and did you not murder him

to keep him from reporting to me?

1194

01:
17:03,035 -- 01:17:05,697

- No! How can you twist the facts...

- I'm twisting nothing.

1195

01:
17:05,771 -- 01:17:08,865

Did you, or did you not, kill your husband

to prevent him from doing his duty?

1196

01:
17:08,940 -- 01:17:09,998

No!

1197

01:
17:11,043 -- 01:17:13,978

Answer this,

and please answer it carefully.

1198

01:
17:14,746 -- 01:17:18,011

Wasn't this situation,

this leakage of information,

1199

01:
17:18,083 -- 01:17:20,779

the direct cause of Ray Borden's death?

1200

01:
17:21,053 -- 01:17:23,715

- Yes, but you...

- No further questions.

1201

01:
17:23,922 -- 01:17:26,584

Do you wish to reexamine your witness?

1202

01:
17:28,226 -- 01:17:30,956

Your Honor, I ask for an hour's recess.

1203

01:
17:31,363 -- 01:17:33,388

Has the prosecution any objection?

1204

01:
17:33,465 -- 01:17:35,057

No objection at all, Your Honor.

1205

01:
17:35,133 -- 01:17:38,694

As it is nearly noon,

court will resume session at 2:00.

1206

01:
17:44,509 -- 01:17:46,340

I won't let you down.

1207

01:
17:58,056 -- 01:17:59,853

Well, here are the files. Now what do I do?

1208

01:
17:59,925 -- 01:18:03,224

Put them in an envelope

and mail it to yourself, registered mail.

1209

01:
18:03,295 -- 01:18:05,786

That ought to keep them out of circulation

long enough.

1210

01:
18:05,864 -- 01:18:08,628

It gives me the creeps,

like it was your will or something.

1211

01:
18:08,700 -- 01:18:11,794

Hinkel, you're being morbid.

Come on, let's go.

1212

01:
18:20,946 -- 01:18:23,847

- Mr. Garland in?

- Why, yes, but he's busy at the moment.

1213

01:
18:23,915 -- 01:18:26,782

FRANK:
Scratch that all out

and take a new letter.

1214

01:
18:26,852 -- 01:18:30,253

This is to confirm our conversation

of last Thursday.

1215

01:
18:30,756 -- 01:18:34,123

- We'll finish this later, Dorothy.

- Yes, Mr. Garland.

1216

01:
18:34,192 -- 01:18:37,218

Well, Scott, I hear everything is going fine.

1217

01:
18:37,629 -- 01:18:39,597

Then Andy is more optimistic than I am.

1218

01:
18:39,664 -- 01:18:42,758

Why? They haven't smoked out

a thing on us so far.

1219

01:
18:42,834 -- 01:18:45,462

- I'm losing the case.

- Oh, be a sport.

1220

01:
18:46,405 -- 01:18:48,373

There's always got to be a first time.

1221

01:
18:48,440 -- 01:18:51,841

Sit down. Relax.

I'll have some lunch sent in.

1222

01:
18:51,977 -- 01:18:53,808

You're not listening.

1223

01:
18:53,879 -- 01:18:56,109

You're going to be in the middle of this

before you know it.

1224

01:
18:56,181 -- 01:18:58,342

There won't be any middle

if you lose it fast enough.

1225

01:
18:58,417 -- 01:19:02,376

Impossible. I can't plead the defendant

guilty without her consent.

1226

01:
19:02,454 -- 01:19:04,888

What have they got

that I don't know about?

1227

01:
19:04,956 -- 01:19:07,789

Well, something

they don't know about yet.

1228

01:
19:08,193 -- 01:19:11,128

Now, we've got to get a dismissal

before this thing goes any further.

1229

01:
19:11,196 -- 01:19:12,288

How?

1230

01:
19:13,198 -- 01:19:15,530

We'll need some help from Andy.

1231

01:
19:17,169 -- 01:19:20,502

It may take a little of his time,

about three years.

1232

01:
19:21,072 -- 01:19:23,097

You're ahead of me, Victor.

1233

01:
19:23,175 -- 01:19:26,235

The prosecution has based its whole case

on Ellen being the pipeline.

1234

01:
19:26,311 -- 01:19:28,302

That's the only motive they can show.

1235

01:
19:28,380 -- 01:19:30,780

So I put Andy on as a defense witness.

1236

01:
19:30,849 -- 01:19:33,579

He admits he was the contact man

and Ray Borden was the leak.

1237

01:
19:33,652 -- 01:19:35,085

What happens to Andy?

1238

01:
19:35,153 -- 01:19:38,611

They'll prosecute him

for corruption of a public official.

1239

01:
19:38,690 -- 01:19:39,987

He'll plead guilty

1240

01:
19:40,058 -- 01:19:44,358

to cut off all embarrassing questions,

and get three years at the most.

1241

01:
19:44,596 -- 01:19:48,259

Am I expected to sacrifice Andy

just to save Ellen Borden?

1242

01:
19:48,433 -- 01:19:50,094

To save yourself.

1243

01:
19:52,704 -- 01:19:56,868

And by the way,

how's your latest girlfriend, Angel O'Hara?

1244

01:
19:57,242 -- 01:20:00,177

How should I know?

I threw her out a week ago.

1245

01:
20:00,245 -- 01:20:01,337

Why?

1246

01:
20:01,880 -- 01:20:04,110

I understand,

on the day of the alleged murder,

1247

01:
20:04,182 -- 01:20:07,049

she took Ray Borden's phone call

at your apartment.

1248

01:
20:07,118 -- 01:20:09,552

That's a direct link to you, Frank.

1249

01:
20:09,621 -- 01:20:11,248

- Who knows about this?

- I do.

1250

01:
20:11,323 -- 01:20:13,450

- Anybody else?

- Not yet.

1251

01:
20:16,161 -- 01:20:18,925

I don't want to see Ellen Borden

take this rap, Frank.

1252

01:
20:23,835 -- 01:20:26,030

Three years isn't a long time, Andy.

1253

01:
20:26,104 -- 01:20:28,004

- You're young.

- Not that young.

1254

01:
20:28,106 -- 01:20:29,232

I've done a lot for you.

1255

01:
20:29,307 -- 01:20:32,299

You always wanted to be a gentleman.

I made you one.

1256

01:
20:32,377 -- 01:20:35,005

- We've been like a father and son.

- Cut it.

1257

01:
20:38,183 -- 01:20:42,119

I'd love to cooperate with you

and toss Andy to the wolves,

1258

01:
20:42,621 -- 01:20:45,385

but his character is so poor,

he'd probably rat on me.

1259

01:
20:45,657 -- 01:20:48,387

- There's gotta be another way out.

- No, there isn't any.

1260

01:
20:48,493 -- 01:20:52,293

Make Ellen Borden look so guilty

the prosecution can just sit on its hands.

1261

01:
20:52,697 -- 01:20:54,392

- Well, I've got to go.

- You heard me.

1262

01:
20:54,466 -- 01:20:56,696

Lose the case and lose it now.

1263

01:
20:57,369 -- 01:20:58,961

If the lid blows off, don't blame me.

1264

01:
20:59,037 -- 01:21:01,972

I don't blame people. I bury them.

1265

01:
21:02,107 -- 01:21:04,940

That reminds me, if you get trigger-happy,

1266

01:
21:05,043 -- 01:21:09,639

remember all my files relating to you

will be on their way to the DA.

1267

01:
21:17,255 -- 01:21:19,348

He was bluffing.

1268

01:
21:20,258 -- 01:21:24,251

Sure, but why did he say it now?

1269

01:
21:30,569 -- 01:21:34,665

Andy, I think Mrs. Borden

needs a new lawyer.

1270

01:
21:44,783 -- 01:21:47,251

He's coming out. Been with Garland.

1271

01:
21:47,319 -- 01:21:50,288

Too bad. He was a good DA.

Best we ever had.

1272

01:
21:50,355 -- 01:21:51,720

He had a touch.

1273

01:
22:02,934 -- 01:22:05,994

- What happened?

- No deal. Let's go.

1274

01:
22:15,246 -- 01:22:16,838

A tail if I ever saw one.

1275

01:
22:43,642 -- 01:22:45,906

Turn down the next street. It's shorter.

1276

01:
22:46,144 -- 01:22:49,307

- It's not much of a street.

- It'll do.

1277

01:
23:05,730 -- 01:23:07,960

Right at the next corner.

Speed her up a little.

1278

01:
23:08,033 -- 01:23:09,796

What is this? A driving lesson?
