out more about why Morgan left New York. Morgan and Roberta become increasingly anxious about whether Leonard is really dead, and Morgan is especially upset at a party when he discovers Leonard's ring in his champagne glass. Soon after, while working late hours in his office, Morgan is approached by a shadowy figure. From outside, Roberta and Wheeler hear sounds of an apparent struggle, but when Roberta goes to investigate, she finds Morgan alone, locking a large roll-top desk that had previously been left unlocked. Roberta also finds a pipe like the one owned by Leonard, but Morgan assures her that it's his own. The next day, the roll-top desk has been replaced by a new one, and Morgan brusquely explains that he'd had the old one taken away and burned in the building's furnace because it was no longer functional. Morgan becomes increasingly distant and hostile to Wheeler and even Roberta, whose suspicions are aroused. Going to the furnace to investigate, she gets Morgan to confess that he had killed Leonard and put his body inside the now-burned desk. She tells Morgan that she will not turn him in but that he must confess to the police himself. That night, Ronnie also confronts Morgan with information (never fully explained) about why he left New York, but Morgan attacks her. Worried that Roberta will go to the police, Morgan loosens one of the long knives used in Roberta's performance so that it will cut her when she jumps through the circle. At the last moment in her act, though, he suddenly yanks the device away. Retreating through the stage door, Morgan is apparently ready to flee, but he is confronted by Ronnie, who shoots and kills him. As the camera moves away from the alley, we see the theater's marquee again, with the lights spelling out "Joe Morgan" being extinguished.
