:44:01
It couldn't be helped, Lieutenant.
:44:03
I can't understand
how you didn't see him.
:44:06
You came in here at 12.50,
Klein talked to you on the phone.
:44:09
That's right.
:44:11
Paine came, packed and left at 1.10.
That's when the taxi picked him up.
:44:15
You must've practically
passed each other.
:44:17
Well, he wasn't here,
so I thought he might be drinking.
:44:20
I had a look in a couple of bars.
:44:22
It's queer to figure a guy on the lam
is going to be sitting around bars.
:44:25
- What time did Dixon come back?
- About 1.50.
:44:28
- And you left right after that?
- Right. We started chasing Paine.
:44:31
It's obvious. He lays a fake trail.
He goes to the Pennsylvania Station,
:44:36
and then he decides to come back
and hide out in his own apartment.
:44:39
He figures the police have been there
and they won't come looking again.
:44:42
What time did Jiggs Taylor
say he was here?
:44:45
- About 2.15.
- That pretty well fingers him.
:44:48
Yeah, and he came down crazy angry,
according to his daughter,
:44:51
- ready to knock Paine's block off.
- You're wasting your time on Taylor.
:44:54
How's that? It looks completely
definite: Motive, opportunity.
:44:58
- Scalise did it.
- I don't see that at all, Dixon.
:45:01
I'm telling you,
Scalise knifed Morrison.
:45:04
He was afraid Paine
would go to the police,
:45:06
so he sent someone to finish him off.
:45:08
That doesn't stand up.
:45:10
Whoever killed Paine killed him by
accident: He only meant to slug him.
:45:14
A Scalise hood would've taken
no chances on a rumpus,
:45:17
he'd've knifed or shot him.
Yes, Benson?
:45:19
We've got Jiggs Taylor
and his daughter outside.
:45:22
Bring them in, Harrington.
Has he been talking?
:45:25
A mile a minute.
You'd think he was going to a picnic.
:45:27
I think we can
wrap the case up tonight.
:45:30
Get statements from both of them.
:45:35
- I'm Lieutenant Thomas.
- How do you do?
:45:37
How d'ya do, Lieutenant?
:45:44
I was expectin' this.
As I told the boys on the way down,
:45:47
the minute I heard Ken was murdered,
:45:49
I knew I was in for a going-over,
:45:51
having been
at the scene of the crime.
:45:54
You were all ready for us
with your story, huh?
:45:56
Won't take long.
Save you a lot of time,
:45:59
give it to you
without you havin' to pump me,
