1:06:00
What are you talking about?
1:06:01
He hasn't seen
this Allenbury girl in 10 days.
1:06:03
Do you call that being clever?
Great scott, man.
1:06:06
Do you realize what this means?
1:06:07
More than you know.
1:06:09
It's your business to find out
what he's been doing.
1:06:11
That's just exactly it.
1:06:12
I'm going to take
the matter into my own hands.
1:06:15
I'm going to see
Connie Allenbury personally.
1:06:16
Why do you think she will see you?
1:06:18
Mr. Bane, when I was a reporter,
I'd get into places...
1:06:21
that even a second-story man
couldn't break into.
1:06:23
All right, try it. Make her see.
Appeal to her reason.
1:06:26
She has none. This is Connie Allenbury,
international playgirl...
1:06:29
the spoiled daughter
without a brain in her head!
1:06:31
But I know how to handle her kind.
1:06:33
I'm gonna throw myself on her mercy
and appeal to her heart.
1:06:36
I'm going to give her all the sob stuff!
1:06:38
You know, Miss Allenbury,
this situation has outgrown a petty fight.
1:06:42
We've got to consider
the humanitarian aspect.
1:06:44
I must appeal to your social conscience.
1:06:46
Thanks. I didn't know your paper
thought I had one.
1:06:50
Now, now.
1:06:52
If you go through with this case...
1:06:54
it's going to throw 500 people
out of employment.
1:06:56
Men and women, jobless,
walking the streets...
1:06:59
women like yourself,
tired, cold, and hungry.
1:07:03
- Driven to drink and ruin.
- You write the editorials, don't you?
1:07:07
Yes. Now, I know what you're thinking.
1:07:10
You're saying to yourself,
it's not my fault if people starve.
1:07:13
- It's the fault of the paper.
- Isn't it?
1:07:16
No, it's my fault, it's my mistake.
1:07:19
And all my life I shall be faced
with the knowledge...
1:07:22
that I have wrecked
the lives of 500 people.
1:07:27
That's all I care about, Miss Allenbury.
1:07:29
Those poor, unfortunate souls.
1:07:34
After all, they shouldn't suffer for...
1:07:36
You're right, they shouldn't suffer
for your mistakes.
1:07:39
Miss Allenbury. Thank you.
1:07:43
I knew you'd feel this way.
1:07:45
- They must be taken care of.
- Heaven bless you, Connie. Miss Allenbury.
1:07:49
And you, too, for calling it to my attention.
I shall see to it personally...
1:07:53
that the whole $5 million
goes into a trust fund for them.
1:07:57
You mean you're gonna
go ahead with the case?
1:07:59
I must, to get the $5 million.
Now I shall push it doubly hard.
