1:26:01
He killed Phil.
1:26:03
Here, come on.
1:26:05
Get out of the way. Break it up.
1:26:06
- That's enough. Break it up.
- All right.
1:26:08
- Come on, never mind.
- Break it up!
1:26:10
Nickie, do something.
1:26:12
Yes, of course.
1:26:14
All right, break it up.
1:26:16
Here, now, you spitfire!
1:26:20
There. Sit down there.
1:26:22
You asked for it.
1:26:25
- Did somebody drop this chip?
- Yes. It's mine.
1:26:30
Good.
1:26:31
One more session like that, I'll call up
the wagon and drag you all downtown.
1:26:35
- May I say something?
- Go ahead.
1:26:39
Well, I have a hunch
if we find out who murdered MacFay...
1:26:44
we'll find out who murdered Church.
1:26:46
Maybe it'll clear things up
if we start from the beginning.
1:26:48
Tell me this first.
1:26:50
If you were trying a man for murder...
1:26:53
and he suddenly produced an airtight alibi,
what would happen?
1:26:56
He'd go free.
1:26:57
What if after you freed him, you found
he'd planned the whole thing...
1:27:00
- what would you do?
- Nothing. Nothing at all.
1:27:03
I see. Well, thank you very much.
1:27:05
- You mean you'd let him get away with it?
- Well, we'd have to.
1:27:08
You can't try a man
for the same crime twice.
1:27:11
If he's acquitted, he could boast about it
and we couldn't touch him.
1:27:14
- And that was Church's plan.
- What was?
1:27:16
He advertised himself as the murderer,
while his accomplice did the dirty work.
1:27:21
He takes a house on Long Island.
1:27:22
He threatens MacFay,
terrorizes the household.
1:27:25
After the murder, he disappears...
1:27:27
still calling attention to himself
as the killer.
1:27:29
When things look blackest for him,
he walks in here, inviting me to take him.
1:27:34
His plan was to get tried for that murder,
spring a last-minute alibi...
1:27:37
and walk out of that court scot-free.
1:27:39
You mean that he had this alibi
all the time?
1:27:42
Yes, but he didn't want us to know it.
1:27:44
That's why Dum-Dum beat up a drunk
last night when he tried to tell me.
1:27:47
- You did?
- Was that it? Was that why you hit him?
1:27:50
I hit him because he start a fight.
1:27:53
Maybe Vogel will tell us.
He didn't want it known either.
1:27:55
What are you trying to pull?
1:27:57
Your men jumped him, too.
1:27:59
Were you in on this?
