...a savings account
in the amount of $ 1 0,452.

:44:08
Tell your friend to go to the devil.
:44:14
But, Mr. Joyce....
:44:18
The woman does not want
to sell the letter.

:44:21
My friend took a long time
to persuade her.

:44:26
Ten thousand dollars
is a lot of money, Ong...

:44:29
...just to save some trouble.
:44:31
Yes, sir.
:44:33
It is a great deal of money.
:44:39
I'll speak to Mr. Crosbie.
:44:41
-He's waiting for you at the club, sir.
-What?

:44:43
We have not much time, and the matter,
in my opinion, permits no delay.

:44:47
Therefore, I took the liberty of asking
Mr. Crosbie to have lunch with you.

:44:53
All right. Have the woman
come to my office.

:44:59
I was about to mention, sir...
:45:01
...she made two conditions.
:45:03
She insists that the money
shall be brought to her.

:45:06
I can take you to the house
whenever you are ready, sir.

:45:10
And the other condition?
:45:12
That Mrs. Crosbie bring it
to her, personally.

:45:16
You must be mad.
:45:18
You suppose Mrs. Crosbie can just
walk out whenever she feels like it?

:45:22
My friend thinks that you could arrange
for her to stay at your house until the trial.

:45:27
I'm sure the judge will permit it
if you are responsible for her, sir.

:45:32
Ong Chi Seng.
:45:34
Yes, sir?
:45:35
What are you getting out of this?
:45:38
Two thousand dollars...
:45:40
...and the great satisfaction of being
of service to you and our client.
