1:14:03
...though a middleman, obviously.
1:14:06
And he also...
1:14:07
...wanted money for his family.
1:14:11
Then he played me a copy of this tape...
1:14:14
...and said if I refused he would
turn the tape over to the police.
1:14:18
He then gave me...
1:14:20
...a key to...
1:14:22
...a safe deposit box.
1:14:24
Said at the end of 25 years...
1:14:26
...when Kragen got out
or if he should die...
1:14:29
...I would be given
the location of the box.
1:14:33
In the meantime...
1:14:35
...l'm to hang onto this key...
1:14:37
...with no lock and our friend
would hang onto his lock with no key.
1:14:44
What would you do if someone was
threatening you like that...
1:14:47
...or blackmailing you like this?
What do you do?
1:14:51
I don't know.
1:14:52
It's never come up.
1:14:55
Imagine it.
1:14:57
Imagine some...
1:14:58
...opportunistic...
1:15:00
...piece of birdshit...
1:15:02
...has got a way to compromise you.
1:15:05
What do you do about it? You can't
buy silence. You can only rent it.
1:15:09
If somebody has something on you,
they'll always have it.
1:15:13
So the cost has no ceiling...
1:15:17
...and the fear has no end.
1:15:22
That's why...
1:15:24
...some knowledge, some information...
1:15:29
...is like a terminal disease.
1:15:33
It's...
1:15:35
...contagious...
1:15:36
...and it's fatal.
1:15:42
Passion is the enemy of precision.
1:15:45
Forget the misnomer 'crime of passion. '
1:15:48
All crime is passionate. It's passion
that moves the criminal to act...
1:15:52
... that disrupts the static inertia
of morality.
1:15:56
The client's passion for this dead
woman had facilitated his downfall.
