Illegal Page #7

- Well, I tried to make restitution.

- Restitution, a paltry 50,000.

554

00:
36:34,575 -- 00:36:36,600

I restored 60,000.

555

00:
36:43,718 -- 00:36:46,710

Well, naturally,

there was the attorney's fee.

556

00:
36:50,091 -- 00:36:53,219

$10,000 for your part

in this criminal affair?

557

00:
36:53,527 -- 00:36:55,722

No, for the knowledge of a lifetime.

558

00:
36:57,198 -- 00:37:00,565

Fine pair. A thief and a blackleg lawyer.

559

00:
37:02,103 -- 00:37:05,800

Oh, by the way, Mr. Smith,

how's Mr. Garland?

560

00:
37:07,575 -- 00:37:09,338

- Who?

- Frank Garland.

561

00:
37:10,711 -- 00:37:12,645

The name's not familiar to me.

562

00:
37:12,813 -- 00:37:16,374

Now, Mr. Smith, even the schoolchildren

know about Frank Garland.

563

00:
37:17,385 -- 00:37:20,445

Oil wells, breweries,

trucking companies, hotels,

564

00:
37:20,521 -- 00:37:23,888

investment companies, such as yours,

to say nothing of vice...

565

00:
37:23,958 -- 00:37:26,984

Sir, are you suggesting

in any way that I am...

566

00:
37:27,061 -- 00:37:30,497

Oh, no, no. Not at all, Mr. Smith.

567

00:
37:43,411 -- 00:37:46,710

Then it's all settled?

They won't prosecute me?

568

00:
37:46,814 -- 00:37:47,803

No.

569

00:
37:48,282 -- 00:37:50,842

You're not gonna keep all my 10,000...

570

00:
37:52,820 -- 00:37:57,154

Your 10,000? You stole it. I earned it.

571

00:
37:57,224 -- 00:37:58,782

But it's all I've got.

572

00:
37:58,859 -- 00:38:00,986

You wouldn't take everything I have,

would you?

573

00:
38:01,062 -- 00:38:03,326

I can't get work now. What can I do?

574

00:
38:03,397 -- 00:38:07,265

You can get out of town and keep going

before you lose more than money.

575

00:
38:10,037 -- 00:38:13,063

Then it's true about Garland?

576

00:
38:13,240 -- 00:38:16,107

E.A. Smith and Company

is one of his fronts.

577

00:
38:16,177 -- 00:38:18,077

Better get a move on, Parker.

578

00:
38:26,587 -- 00:38:28,646

- Hinkel?

- Yes, sir.

579

00:
38:29,757 -- 00:38:30,746

Hinkel,

580

00:
38:31,359 -- 00:38:34,328

I think we can pay cash

for that wedding present now.

581

00:
38:52,380 -- 00:38:55,543

All things change except this office.

582

00:
38:58,386 -- 00:39:00,377

- Hello, Ray.

- Hello, Mr. Scott.

583

00:
39:00,454 -- 00:39:04,481

Sorry I'm late, Mr. Ford, but I didn't get

your message until a few minutes ago.

584

00:
39:04,558 -- 00:39:06,355

I think you know Mr. Smith.

585

00:
39:06,727 -- 00:39:09,321

Do you need me for anything else

right now, chief?

586

00:
39:09,397 -- 00:39:11,331

No, I'll catch you later, Ray.

587

00:
39:12,533 -- 00:39:16,196

Mr. Scott, this gentleman accuses you

of having committed a felony

588

00:
39:16,270 -- 00:39:18,033

in the sum of $10,000.

589

00:
39:18,105 -- 00:39:21,700

On the contrary,

I saved his corporation $50,000.

590

00:
39:21,942 -- 00:39:24,536

Mr. Smith is the one

who has violated the law.

591

00:
39:24,612 -- 00:39:26,876

Me? Me?

592

00:
39:27,348 -- 00:39:30,511

In the penal law there's a crime known

as compounding a felony.

593

00:
39:30,584 -- 00:39:33,382

- Would you like a definition?

- What does he mean?

594

00:
39:33,854 -- 00:39:37,255

Compounding a felony is roughly defined

as concealing a crime.

595

00:
39:38,059 -- 00:39:39,583

But that's what he did.

596

00:
39:39,660 -- 00:39:42,094

An attorney is not bound to make known

to the authorities

597

00:
39:42,163 -- 00:39:44,529

a crime confessed to him by his client.

598

00:
39:44,965 -- 00:39:48,833

In fact, he's prohibited from doing so

as a privileged communication.

599

00:
39:49,537 -- 00:39:51,266

Is that correct, Mr. Ford?

600

00:
39:51,906 -- 00:39:53,237

That's the law.

601

00:
39:53,674 -- 00:39:57,906

When Parker made restitution through me

a part of the funds,

602

00:
39:58,145 -- 00:40:00,136

did you agree not to prosecute?

603

00:
40:00,381 -- 00:40:04,112

- I... Well, I...

- Did you, Mr. Smith?

604

00:
40:05,986 -- 00:40:06,975

He did.

605

00:
40:08,689 -- 00:40:10,054

And in writing.

606

00:
40:19,500 -- 00:40:22,162

Mr. Smith, you should have taken

legal advice.

607

00:
40:22,236 -- 00:40:24,864

There's nothing I can do for you. Nothing.

608

00:
40:27,541 -- 00:40:29,634

I'll take this up with the Mayor.

609

00:
40:30,478 -- 00:40:32,139

I'll take this up...

610

00:
40:36,317 -- 00:40:40,117

Mr. Scott, I'm not going to pretend

that I approve of your procedure.

611

00:
40:40,321 -- 00:40:43,518

It was legal and in my client's interest.

612

00:
40:44,825 -- 00:40:47,157

What more can you ask of an attorney?

613

00:
40:50,197 -- 00:40:51,994

- I'm sorry.

- Ellen.

614

00:
40:52,233 -- 00:40:54,292

I didn't know you were still here.

615

00:
40:54,368 -- 00:40:56,199

I was hoping I'd see you.

616

00:
40:56,504 -- 00:40:58,301

- How are you?

- Fine.

617

00:
40:58,839 -- 00:41:01,034

We miss you, Vic.

You promised to drop over.

618

00:
41:01,108 -- 00:41:03,668

And I will, but I've had my hands full.

619

00:
41:04,111 -- 00:41:06,443

Too full, Mr. Ford seems to think.

620

00:
41:06,514 -- 00:41:10,280

Mr. Scott seems to forget very quickly

that he once sat at this desk.

621

00:
41:10,384 -- 00:41:12,818

Well, you're wrong. I'll never forget it.

622

00:
41:14,421 -- 00:41:18,482

However, if you want to lock horns

with me, maybe you'll wish I could.

623

00:
41:20,194 -- 00:41:22,628

Every time you sit there

and have a thought,

624

00:
41:22,696 -- 00:41:25,722

just remember I sat there

and had it before you.

625

00:
41:30,137 -- 00:41:31,331

Bye-bye.

626

00:
41:34,842 -- 00:41:38,642

- Mr. Scott, my name is Andrew Garth.

- Yes?

627

00:
41:38,712 -- 00:41:42,671

I believe you know the gentleman

I'm associated with, Mr. Frank Garland?

628

00:
41:42,883 -- 00:41:44,214

Yes, I've heard the name.

629

00:
41:44,285 -- 00:41:47,049

He wondered if you could drop by

and see him.

630

00:
41:47,221 -- 00:41:50,315

Now, why would Frank Garland want

to see me right out of the blue?

631

00:
41:50,391 -- 00:41:52,916

It's not exactly out of the blue, Mr. Scott.

632

00:
41:53,994 -- 00:41:57,486

My office hours are from 9:00 to 5:00.

Tell him to phone for an appointment.

633

00:
41:57,565 -- 00:42:01,467

Mr. Garland would like you to come

to his office, Mr. Scott. Now.

634

00:
42:02,303 -- 00:42:04,464

What if I'm too busy to go?

635

00:
42:04,872 -- 00:42:06,863

Nobody's that busy.

636

00:
42:09,243 -- 00:42:12,110

- You may be right.

- I am, Mr. Scott.

637

00:
42:14,181 -- 00:42:16,411

Beautifully tailored suit, Mr. Garth.

638

00:
42:17,785 -- 00:42:21,016

I suppose you wear suspenders.

I mean braces.

639

00:
42:21,455 -- 00:42:24,356

VICTOR:
Yeah, just as I thought, braces.

640

00:
42:48,449 -- 00:42:50,349

(PIANO PLAYING)

641

00:
42:51,318 -- 00:42:53,445

Tell the boss we're here,

will you please, Miss Worth?

642

00:
42:53,520 -- 00:42:55,579

Mr. Garland asked me to remind you

to take care of the errand
