:13:09
We've been waitin'
for you, Bennett.
I've been walking the streets.
:13:13
I was going
to phone you.
Sure.
:13:16
Now we're going down
to headquarters for a talk.
:13:22
Why didn't you use this?
You sensitive to loud noises?
:13:30
"M.M."
I didn't kill her.
:13:32
[Flood] Then you've got
nothing to worry about. Shall we go?
:13:35
Kirk.
Don't worry.
:13:37
I can explain everything.
Still, if I were you,
Mrs. Bennett,
:13:41
I'd get myself
a good lawyer.
:13:53
She was blackmailing you,
wasn't she?
:13:56
All right, she was blackmailing me.
I've told you that.
:13:59
Might as well
admit the rest, then.
:14:01
Wouldn't let you off the hook,
would she?
I didn't kill her.
:14:03
That record
she was playin'...
"Heartbreak."
:14:07
Must have meant a lot
to you once.
I never heard the thing before.
:14:10
Funny she was playing it
for you.
She wasn't playing it for me!
:14:16
"Better call on me,
sonny boy, or else."
:14:21
Or else she'd tell your wife.
I didn't want
to have my wife hurt.
:14:24
So you went to Marlowe's
apartment for a showdown.
I couldn't pay her any more.
:14:27
- I hoped
I could persuade her to...
- What? With this?
:14:30
I never intended to use it.
:14:32
I only wanted to scare her.
You scared her, all right.
:14:36
She had her own
little automatic ready
just in case.
:14:41
She pulled it on you.
You grabbed it.
:14:45
Your fingerprints
were all over it, Bennett.
:14:47
There was a struggle.
You grabbed hold of the scarf...
:14:50
And didn't let go.
Do I have to deny it
all over again?
:14:53
The maid seeing you
was a tough break, Bennett.
:14:55
If you'd listen to me
about that brooch...
We listened.
:14:58
You're asking us to believe
in an awful choosy robber.
