1:22:03
...were merely casual acquaintances?
1:22:05
Link, be careful.
He's trying to trap you.
1:22:07
Sit down.
1:22:10
Mommy, let me see that present
I gave you last night.
1:22:14
- I wanna give this to another girl.
- Nicky!
1:22:18
I found this hidden
in Barrow's apartment.
1:22:21
While I was there, Miss Porter came in.
She'd been there before.
1:22:25
That's a lie! Whitey stole it from me.
1:22:28
What are you getting at, mister?
1:22:30
Maybe you and your partner, Macy, were
relieved when Barrow was found dead.
1:22:34
But to Miss Porter,
it was really glad tidings.
1:22:37
Whitey had been blackmailing her.
He knew who she was, all about her.
1:22:42
At first she charmed him into silence.
1:22:44
Then she had to use money
and, finally, her jewelry.
1:22:52
Why, you cheap phoney.
1:22:54
And I was using you for an alibi. That's
a laugh. You needed it a lot more than...
1:22:58
So neither of you had an alibi.
I'd think that over if I were you.
1:23:02
I didn't have anything to do with it.
1:23:04
I was afraid the police would find
the bracelet and trace it to me...
1:23:07
...then they'd be sure I killed him.
But I didn't!
1:23:10
I didn't know Whitey was dead
until he told me.
1:23:12
You murderous tramp!
1:23:13
He told me Whitey was dead
before he took me home.
1:23:16
That's a lie!
1:23:18
Hey! Hey, that's enough of this!
1:23:20
- She can't do that to you!
- Oh, that's fine!
1:23:23
Any more of this, and you'll both land
in the cooler.
1:23:26
- Maguire.
- Yes, sir?
1:23:30
Where did the police pick you
up this morning?
1:23:32
- Treeport.
- That's right. I picked him up.
1:23:34
Treeport, huh? That's only a couple
of hundred miles from here.
1:23:37
If you left town last night
before Benny was killed...
1:23:40
...how does it come you weren't
further away?
1:23:42
My car broke down.
Honest, Mr. Charles, I ain't in this.
1:23:45
That's the truth, so help me.
1:23:46
I lied once, for Macy,
but I ain't lying now.
1:23:49
Barrow had nothing on me.
1:23:51
Supposing Barrow did have something
on us. I've been in plenty of scandals.
1:23:54
That didn't mean enough
for me to kill him.
1:23:56
Why, you yellow welsher! Are you
hinting that maybe I killed Barrow?
