1:28:00
Well, gentlemen and ladies...
1:28:04
...we have our murderer.
1:28:17
Nicky, I can't stand it! Was it me?
1:28:20
Yeah, Nick, is it her?
1:28:23
Nick, who is it?
1:28:25
You, major.
1:28:27
Nick, you're joking.
1:28:32
No wonder the Stephens-Macy syndicate
was riding high...
1:28:36
...with a special deputy for
the state Legislature as a silent partner.
1:28:39
You were in a beautiful position
to cover up the syndicate's racket.
1:28:43
Nick, what are you saying?
1:28:45
Then you found your golden harvest
was in danger.
1:28:50
Whitey Barrow was scared.
Threatened to talk.
1:28:54
That would have meant exposure
for you. Ruin.
1:28:57
So to protect yourself
and your fellow thieves...
1:29:01
...you caught up with him
and killed him...
1:29:04
...leaving your friend Paul Clarke
to take the rap.
1:29:07
You can't mean this, Nick.
It's nonsense, every word of it.
1:29:11
You were clicking beautifully
until we released Paul...
1:29:14
...and used the accidental death
of the jockey for bait.
1:29:18
Accidental death?
1:29:20
Yes. Goldez wasn't murdered.
1:29:22
He shot himself by accident.
1:29:25
But we let it stand as a murder.
1:29:27
And we spread the news
that whoever had killed Barrow...
1:29:30
...had also killed the jockey.
1:29:32
We said we were looking
for one murderer.
1:29:35
Then, major, you did just what
Lieutenant Abrams said you would do.
1:29:40
Yeah. What was that?
1:29:43
You tried to frame someone else
to fit that picture.
1:29:46
So you picked
on poor little Rainbow Benny...
1:29:49
...because he'd been mixed up
with jockeys and crooked races...
1:29:52
...and to the police, he might seem
like the double killer.
1:29:55
You strangled him. And in his fireplace,
you planted Stephens' ledger...
