:52:02
Yes, Hollis was the best
department chief the city ever had.
:52:06
- What happened to your nose?
- Cut myself shaving.
:52:12
- That must really smart.
- Only when I breathe.
:52:20
Only when you breathe... Don't tell me
you're still working for Mrs Mulwray?
:52:26
- I never was.
- I don't understand.
:52:29
Neither do l, actually.
You hired me.
:52:33
Or you hired that chippie to hire me.
:52:36
- You're not making a bit of sense.
- Let's look at it this way:
:52:43
Mulwray didn't want to build a dam.
His reputation was hard to get around.
:52:47
You decided to ruin it. Then he found
out you were dumping water at night.
:52:53
Then he was... drowned.
:52:57
That's an outrageous accusation.
I don't know what you're talking about.
:53:02
Well, Whitey Mehrholtz
over at the Times will.
:53:06
Dumping thousands of gallons of water
in the middle of a drought is news.
:53:13
Mr Gittes...
:53:15
We're not anxious for it to get around,
but we have been diverting water -
:53:21
- To irrigate orange groves
in the Northwest Valley.
:53:24
They have no legal right to our water,
but we've been trying to help them out.
:53:30
When you divert water,
there's a little run-off.
:53:34
Yeah, a little run-off...
Where did you say those groves were?
:53:39
- In the Northwest Valley.
- That's like saying they're in Arizona.
:53:43
My field men are out,
I can't give you the exact location.
:53:48
You're a married man, aren't you?
Hard working, wife, kids...?
:53:55
- Yes.
- I don't want to nail you.
