1:01:01
They felt no guilt about their crime,
and got nothing out of it.
1:01:05
And most important,
they told the police or a psychiatrist...
1:01:11
...that they felt the urge to kill,
before they committed murder.
1:01:17
Their warnings were disregarded.
1:01:26
So, who killed the Clutters?
1:01:34
Someday, somebody will explain
to me the motive of a newspaper.
1:01:39
First you scream, ''Find the bastards.''
1:01:41
Till we find them you want to get us fired.
1:01:44
When we find them,
you accuse us of brutality.
1:01:49
Before we can go into court,
you give them a trial by newspaper.
1:01:53
When we finally get a conviction
you want to save them...
1:01:56
...by proving they were crazy
in the first place.
1:01:59
All of which adds up to one thing:
You've got the killers.
1:02:05
Off the record, have you got them?
1:02:10
Suspects.
1:02:11
Even if we catch them, that's all we've got.
1:02:15
Because without a confession, the evidence
we got so far, we couldn't go to trial.
1:02:22
Unless we can place the suspects
in this spot...
1:02:25
...unless we can tie the killers
to that piece of rope...
1:02:29
...they'll never hang.
