:17:01
- Find anything?
- Only them.
:17:04
They don't look like nothing,
don't lead nowhere.
:17:06
They're footprints, all right.
:17:08
Our man had rags
wrapped around his feet.
:17:10
You know a lot about them things, mister?
:17:13
Yes. Back home I'm a Boy Scout.
:17:15
- What's happened, Dudley? What is it?
- It's Jesse.
:17:18
- He's been killed.
- No.
:17:20
You'd better go back to the house.
:17:21
- Why did they do an awful thing like that?
- Freddie, take her back.
:17:27
Is this the kind of thing
that's been going on?
:17:29
More or less.
Some of it's silly, but it's nasty, too.
:17:32
What do you think is behind these tricks?
What's he up to?
:17:35
Trying to scare the Colonel
into coming across with some money.
:17:38
Could any of the people on the inside
be working with him?
:17:41
I don't think so.
:17:42
Servants aren't much good
but I imagine they're honest.
:17:44
- Does MacFay really owe him anything?
- Not the way we look at it. You see...
:17:48
his job was to get results...
:17:50
without bothering the Colonel
with too many details.
:17:52
We were trying to put over... Well,
call it a public utilities enterprise...
:17:56
and some details were pretty illegal,
were traced as far Church.
:17:59
- But not as far as the Colonel.
- Right.
:18:00
In other words, if everything goes okay,
he gets the profits.
:18:03
- lf not, Church goes to jail.
- That's about it.
:18:06
And that's your job with the Colonel now?
:18:08
Something like that.
:18:09
How could they do
a horrible thing like that?
:18:11
I've had him ever since he was puppy.
:18:13
How do they get in here?
That's what I want to know.
:18:16
How do they get in? Well?
:18:17
I'm afraid the bathhouse
is badly damaged.
:18:19
I don't care about bathhouses or dogs.
What are you going to do to protect me?
:18:23
If they can get in here to do this,
they can do anything.
:18:26
You've got to help me, Charles.
:18:29
- Have you tried talking to Church?
- Yes, didn't do any good.
:18:31
I used to work under him.
He thinks I had a hand in sending him up.
:18:35
How about making a bargain with him?
:18:36
- After all, he did do 10 years in jail.
- I won't pay him a penny.
:18:40
He can burn the house down
before I pay him a cent.
:18:42
Maybe he's right, Father.
Maybe it would be better if you...
:18:44
I thank you to keep out of it.
When I want your opinion, I'll ask for it.
:18:48
Don't you dare talk to her that way.
:18:49
You should be thankful
she cares whether you live or die.
:18:52
- You little...
- You can't bulldoze me any longer.
:18:54
I don't care how much money you have.
:18:56
That may interest Dudley.
But it doesn't mean a thing to me.
:18:58
Look here, Freddie.
:18:59
I know you have a crush on Lois
but don't make any cracks like that.
