:49:07
Where were you?
:49:12
I was out of town.
:49:15
District Attorney, James Lister,
was killed in an explosion...
:49:18
of a car belonging to
Secretary of Commerce Bailey...
:49:18
Have you been back long?
:49:21
A couple of days.
:49:22
as he was leaving
the secretary's Long lsland estate.
:49:23
Are you staying?
:49:25
Mr. Lister, who was killed
instantly in the blast...
:49:28
was scheduled to testify in
Washington on Thursday...
:49:31
before a Senate Committee.
A Committee investigating...
:49:34
what has come to be called
"the Bailey scandal".
:49:37
A special team of detectives
has been assigned to the case.
:49:38
That depends.
:49:40
As for Secretary Bailey
he was not available...
:49:42
for any statement at this time.
:49:42
Why do you want to see me?
:49:46
Did you know those guys?
:49:46
Two reasons.
:49:47
...at the offices of his long time
legal advisor, lrving Gold...
:49:49
First, I wanted to see
if you did the right thing...
:49:50
in hopes of getting
some comment.
:49:52
turning me down
to became an actress.
:49:53
Mr. Gold, are you aware
that District Attorney Lister...
:49:58
is the second witness
in the Bailey Scandal...
:49:58
Well?
:50:01
to meet a sudden
and violent end. The first...
:50:03
was Thomas Finney,
Under-Secretary of Commerce...
:50:03
You did. You're terrific.
:50:06
who fell to his death from
his fifteenth-floor office...
:50:08
just a month ago.
:50:09
Do you think there's
a connection between these deaths?
:50:12
Take the money and run.
What the hell's keeping you here?
:50:15
The FBI is looking into it.
Ask them.
:50:17
The only remaining witness
is the man who...
:50:20
rightly or wrongly has given
his name to this whole affair...
:50:21
"Age cannot wither her."
It's like the play was written for you.
:50:22
Secretary Christopher Bailey.
:50:25
Curious.
:50:26
What did the Secretary
think of all this?
:50:28
-The Secretary has no worries.
-Sir, if he has no worries...
:50:30
What was the other reason?
:50:31
why then has he retreated
to his place on Long lsland?
:50:33
The other reason...
:50:35
Far from retreating he's busy
preparing his attack...
:50:38
on the questions he will
be asked by the committee.
:50:39
is to decide whether I should go
to a party tomorrow night.
:50:41
I'd call them accusations
more than questions, sir.
:50:44
The Secretary has no worries.
:50:46
But the public does. Particularly
in view of the rumors about...
:50:49
rigged contracts, bribery,
the international Mafia, especially...
:50:50
Party?
:50:54
those dealing with the illegal
use of the transport union....
:50:54
Yeah, on Long lsland.
:50:57
pension funds.
:50:59
Could you tell us
anything about that?
:50:59
Secretary Bailey.
