1:05:03
They were all there that night.
Eddie Mars with Charlotte Sternwood...

1:05:07
... and the reason for them
being there - Mona Grant.

1:05:09
She was a singer.
Mars was mad about her.

1:05:12
And so was Rusty.
1:05:14
Charlotte Sternwood hung around
the joints like she couldn't sleep nights.

1:05:18
## Won't somebody dance with me? #
1:05:25
# Start up a... ##
1:05:28
Eddie Mars got Mona Grant,
the singer. They married.

1:05:31
And Rusty got sore and married
Charlotte Sternwood.

1:05:35
The marriage was a bit, er...
and Rusty started to see Mona the singer.

1:05:39
And then... they both vanished.
1:05:41
Together, people said.
1:05:43
Most of that's on the record, Harry.
It's not worth £200.

1:05:47
Yeah, but then... a new fella
enters the scene. Lash Canino.

1:05:52
Who?
1:05:53
Lash Canino. The brown man.
1:05:56
I was in this pub collecting bets for
Joe Brody and, suddenly, there he is.

1:06:00
The brown man. Brown suit, brown shirt,
brown car. Brown girl he had, too.

1:06:05
And a foot!
1:06:07
Well, he'd been shot, hadn't he?
Left leg all in plaster.

1:06:11
Canino is tough
like some guys "think" they're tough.

1:06:14
He'd bump a guy off between drinks.
1:06:16
Eddie Mars calls him in
when he has something special.

1:06:19
At the office I tell Joe I seen Canino.
1:06:21
He puts that together with
Rusty and Mona disappearing.

1:06:24
Joe collected 5,000 from
the Sternwood family once before.

1:06:27
Now he reckons he can get a line
on the lovebirds and collect twice...

1:06:32
... from Eddie Mars and the General.
1:06:34
So he tails Canino.
He follows him to the park.

1:06:38
And there's Charlotte Sternwood
waving banknotes about...

1:06:41
... as if she's gonna feed the pigeons.
But Canino picks them up!

1:06:45
Joe figures Canino knows
something about Regan...

1:06:48
...and is trying a little squeeze
on the side for himself.

1:06:51
I still don't see £200 in it.
1:06:53
If Charlotte thought anything
had happened to Regan...

1:06:56
...Mars is just the type she'd go to.
1:06:58
But what if Eddie's wife, Mona the singer,
never really ran away with Regan at all?
