:20:01
I'm being blackmailed
for something I didn't do.
:20:05
Me too.
:20:06
- Not me.
- No?
:20:08
I'm being blackmailed,
but I did what I'm being blackmailed for.
:20:12
What did you do?
:20:14
I run a service providing gentlemen
with the company of a young lady.
:20:21
Oh, yeah?
:20:23
What's the phone number?
:20:25
You knew the Colonel works
in Washington. Is he a client?
:20:28
- No!
- I asked Miss Scarlet.
:20:30
- Say it's not true.
- It's not.
:20:33
- True?
- No.
:20:34
- It is true!
- A double negative!
:20:36
- You have photos?
- Sounds like a confession.
:20:39

:20:43

- Right!
:20:48
What's so terrible about the Colonel
visiting a house of ill fame?
:20:53
- Most soldiers do.
- Please!
:20:55
He holds a sensitive post
in the Pentagon.
:20:58
You drive a very expensive car
for a colonel.
:21:02
I came into money during the war
when I lost my parents.
:21:08
Mrs White, you've been paying
:21:10
since your husband died
under mysterious circumstances.
:21:15
- Why is that funny?
- That's why he's on his back. In a coffin.
:21:20
- I didn't kill him.
- So why pay the blackmailer?
:21:23
I don't want a scandal. We'd had
a very humiliating confrontation.
:21:29
He was deranged. He was lunatic.
:21:31
He didn't like me.
He threatened to kill me in public.
:21:35
- Why kill you in public?
- He threatened, in public, to kill her.
:21:40
- Was that his final word?
- Being killed is pretty final.
:21:44
- Yet he was the one who died, not you.
- What did he do for a living?
:21:50
A scientist. Nuclear physics.
:21:53
What was he like?
:21:55
