:22:02
What kind of a crime, Miss Ashton?
:22:07
It's a serious one.
:22:08
Embezzlement?
Extortion? Blackmail?
:22:12
We're an investigative agency only,
Miss Ashton.
:22:15
We turn our facts over to the
U.S. Attorney. It's for him to decide.
:22:19
You mean, you couldn't--?
:22:22
Make a deal?
No, Miss Ashton, we don't make deals.
:22:27
No promises.
:22:30
But I'd suggest if your friend wants
to make a break with this man...
:22:34
...she do it now,
before she becomes more involved.
:22:37
If she has committed a crime,
she'll be prosecuted, of course.
:22:41
But the jury will take into consideration
any mitigating circumstances.
:22:48
Thank you.
:22:52
You've been very kind, Mr. Ripley.
:22:55
I'll tell my friend.
:23:00
I'd like to buy you a drink
some evening.
:23:06
- I'll survive if you say no.
- No, I'm very flattered.
:23:12
But you're a very busy man,
and you don't have much time.
:23:15
I understand.
:23:17
Goodbye.
:23:19
Goodbye, Miss Ashton.
