:16:01
I put him in a cab and went back
to look for Mitch.
:16:04
- And ran right into me.
- You ought to know.
:16:07
You came up to Samuels' apartment
even though you saw police cars?
:16:10
Well, how did I know they had
anything to do with Samuels?
:16:14
You're just a bunch of hick cops here.
:16:16
You won't pin anything on Mitch.
Not in 100 years.
:16:23
I'm sorry.
:16:25
It's just that I'm worried sick
about Mitch.
:16:28
Did you have some sort of
an argument with Samuels?
:16:33
What was there to argue about?
His liquor was good. Everything was okay.
:16:37
You'd never met him before?
:16:39
No. I told you, I just met him in the bar.
I never even seen him before.
:16:43
- You sure?
- Well, sure, I'm sure.
:16:46
Of course...
:16:48
...seen a lot of guys like him.
:16:50
- Like what?
- Oh, you know...
:16:53
...guys that played it safe during the war.
:16:56
Scrounged around keeping
themselves in civvies.
:16:59
Got swell apartments, swell dames.
You know the kind.
:17:03
I'm not sure that I do. Just what kind?
:17:06
Oh, you know...
:17:08
...some of them are named Samuels.
:17:11
Some of them got funnier names.
:17:15
You'll be at the Stewart Hotel?
:17:18
Sure. I got nowhere else to go.
:17:20
I'm sponging a bunk from one of the boys.
Coming, Keeley?
:17:23
There are one or two more questions
I'd like to ask Sergeant Keeley.
:17:34
He ought to look at a casualty list.
There are a lot of funny names there too.
:17:41
I said Monty was illiterate.
Said he ought to read.
:17:43
- I was just philosophizing.
- I'm not interested in philosophy.
:17:47
I'm trying to solve a murder.
:17:51
Mitchell was in a strange mood tonight.
You admit that.
:17:55
He left Samuels' apartment
intending to come back.
:17:59
We arrive and find Samuels
beaten to death.
