1:17:01
That sounds all right.
1:17:03
Now, Jacoby.
1:17:06
Captain Jacoby's death was entirely
Miss O'Shaughnessy's fault.
1:17:11
Tell me what happened.
1:17:12
Cairo, as you must have surmised,
contacted me...
1:17:15
...after he left police headquarters
last night or morning.
1:17:18
He recognized the mutual advantage
of pooling forces.
1:17:21
Mr. Cairo is a man of nice judgement.
1:17:23
The Paloma was his thought.
He read of its arrival in the papers...
1:17:27
...and remembered he had heard
in Hong Kong...
1:17:29
...that Jacoby and Miss O'Shaughnessy
were seen together....
1:17:35
Well, sir, he saw that notice and...
1:17:37
...putting two and two together
guessed the truth.
1:17:40
She had given the bird to Jacoby
to bring here for her.
1:17:43
And at that juncture you decided
to slip me a Mickey.
1:17:45
There's no place for you in our plan, sir.
1:17:47
So we decided to spare ourselves
any possible embarrassment.
1:17:52
Mr. Cairo and Wilmer and I went
to call on Captain Jacoby.
1:17:55
We were lucky enough to arrive
while Miss O'Shaughnessy was there.
1:17:59
In many ways, the conference was difficult,
but we finally persuaded...
1:18:02
...Miss O'Shaughnessy to come to terms,
or so we thought.
1:18:05
We then left the boat and set out
for my hotel...
1:18:08
...where I was to pay Miss O'Shaughnessy
and receive the bird.
1:18:11
Well, sir, we mere men
should have known better.
1:18:14
En route, she, Captain Jacoby
and the falcon...
1:18:16
...slipped completely through our fingers.
1:18:19
It was neatly done, sir. Indeed, it was.
1:18:22
You touched off the boat before you left?
1:18:24
No, not intentionally.
1:18:26
Though, we, or Wilmer at least,
were responsible for the fire.
1:18:29
While the rest of us were talking
in the cabin, Wilmer went about the boat...
1:18:34
...trying to find the falcon.
1:18:37
No doubt, he was careless with matches.
1:18:39
And how about the shooting?
1:18:41
We caught up with Miss O'Shaughnessy
and Jacoby at her apartment.
1:18:44
I sent Wilmer downstairs to cover
the fire escape before ringing the bell.
1:18:48
And, sure enough, while she was asking us
who we were through the door...
1:18:52
...and we were telling her,
we heard a window go up.
1:18:54
Wilmer shot Jacoby as he was coming
down the fire escape...
1:18:57
...shot him more than once, but Jacoby
was too tough to fall or drop the falcon.
