1:38:02
other people that I don't
want to hear about me?
1:38:05
Yes, I can understand,
1:38:06
but since you're the well-known
orphan child, who's to care?
1:38:10
The police, damn you.
1:38:11
What can the police do if we can stop
Strutt from prosecuting?
1:38:14
They can start investigating
other jobs. Other similar jobs.
1:38:23
- Well, that's something else again.
- Yes, it is.
1:38:26
How many? How many other jobs?
1:38:31
Tell me the truth, damn it! You've
nothing to gain by lying to me now!
1:38:34
- How many jobs have you pulled?
- Three.
1:38:38
- Try again.
- Four. Five counting Strutt.
1:38:42
Over how long a period?
1:38:44
Five years,
and that's the truth, I swear!
1:38:47
- Alright. How much? How much?
- Under $50,000.
1:38:52
What towns?
1:38:54
Buffalo, Detroit, Elizabeth, New Jersey
and New York.
1:38:57
Well, in New York and Philadelphia,
1:38:59
I ' ll be poor old Mark Rutland who lost
his head over a pretty girl.
1:39:02
In the others I'm just
an accessory after the fact
1:39:05
and equally liable under the law.
1:39:07
Well, then let me go! They can't
blame you because you didn't know!
1:39:10
After you found out, I ran away.
Just let me go!
1:39:13
If I let you run out now,
nothing could keep the lid on it.
1:39:15
They've got your real name. They'll
work up a complete dossier on you.
1:39:18
When they finally catch you,
and they will catch you,
1:39:20
they'll throw the
New York City Library at you.
1:39:22
But, suppose we don't lose our heads?
1:39:25
All we've got to fight is Strutt's
big mouth. That gives us time.
1:39:29
Sit down. Listen.
We can do one of two things.
1:39:33
We can hire a lawyer
and a psychiatrist,
1:39:36
and make an immediate voluntary
confession and an offer of restitution.
1:39:39
That'll make the whole thing public.
1:39:41
But the chances are very good
that you' ll get a suspended sentence.
1:39:45
Now the alternative.
1:39:47
We can go together and make private
calls on all the places you've robbed.
1:39:50
You'll express deep sorrow
and repentance,
1:39:54
sincere and vocal contrition.
1:39:56
And while you sob, I show a check
for the amount stolen.
