She didn't want to at first. But she did it.
1:05:05
Charlie, the things he said to me....
He threatened to--

1:05:09
I won't wait until I'm elected.
To start with, I think I'll break your neck.

1:05:13
Maybe you can do it, and maybe you can't.
1:05:17
Your breaking this man's neck
would scarcely explain this note:

1:05:22
"Serious consequences for Mr.Kane,
for yourself and for your son."

1:05:26
- He wanted to get her to come here--
- What does this note mean?

1:05:29
I'm Susan Alexander.
I know what you're thinking--

1:05:32
- What does this note mean, Ms.Alexander?
- She don't know.

1:05:34
She sent it because I told her
it wouldn't be smart not to.

1:05:37
- Emily, this gentleman--
- I'm not a gentleman.

1:05:41
Your husband is only trying to be funny
calling me one.

1:05:44
I don't even know what a gentleman is.
1:05:47
You see, my idea of a gentleman....
1:05:54
If I owned a paper and didn't like
the way somebody was doing things...

1:05:57
...some politician,
I'd fight him with all I had.

1:06:00
I wouldn't show him in a convict suit...
1:06:02
...so his family could see his picture
in the paper.

1:06:04
- You're a cheap, crooked grafter--
- We're talking now about what you are.

1:06:09
I'm fighting for my life,
not just my political life.

1:06:12
- He said unless you--
- That's what I said.

1:06:14
Here's the chance I'm willing to give him.
It's more of a chance than he'd give me.

1:06:18
Unless he decides by tomorrow that
he's so sick he has to go away for a year...

1:06:23
...Monday morning, all papers in the state,
except his, will carry the story I'll give.

1:06:28
What story?
1:06:30
- The story about him and Ms.Alexander.
- There isn't any story!

1:06:33
Shut up.
1:06:35
We've got evidence that would look bad
in the headlines.

1:06:38
Do you want me to give you the evidence?
1:06:42
I'd rather he withdrew
without having the story published.

1:06:45
Not that I care about him,
but I'd be better off that way.

1:06:51
So would you, Mrs.Kane.
1:06:54
What about me?
1:06:58
He said my name would be dragged
through the mud. That everywhere I went--
