr. Devlin, who has gone directly to a building owned by the United States government. They're in an obscure and private office. Last Thursday, John Huberman Trater was sentenced to 20 years in the federal penitentiary. So I heard Prescott. Congratulations. Oh, thanks, Devlin, but I didn't drag you down here to pat me on the back. Huberman has a daughter here in Miami. Oh? Well, she was in no way involved with her father or with any of the other Nazi agents who worked against us during the war. I believe she can be of great help to us now. That's what I want you to find out. You've approached her? Not yet, but we know a great deal about her. Oh, here's her photograph. Alicia Uberman. Tractive? Very, and something of a problem. Miss Huberman is not what our mothers would have called a nice girl. Out every night, drinks a lot, gets arrested once a week for reckless driving. But whatever she may be, we think she's still a good American. I have made arrangements for you to meet her tomorrow night. That should be pleasant. Yes. Tomorrow night, Alicia Uberman is throwing a party. If it's her customary party, it will be loud, long, and alcoholic. On Sunday, she plans to leave on a cruise with friends. I want you to find out if she'll go to work for us instead. In South America. South America? Yes, Rio de Janeiro. Well, here's the whole file on Miss Uberman. Look it over and then start asking questions. Do this often, Miss Uberman, leave your party, go for rides at two in the morning. I thought you invited me to take a ride. Didn't make you think so? Don't you think I'd better drive? No. No, I thought that was understood. But do you think I'm drunk, sir? Oh, no. You know something, Miss... Devlin. Devlin, Devlin. How'd you get to my party? The Hopkins, remember? No. No, I don't remember. Anyway, you were saying... Anyway, I like you. You're quite a boy, aren't you? Oh, terrific. How am I doing? 80 miles an hour. Oh, you can stop grinning. I don't like gentlemen who's a grin at. I was really grinning at the man in the mirror. What mirror? What man? A man on a motorcycle. We're being pursued. Cops. Oh, they make me sick. I'm glad you're stopping. I think this cop wants to talk to you. Oh, am I drunk? If I am, I go to jail. All my whole family in jail cares. Having a time for yourself, aren't you? You know, people like you ought to be in bed. And drinking, huh? Just a minute, officer. No arguments, mister. Yeah. What's your license for? She was at the wheel. This isn't a driver's license. Huh? Sorry. Okay. Sure you can handle it? I think so. Well, you ought to know. Night. Night. Oh, wait. That cop, he saluted you. Did he? Why? You double-crossing. You're a cop yourself. We'll argue about that later. Right now, I'm taking you home. Get out of my car. Now, look. You're not taking me anywhere. Move over. I'll drive. Get out of... Get your hands off me, crashing my car. You're a federal cop, aren't you? I said move over. Leave me alone. You're trying to get something on me. You've got to calm down. Get out! Get out! I'm sorry, Miss Huberman. First time this week, I've sucked a lady. Feeling any better? Oh, what do you care how I feel? You cop. It's eight o'clock. Oh. Your other guest left about three hours ago. Oh, I want a refill for that ice bag. But what's all this about? What's your angle? What angle? Why did you crash my party? Wanted to meet you. Oh, so you could frame me? I've got a job for you. Don't tell me there's only one job that you coppers would want me for, but I'm not a stool pigeon, Mr. Devin. My department has authorized me to offer you a job in Brazil. Oh, go away. Some of the German gentry whom your father once worked for in Rio now, busy as little bees. I'm not interested. We're working with the Brazilian government to smoke them out. My chief thinks that the daughter of a... Of a traitor. Well, he thinks you could be valuable to us and you could make up a little of your dad's peculiarities. Why should I? Patriotism. Patriotism. Waving the flag in one hand and picking pockets with the other? That's your patriotism and you can have it. What do you have? My own life. Go away and leave me alone. Your own life? What's that? Good times and laughs with people I like. No underhanded cops want to set me up in a shooting gallery. People of my own kind will treat me right and like me and understand me. I like Mr. Hopkins. What about Mr. Hopkins? Just phone. I said to remind you, as yacht sales at noon, they're all calling for you at 11. Oh, then why don't you get out of here? The plan to Rio leaves tomorrow morning. Then you must drop me a postcard, Mr. Devlin. Rio must be beautiful this time around. We're coming into Rio, Mr. Huberman. Well? Well what? When are you going to ask me why I changed my mind? Why I took a plane instead of a yacht? Well, you're here, aren't you? As soon as we land, we'll look up Mr. Prescott. Who's Mr. Prescott? Our boss. Mr. Huberman. Just now, when I was talking to the pilot... He told you we were coming into Rio. He told me something else. A message came in over the radio. The father. What about my father? He... He committed suicide this morning in his cell. Oh. I'm sorry. But I don't know why I should care. But I do. When I found out about my father a few years ago, who he was, what he was doing. Everything went to pot. I didn't care what happened to me. But now, I suddenly remember how nice he once was. How nice we both once were. Anything I can do? No. No. It's a very curious feeling. As if something had happened to me, not to him. You see, I don't have to hate my father anymore. Or myself. How do you like the apartment Mr. Prescott found for me? Very attractive. Will I be staying here? I wish I could tell you, I don't know. Well, will you know? Soon, I think. Prescott's meeting now with the Brazilian intelligence. Oh, so you fixed dinner, huh? Have time for another drink? Thanks, I've had enough. Well, aren't you impressed and practically on the wagon? Oh, it's a phase. You don't think a woman can change? Sure. Change is fun for a while. For a while. For ten days now, and as far as I know, you've made no new kind quest. Well, that's something, isn't it? Ten days. Practically whitewash. What a rat you are. I'm very happy, Dev. Why won't you let me be her? Nobody's stopping you. Why don't you give that copper's brain of yours a rest? Every time you look at me, it tells you, no, no, no, stay away from her, it says. She's no good. She never will be. Alicia. Go on, Dev. Go on. You can take my hand. I want black nail you for it afterwards. Thanks. You are afraid. Afraid you're falling in love with me? That wouldn't be hard to do. Oh, no, no, no. Careful, Dev. Be careful. You enjoy making fun of me, don't you? No. I'm making fun of myself. I'm pretending I'm a very nice, unspoiled child. His heart is full of daisies and buttercups. It's a nice daydream. Then what? I think I would have another drink. Yeah. Thought you'd get around to it. Why won't you believe in me, Dev? Just a little. Why won't you? How do you know I don't? I know because you're sore. You've fallen for me and you don't like it, no? People will laugh at you. Poor Dev. Poor Dev. In love with a no good girl, huh? It must be awful. Come here. Hey. Don't say anything, Dev. Just kiss me. Don't say anything. What are you, Devlin? Something wrong? Wrong? No, no. Nothing's wrong, Preston. I, uh, I'm sorry I had to send for you. I'm sorry I interrupted your date with Miss Huberman there. Well, here's the setup. Okayed by Brazilian intelligence. The leader of the German agents here in Rio is a man named Alex Sebastian. Well, if we know who he is, why can't we pick him up? Oh, sure. Sure we could pick him up. The next day someone else takes his place and whatever it is they're working on continues. Their headquarters is Sebastian's home. We need somebody to get inside that house. Somebody in Sebastian's confidence. In other words, Alicia Huberman. Right. He said you were having dinner with her when I called. I'll go back to her apartment then and tell her. She's good at making friends with gentlemen, so... That's meant to be funny. The devil's eating you. I, I don't know if she'll do it. You haven't even discussed it. No, but I don't think she's that type of woman. She's never been trained for that kind of work. They'll see through her. Miss Huberman was chosen for two reasons. One, her father was a Nazi agent. Two, Sebastian once knew her in Washington. Sebastian knew her? Yes, he was in love with her. Well, I didn't know that. Well, you know it now. You've got to get Miss Huberman inside his house and find out what's going on there. How, uh, how does she meet him? Well, I think the riding club would be best. Sebastian rides every morning. The rest is up to you and Miss Huberman. You've hardly said a word, Deb. My cooking isn't that bad. It's a little well done maybe, but still... I'm sorry I was so late getting back. Prescott, uh... What's the matter, Deb? Trouble? In a way. All this secret is going to ruin my little dinner. Come on, Hanson. What is darkening your brow? Ah, later. No, no, no, now. Look, I'll make it easy for you. The time has come when you must tell me that you have a wife and two adorable children, and this madness between us can go on no longer. Bet you've heard that line often enough. Oh, that wasn't fair, Deb. Then skip it. You remember a man named Sebastian? Alex Sebastian? Yes. He's one of my father's friends. I had quite a crush on you. Oh, I wasn't very responsive. Well, he's in town, part of the combine that built up the German war machine. He hopes to keep on going. Something big. All the ear marks. We'll have to contact him. Come on, let's have all of it. We're meeting him tomorrow morning and you're going to go to work on him. Not a hurry. She makes love for the secret papers. Prescott's orders? Yes. Did you say anything? Maybe I wasn't the right girl for such renaissance? No. I forget that was up to you if... if you carried her back out. I suppose you told him that Alicia Huberman will have this Sebastian eating out of her hand in a couple of weeks. She's so good at that. Always was. I didn't say anything. Not a word? For that little lovesick lady who cooked dinner for you? I told you that's the assignment. Don't get cross, Deb. I'm only fishing for a little bird call from my dream man. One little remark such as how dare you suggest that Alicia Huberman don't you, Miss Huberman, be submitted to so ugly a fate? That's not funny either. Oh, doc. What you didn't tell Prescott, tell me that you believe I'm nice and that I love you and that I'll never change back. I'm waiting for your answer. What a little tal you are. Never deleting you. Not a word of fate. Just down the drain with Alicia. That's where she belongs. Oh, Deb. Pour me a drink and tell me what I do for Uncle Sam. We'll meet Sebastian on the bridal path. When he questions you about me, I'm with Pan American Airways Public Refinations. Anything else? Happen to meet you on the plane for Miami. The less the tale, the better. That's all. That's all. My beautiful dinner. Cold. Cold size. I can't get over it, Alicia. Meeting you this morning from all places of bridal path in Rio de Janeiro. How do you know I wasn't looking for your house? Oh, if I could only believe that. You should. Didn't I prevail upon you to take me to dinner? Prevail. You look very well, Alex. After four years here, dullness and disintegration. You look younger than you did in Washington. It's entirely due to your presence, Alicia. You always affected me like a tongue. Who are you looking at, my dear? That man who just came in. Do you know him? I don't think I do. His name is Prescott. The American embassy is loaded with him. Really? They bothered you since you came here? No, no, not yet. That's one reason I left Miami to get away from their snooping. I wondered why you left your father. He insisted, Alex. He was so unselfish. He kept begging me to leave. I had no idea he was going to die. Many have died, Alicia. We mustn't let our spirit die with him. Perhaps I can help you forget. Oh, Alex. There's someone else, of course. Is there? Who, Alicia? That Mr. Devlin who was with you this morning? Mr. Devlin doesn't interest me in the least. I've just been so lonely. I could have gone riding this morning with Peter Rabbit. You will let me help your loneliness? Oh, you're very sweet to forget. What a brat I was once. Well, then I'll test your repentance immediately. Will you have dinner with me again tomorrow night? My mother's giving a little party at home. Oh, Alex, how nice. Are you sure you're... She won't mind an extra guest? An old friend is never an extra guest. Thank you, Alex. Very beautiful, Miss Huberman. Don't you agree, Devlin? Sebastian is sending his car from Miss Huberman. I suggest we get out of her apartment. Oh, there's time. Now part of your job tonight, Miss Huberman, will be to get the names of all the men you see in Sebastian's house. You mean the Germans? That won't be difficult. Don't underestimate them. They're a very keen and desperate bunch. Anything else? No, nothing. Good luck. Thank you. Oh, unless you have something urgent to report, we'd better avoid each other the next few days, just in case Sebastian's crowd wants to check on you after the night. Very well. And don't meet here when you do. What about the racetrack, Devlin? The racetrack's fine. We can arrange a date by phone. Miss Huberman, well, well, good afternoon. Mr. Devlin, how nice seeing you again. Picking any winners? You alone? No. Alex and his mother. Where? A box in the clubhouse. I'm sure they can see us. Play it safe and keep smiling. Well... I've seen Alex twice since the dinner at his house. Who was there? His mother, her servant named Joseph, and four other men, William Rossner, Eric Matisse, Emil Hupke, and the professor Anders. Good luck. Have you ever heard of Andersen? No. He's some kind of scientist, medium-high, gentle face, 60 years old, grey hair, deep crease in his forehead. You writing this down? Oh, I'm just trying to check these horses on my program. Look happy, will you? What about Emil Hupke? Have you heard of him? No. He made quite a scene at the dinner about a bottle of wine. A bottle of wine? Yes, it was on the buffet. Hupke became quite excited. He said it should be removed at once. What happened? They just ignored him and kept this conversation going. Hupke seemed quite flustered. Apologetic. I couldn't figure it out. Did they serve the wine? No, not that particular bottle. Do you think it had any significance? I don't know. I don't know. What brand was it? All I saw of the label was vintage 1939 and 1934. Has Hupke pulled anything since? I haven't seen him since. What else? Just a minor item you may want for the record. Well? You can add Sebastian's name to my list of playmates. Oh, pretty fast work. That's what you wanted, wasn't it? His mother suspects me. What? Oh, don't worry. She believes I'm after her son's money. You betting on this race, Mr. Devlin? They're about to start. No. Alex says number 10 is sure to win. Oh, I can't help recalling some of your remarks about being a new woman. Daisy's and Buttercup's wasn't it? What are you angry about? You knew very well what I was doing. Did I? You could have stopped me with one word until you threw me at it. I threw it during nobody. Keep your eyes on the race. Use your binoculars. Didn't you tell me to go ahead? A man doesn't tell a woman what to do. A woman tells herself. She almost had me believing in that little hokey pokey miracle of yours that a woman like you could change her spot. But you were wrong. That's why I didn't try to stop you. The answer had to come from you. I see some kind of luck. That's right. But you never believed in me, and it was what's the difference? Yeah. That goes to number 10. What if I had believed in you? What if I had figured that you could never go through with a chispen made over by love? You're the only one that said that that you locked me out. Listen. You've chalked up another boyfriend. That's all. No harm done. I hate you. No occasion to. If you're doing fine work, I'll see that they're told. Oh. We're having a meeting tomorrow with Barbosa, with William Intelligence. In case you're interested, number 10 is winning the race. Sebastian knows how to pick him. That's all it got to say. Oh, dry your eyes, baby. It's out of character. And be quick about it. Here comes Dreambolt. Oh. Mr. Devlin. Sebastian. Oh, Alex. What a wonderful race. Alicia tells me you had a bet on that. Number 10. Sorry I didn't meet you early, Alicia. Well, I'll see you soon, I hope. Yes. What's the matter, Alex? You're not at all excited about the race? I didn't see the race. I was watching you and Mr. Devlin. You had an appointment to meet him here? Oh, don't be absurd. I just happened to bump into him. You didn't appear anxious to get away. I watched you. I thought maybe you're in love with him. Alex, really, I did test him. I'd like to be convinced. Would you maybe care to convince me, Alicia? Well, if you know Mr. Devlin, Senor Barbosa, and this is Mr. Beardsley also of our office, Senor Barbosa, Brazilian Intelligence. Sit down, gentlemen. Well, our little theatrical plan is working, Senor. Good. Thanks to Miss Huberman, we know that Otto Rensler is working here in Rio. He was one of Hitler's scientific wizards, now known as Professor Anderson. And that body found in the surf two days ago. Yes, identify. His description fits Emil Hucka, one of the boys who must have said the right thing at the wrong time. I'd still like to know about that wine bottle. Excuse me, Senor. Uh, yes. Miss Huberman has seen Mr. Prescott and Mr. Devlin. Here? Yes, sir. Show her in. I don't like this of coming here. She's had me worried for some time, a woman of that sort. What sort is that, Mr. Beardsley? Oh, I don't think any of us have any illusions about Miss Huberman, have we, Devlin? Not the slightest. Miss Huberman is first, last, and always not a lady. She may be risking her life, but when it comes to being a lady, she doesn't hold a candle to your wife, sir, sitting in Washington playing bridge with three other ladies of great and impeachable honor. Take it easy, Dev. Sorry. I think those remarks about my wife are on call for her. Don't, I apologize. Oh, come in, Miss Huberman. Mr. Beardsley, Senor Barbosa. How do you do? Senorita, you have the esteem of my garden. We're worried about your visiting this office. I promise not to break the rules again, but I need advice. I couldn't find Mr. Beardsley. Something happened? Yes. Mr. Sebastian has asked me to marry him. Well, well. I'm to give him my answer at lunch. I didn't know what the department might think about such a move. You're willing to go that far for us, Miss Huberman? Yes. If you wish. Devlin, may I ask what inspired Sebastian to go this far? He's in love with me. And he thinks you're in love with him? Yes. That's what he thinks. Yes. It is the cream of the jest. Then, then it is all right? Oh, it's an ideal marriage for us. Yes. Everything seems to be arranged perfectly. I don't think you need me here any longer, Prescott. Oh, no, but we... Oh, excuse me then. Oh, congratulations, Alicia. Thank you, Dev. I knew you'd be impressed. In a moment, we will return with Act II of Notorious. Meanwhile, here's Libby Collins, our Hollywood reporter. I look for you last Monday evening, Libby, at the Metro Golden Mare premiere of Cast Timberlaine. Oh, I was there, Mr. Keely. But I don't wonder you didn't see me in those crowds. It certainly was an exciting opening. It looked as if practically every star in Hollywood turned out to see the screen version of Sinclair Lewis' powerful novel. You know, it seemed just as dramatic the second time, even though I'd seen a preview at the studio. Spencer Tracy is marvelous in the title role. Lana Turner for romantic interest, who, hell, I just couldn't miss. The triangular love story is always a great theme. Especially when Zachary Scott is the rival for Lana Turner's love. A perfect cast and a gripping play like that is every producer's dream. And every feminine moviegoer will envy Lana Turner when, as Ginny in Cast Timberlaine, she goes on a shopping spree in New York. She buys herself an expensive glamour wardrobe, including some wonderfully wispy nylon stockings. I said to myself, if John Kennedy here had been technical adviser, he would have included a shot of her buying Lux Plates to take care of them. Well, Libby, it's highly improbable that Sinclair Lewis heroin did. Because smart women everywhere know that Lux makes stockings last long. Well, as a matter of fact, I know that the studio kept those stockings lovely and new for retakes by washing them with Lux Plates after every wearing. A wise procedure for women everywhere. Because tests show that stockings actually last twice as long when they're washed with Lux. It was really surprising how quickly identical stockings washed with a strong soap or rubbed with cake soap went into runs. The Lux ones kept going twice as long, and the colors looked so much fresher too. That extra wear is just like getting an extra pair of stockings every time you buy a pair. That's why Lux Plates are America's favorite stocking care. We'll return you now to William Keely. Continuing with Act Two of Notorious, starring Ingrid Bergman as Alicia and Joseph Cotton as Devlin. A few hours have passed. Elated by Alicia's consent to marry him, Alex Sebastian has just brought the news to his mother. Marry her? What are you, a moon-struck boy? Of course she is beautiful, but... But what? But many things, her sympathies, for instance. I've told you a dozen times, mother. Alicia does not concern herself with politics. At her father's trial, why did she not testify on his behalf? Because her father insisted she be kept clear of it. So she says. Are you accusing Alicia of lying? I accuse only you, thinking of marriage at a time like this, risking everything we have worked for, suffered for. Alicia knows nothing, she will know nothing. But I know. Know what? That she came here for one purpose, to capture the rich Alex Sebastian for her husband. And she has to... Oh, you're being absurd. We will discuss it more fully tonight. We will not discuss it tonight. You're jealous, just as you've always been jealous of any woman I've been interested in. Now, Alicia and I shall be married next week. Be private. We shall both be pleased to have you present, if you wish. Come in, Joseph. Did you want something? Only to tell you how happy I am that you and Mr. Sebastian are home again. The house needs you, madam. Thank you. You had a pleasant wedding trip? Very. As long as you're here, Joseph, my clothes, I'd like all my dresses put out on the bed, please. I have aired all the closets, madam. But there isn't enough closet space in this bedroom. Isn't there a storm down the hall? Yes, madam. But the door, it is locked. Then bring me the key, please. Mr. Sebastian's mother, madam, she has all the house keys. Oh. Do you know where Mr. Sebastian is? I believe he is having a business meeting in his study. Business meeting? Professor Anderson, madam. And the other gentleman. What are you saying, professor? That I have news for you, my friends. My work is done. Ah, you've been successful. Yes, Alex, yes. Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Oh, Alicia, my dear. Come in. I didn't know you were busy, Alex. Some of the closets seem to have been locked. Could you give me the keys? The keys? You mean my mother hasn't given? Yes, I'll get them for you at once. Excuse me, gentlemen. Shall I go with you, Alex? No, if you'll just wait in your room, Alicia. Mother! Mother, where are you? Are you sure this is all right, Dad? Meeting you like this in a public park? Stop worrying. We're talking about keys. Yes. His mother keeps them. He has all but one. The key to the wine cellar. Alex keeps that one himself. Joseph's open. Then get it from him. Get it? How? Don't you live near him? What do I look for in the wine cellar? Look for a bottle of wine like that one that unnerved the late Mr. Hoopka. Vintage 1934. All wine bottles look alike to me. I'm no mastermind. You're doing all right. It's no fun there. It's too late for that now, isn't it? Look, why don't you persuade your husband to throw a large shindig and introduce his bride to Rio Society next week, say? Why? Invite me and I'll try to find out about that wine cellar. I don't think my husband's interested in entertaining. Don't underestimate your charms, Mrs. Sebastian. You can promote a party. It won't be easy getting you there. He thinks you're in love with me. Then tell him that you think if you invited me and I could see how happily married you are, the horrid passion I have for you might diminish. I'll try. Good. And get the key. I'll be looking forward to seeing you, Mr. Depp. It's always a pleasure meeting you, madam. Good day. Still shaving, Alex? Too hurried there. Our guest should be arriving soon. Don't tell me you're dressed. Of course. Oh, let me look at you. Well... Like a dream. A dream. Now, please, hurry there. Don't go. Stay there and talk. Oh, what about... Oh, your dressing table. What's wrong with my dressing table? Do you mean to say you'll carry all these things around in your pockets? Oh, what thing? Oh, talk about a woman's purse. Look at this letter. Papers and letters. Two wallets. Cigarette case, cigarette holder. Key... Key... You know, my dear, I'm really surprised that Mr. Depp is coming tonight. The key to the wine, sir. Alicia? Yes, dear? You're suddenly silent. Don't worry. I don't blame anyone for falling in love with you. Oh, it's not that I don't trust you, darling, but when you're in love with my age... Alicia, is anything wrong? Wrong? I hope my word, you look so serious. Oh, I'm a fool. I should never have mentioned Depp. Forgive me, darling. Of course. Well... What? What do you want? Hold your hand, dear. May I kiss your hand? Oh, Alicia. Not that clenched up little fist. Are you hiding something in your hand? Alex, there's neither courage in you that... I might like to kiss you, too. Oh, Alicia. Alicia. Mr. Sebastian. Mr. Devlin, I'm glad to see you. It's kind of your pride to invite me. Well, we both invited you, Mr. Devlin. Excuse me, Alicia. I must introduce Madame Astrid. The key? Yeah, in my hand. Good. He's quite sensitive about you. He's going to be watching us like a hawk. How's the liquor supply up here? What do you mean? I mean, if it should run out, he'd go down to sell her for more, wouldn't he? Oh, I hadn't thought of that. That's quite a point. You must work fast. I can't. I'm supposed to be a guest here. I'll slip away later on. You better go to your friends, I'll find. It's a nice party, isn't it? Alicia, a wonderful party. You handle things perfectly. I'm very proud. Thank you. Thank you, Alex. What happened to Mr. Devlin? I haven't seen him for an hour. Oh, he's around, I imagine. Trying to brown his sorrows. Oh. Excuse me, dear. I think I'll ask you if you've got to play something lively or we've had nothing but walls in the morning. It's a pantry, huh? Yes. Anyone see you come in here? I don't think so. And, uh, is this the door to the wine cellar? Yes, perhaps. It's a lot of time. There's lots of time. I'll be out in the garden. There's a door from the wine cellar that leads to the garden. When you get downstairs, open it. You'll be there? Yes, I'll be there in case anything happens. There was sand. It couldn't be sand? Probably some kind of metal ore. I've got to try to clean this up. I'll push the glass under the bottom shelf. What about the sand? I'm taking some of it for a sample. It's a little weird, isn't it? Here. I'll put this bottle in place of the one you broke. It has the same laters. Stop shaking. I have a feeling we're so slow. There is. Listen. Get out of here. No, no, no. Not upstairs. The door to the garden. He's coming that way. Quiet. It's Alex. He sees us. Keep looking at me. I'm going to kiss you. No, no. He'll only think that. That's what I wanted to think. As if we meant it, wasn't it? Now, push me away. I'm sorry to intrude on this kendo scene. Alex, Alex, I... I couldn't help it. He's been drinking. Why are you out here? Or did he carry you out? Oh, Alex. You love him. Oh, no, no. I don't. Please, go ahead. Please. What it's worth is an apology, Mr. Sebastian. Your wife is telling the truth. I knew her before you, loved her before you, but wasn't as lucky as you. Sorry, Alicia. He kissed you. Oh, Alex, don't I... I came out here because he threatened to make a scene unless I'd seen him alone. I kissed you. I couldn't stop him. I tried. We'll talk about it later. We have guests inside. You're not coming with me? I came to get more wine. I'd better go back with you. People may wonder. It's late. I thought you went upstairs long ago. I've been helping Joseph clean up besides you. You said you wanted to see me. Oh, uh, uh, Devlin. Yes. Oh, I acted like a stupid schoolboy. Once again, I'm ashamed of myself. You do believe me? Well, Alicia, of course. Thank you. Aren't you coming up there? No, not for a while. Professor Anderson's still in the study. Sleep well, Alicia. Good night, Alex. Thanks for being so nice. I need your help. Something is wrong. It's a great deal. Alicia. I have expected it. I knew it. I knew. Who is it, Mr. Devlin? No, no, it's much more serious than that. I am married to an American agent. Alicia. Late last night after she went to bed, Joseph came to me. There were some bottles to be returned to the cellar. He asked me for the key. This key was gone. Gone? Where was it? Ten minutes ago when I woke up, it was back on my key chain. She'd been down there, the wine cellar. It is easy to see now. I knew long ago, but I did not see it. They picked her up because of her problem. No, I must have been insane to behave like an idiot to believe in her. Stop wallowing in your memories. I'm done, Mother. I'm finished. They'll find out. Anderson, Eric, Martice, Rossner. Look what they did to Hoopka. He did next to nothing, and I betrayed them. I do the same thing myself. Kill the fool who betrayed them. There is no need for them to find out. Oh, they're too clever. Who would imagine that you are married to an American agent? No. For a while, at least the enormity of your stupidity is your protection. But, Alicia, I'll take care of her myself. No. Not that way. I stood looking at her just now as she lay sleeping in there. Be so easy. She was almost as impetuous as you were before your wedding. You bound me from that episode. Let me arrange this one. No one else must know what she is. There must be no suspicion. She must be allowed to move about freely. But she will be on a leash. Then, then, in time, it will happen. But it must happen slowly. She will become ill. Remain ill for a time. Until one day... Now for station identification. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. Our stars will return with Act 3 of Notorious in a moment. Our guest tonight is that rarity in movie town and native Californian. Long blue-eyed, Jacqueline White. I understand you've been interested in a movie career since childhood, Jacqueline. That's right, Mr. Keely. And now you've seen your dream come true with many successful picture roles. Well, I was especially happy with my partner RKO's new picture night song. You gave a very fine performance, Jacqueline, as Merle O'Bron's best friend. She was wonderful in her role, Mr. Keely. It's an inspiring performance. And Dana Andrews at his best in those tender, sensitive love scenes with Merle. Dana told me he really enjoyed playing the part of a composer because he loves music so much. There's plenty of that in night song and for every taste. I loved every minute we were working. But I did have a twinge of envy when I saw those gorgeous clothes designed for Merle O'Bron. One negligee in particular. It was very simply made, but the softest, most beautiful satin imaginable. Merle told me she was going to have a copy for her own wardrobe. And John Kennedy might be interested in something else she said about it. Something about luck? Yes. Because she didn't think it would wash until the studio lucked it. And it came out lovely. Was she impressed? RKO, just like other leading Hollywood studios, insists on luck's care for all nice washables. So what could be safer for a star's own lovely things? Or for any girls? And here's another interesting point. Did you know that with luck's care you can have three times as many pretty under things? Well, that's for me, Mr. Kennedy. But how do you figure it? Well, under things washed the luck's way stay lovely three times as long. Tests prove that. Identical slips in 90s washed the wrong way soon looked faded and drab. So, instead of replacing slips often because they're old looking, you can buy extra new ones, have three times as many. And as you say, Jacqueline, that's something any girl would like. Thank you for coming tonight, Miss White. Back now to our producer, William Keely. Be sure to join us after our final curtain for a brief chat with tonight's stars. Here's the third act of Notorious starring Ingrid Bergman as Alicia and Joseph Cotton as Devlin. The passing days have brought to Alicia not the slightest inkling that her husband and his mother are well aware of her real purpose in the Sebastian residence. Now, in response to a phone call from Prescott, Alicia meets Devlin in a quiet corner of a public park. I'm sorry I couldn't make it on time, Dad. It's that lonely squatting on a park bench all day. I was ill. Oh, don't let it alarm you. I'm all right now. Prescott said you'd have a message for me. I want you to know you can be proud of yourself. That sample of sand I got shows uranium ore. Your job from now on is to help us find out where the ore is coming from. Anything else? Putting some new men on the case you may soon have a new contact. You're leaving? Possibly. Paris may be more interesting. Yes. Yes, there really isn't very much for a brainy fellow like you to do here anymore. I'll try. I'm going to stay all right. Say you don't look so hot. Well, this fresh air will help me. Don't do it, son. Oh, don't be so charitable, Dad. It could be a hangover, you know. Back to the bottle again, huh? Lighten's my choice. Big party? Oh, just a family circle. Must have been quite an evening. Well, go on, have fun. There's no reason why you shouldn't. I know. Well, good-bye, Dad. What do you mean, goodbye? Just goodbye. Bye, fresh air isn't as good for hangovers, I thought. Sit down. You're still tight. No, I don't want to. Where are you going? Home, back home. Alex is coming home early. I'll take you there. Alex, the drug. You were able to get some more. Yes, I've got it. Mother, you're sure. You're sure she doesn't suspect it. She knows she is ill. That is all. She is going to feel a little worse after dinner. As a matter of fact, right after she drinks her coffee. Well, we might all go into the living room. Joseph will bring our coffee in there. At least, yeah. Yes, Professor. My dear, you don't look at all well. Alex, what's wrong with her? We just don't know. It's those high balls. I sneak on the side. Those are old. Darling, don't joke about it. Why, she hasn't had so much as a sherry all week. Well, I think you'd better see the doctor early. I never go near doctors. They always want to cart you off to a hospital. Perhaps you belong in a hospital. When did all this start? Oh, I don't know. Maybe after the party. I still think a sea trip would be much better for you, darling, than doctors and hospitals. Ah, no, no, no. I'll be all right. What about the mountains? Altitude for share. I'm going next week. Oh, you're leaving us, Professor. Sorry, I'll miss you. You could come with me. The Amores Mountains are beautiful. Covered with flowers. The lesion needs its rest, not mountains. I've heard about the Amores in those silly native towns. Are you going to Leopoldina? No, no, no. I am going to Santa Maria. Well, here's our coffee. Just leave it, Joseph. I'll serve. Yes, Mother. I will not allow you to wait for me, Madam. I can serve myself. No, that is not your cup. My cup? No, that's a licious cup. But it's not quite full, you'll notice. Oh, you're giving our little secret away, Professor. Yes, we have a confession. You know how Alicia loves coffee, Professor. Alex and I think she has been taking too much. We cheat a little. Here you are, dear. Thank you, Mother. Is it hot enough? It's fine, Alex. Perhaps Alex is right, Alicia. About rest. When you're young, rest is the best, Doctor. Oh, excuse me. I won't go to bed, I think. Oh, the pain again, darling? I'm sorry to complain all the time. May I take you to your room? Oh, please forgive me. I'll be all right. Alex, I'm worried about her. We wanted to call a doctor yesterday. But she simply will... Mrs. Sebastian! Mr. Sebastian! Yes? What is it, Joseph? Mrs. Sebastian! She collapsed. Go away. Oh, my God. It's all right, Alicia. It's all right. You feel better soon. You're here in your own bed. Please let me call the hospital. Professor, you're already late for your meeting with Eric Matisse. Yes, I must go, I suppose. Good night. I'll go to the door. Joseph. Yes, Mother? She must have absolute quiet. Disconnect the telephone. No. Take it out of the room, Joseph. No. Five days now, Prescott. Alicia hasn't been near the park for five days. She was to check with one of us at least every other day. That must be quite a binge she's on. No. No, I don't think so. You were the one who said she was drinking. I've had time to think it over. I don't believe it now. Why should she lie about it? I don't know. I don't know, but today it wasn't a hangover. She was sick. She looked like the ragged Edna of nowhere. Well, it still sounds like a hangover to me. Well, I'm going to pay a call. Oh, wait a minute. Don't worry. I won't mess anything up. Just a social call. I'm a friend of the family. Call me when you get back. I'll do that. We're a man about to be leaving for Paris. I want to talk to you later about that. I'd like to see that transfer held up for a while. I'm very sorry, Mr. Devlin. Mr. Sebastian asked me not to disturb him. Company? He's in the study with some business associate, sir. How long will he be tied up? I do not know. Mrs. Sebastian at home? Yes, sir, but she is very ill. Oh. Oh, how long has she been ill? A week, sir. Has she had a doctor? I believe so, sir. I really do not know. We are very concerned about her. If you will wait here, Mr. Devlin, I will tell Mr. Sebastian. Let's go on, Professor. This sounds serious to me. Yes. What happened Monday? The same thing, Eric. When I left the bank, a man was following me. And this morning when I went to the ticket office, he was there again. Yes? I'm very sorry, sir. But Mr. Devlin is calling. Oh, tell him I'll be with him in a minute. Yes, sir. Now, the ticket office. What man, Professor? What did he look like? Obviously not a Brazilian. It's hard to describe him. Alex. Mr. Devlin. He's waiting. Let him wait here. This is terrible, Professor. How did you get up here? I'm supposed to be downstairs waiting for your husband. Oh, I'm so glad you came. I couldn't stand any more waiting and wondering. Alicia, what is it? I'm sick. They're poisoning me. I couldn't get away, Dad. I tried when I was the weak. How long? Ever since the party. This matter they found out. Come on. Try to set up. Here. Let me help you. I've got to get you out of here. I thought you'd left real. Oh, I had to see you once more and speak my peace. I was getting out because I love you. I couldn't bear seeing you and him together. You love me. But why didn't you tell me before? Oh, I just couldn't see straight. Thanks, straight. You love me. Long ago, all the time since the beginning. Yeah. Head hollering your robe. I can't. I'm afraid they gave me pills to sleep. You've got to keep awake. Keep talking. Keep talking. Can my coat put it over your robe? Alex and his mother, they don't want the others to know about me. Don't stop talking. What happened? Alex found out. Not the others? No. No, they'd kill Alex if they knew. Matties would kill him. He killed Emily Hoopkin. He had a huge arm around me. You've got to stand up. Oh damn, I say it again. It helps. I love you. I love you. Alicia, please, stand up. Come on, talk, talk. Professor Anderson. San comes from IMA-RISMA. We'll find it. A town called San Don, San Don Mousa. Good, good. We'll take care of that later. Now you're on your feet, Alicia. Move them.
