:51:02
l take back what l said this afternoon,
Miss Smollett.

:51:05
Your track records looking up.
:51:07
You are all in the clear
no matter what happens...

:51:10
because you dont have Bunnys name
in your records.

:51:12
Shes not in your index,
so she doesnt exist.

:51:14
What are you suggesting?
:51:16
You tore up the card and changed
the ledgers when there was trouble.

:51:19
-Superintendent, you dont believe--
-lt is possible.

:51:22
Look, either the school is lying or we are.
:51:25
They have a reason to. They lost a child.
:51:27
But what possible reason
would my sister have for lying?

:51:31
l was hoping you could give me a reason.
:51:38
You know that teachers lying.
She has to admit it.

:51:41
What do you suggest?
We no longer have the rack.

:51:43
You dont seem to be taking this thing
very seriously.

:51:46
l assure you that l am.
:51:47
lts very easy
to tear out an incriminating page...

:51:50
from a loose-leaf ledger.
You said so yourself.

:51:53
No, l didnt. By the same token,
its possible to tear out a blank check form...

:51:58
and write anything you like on the stub.
:52:00
lf thats what you think,
ask the bank about it.

:52:02
l may, but you could just say
the school never deposited it...

:52:06
and they tore it up
along with the application.

:52:08
Are you calling me a liar?
:52:11
lm not calling anybody anything, Mr. Lake.
Not yet.

:52:14
One thing l can guarantee: lf this child
isnt found by tomorrow morning...

:52:18
lll stir up the damnedest mess
you ever saw.

:52:22
How?
:52:23
By simply doing my job as a journalist.
:52:25
American child disappears
in broad daylight...

:52:28
right in the middle of London.
:52:29
Police do nothing. That sort of thing.
:52:31
Sounds conventional. A bit dull, too.
:52:34
lt wont be dull for you.
lll go to the American ambassador.

:52:38
lll hire detectives.
:52:39
Yes. Youll hire. Youll complain.
That would be normal procedure.

:52:42
You do everything for your sister,
dont you?

:52:45
Pay her bills, fill up her forms...
:52:47
hire detectives to solve her little mysteries.
:52:50
Whats wrong with that?
:52:51
-How did she get to England?
-She?

:52:54
lm sorry, they. How did your sister
and Bunny travel from America?

:52:59
-By ship.
-What ship?
