1:32:01
How can you do this to me, Sam?
1:32:04
Surely, Mr. Archer wasn't
as much to you as....

1:32:19
Listen.
1:32:21
This won't do any good.
1:32:24
You'll never understand me,
but I'll try once and then give it up.

1:32:27
When a man's partner is killed,
he's supposed to do something.

1:32:30
It makes no difference
what you thought of him.

1:32:33
He was your partner, and you're supposed
to do something about it...

1:32:36
...and it happens we're
in the detective business.

1:32:39
Well, when one of your organization
gets killed, it's...

1:32:43
...it's bad business to let the killer
get away with it...

1:32:46
...bad all around,
bad for every detective everywhere.

1:32:48
You don't expect me to think that these
are sufficient reasons for sending me--

1:32:52
Wait'll I'm through. Then, you can talk.
1:32:55
I've no earthly reason to think
I can trust you.

1:32:57
If I do this and get away with it,
you'll have something on me...

1:33:00
...that you can use whenever you want to.
1:33:02
Since I've got something on you...
1:33:03
...l couldn't be sure that you wouldn't
put a hole in me someday.

1:33:07
All those are on one side.
1:33:09
Maybe some of them are unimportant.
I won't argue about that.

1:33:13
But look at the number of them.
1:33:16
What have we got on the other side?
1:33:18
All we've got is that maybe you love me
and maybe I love you.

1:33:23
You know whether you love me or not.
1:33:27
Maybe I do. I'll have some rotten nights
after I've sent you over, but that'll pass.

1:33:37
If all I've said doesn't mean anything
to you...

1:33:39
...then forget it and we'll make it just this:
1:33:41
I won't, because all of me wants to
regardless of consequences...

1:33:45
...and because you've counted on it...
1:33:47
...the same as you counted on it
with all the others.

1:33:49
Would you have done this if the falcon
were real and you got your money?

1:33:53
Don't be too sure I'm as crooked
as I'm supposed to be.

1:33:55
That sort of reputation might be
good business...

1:33:58
...bringing high-priced jobs and making it
easier to deal with the enemy...
