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.
1:40:01
Press it into their hands
1:40:02
and ask as a special favour
to a distraught husband,
1:40:05
to withdraw the charge.
But if one of them says,
1:40:07
"Thanks, I'll take the money,
but I won't drop the charge, "
1:40:09
then we 've had it.
1:40:11
After that it's an open court case,
and very probable sentence.
1:40:17
On the other hand, with a bit of luck
we might pull it off.
1:40:20
Think it over.
1:40:23
It's late. You better get some sleep.
You gotta be up for the hunt.
1:40:25
You don't expect me
to ride in the hunt!
1:40:28
Certainly I expect you to ride.
1:40:29
For one thing, I want you out of
the house when Strutt comes here.
1:40:32
For another, I don't want
to give Lil the satisfaction
1:40:34
of seeing you chicken.
1:40:36
And, Marnie,
tonight the door stays open.
1:40:47
