1:34:02
He told us he'd had a threat
against Lois' life.
1:34:04
That was to divert suspicion from her.
1:34:06
Horn wanted to get me off the case.
1:34:08
When I went out on the grounds
looking for Asta and that knife...
1:34:11
he knew that it would be fairly safe
to take a shot at me.
1:34:14
If caught, he'd blame the darkness...
1:34:16
that he mistook me
for Church or Dum-Dum.
1:34:19
You were afraid of Horn,
afraid that he might give you away.
1:34:22
Besides, you were really stuck
on Phil Church.
1:34:24
So you let Horn go out to get me
and then you ran on ahead...
1:34:27
and warned me, so that I'd have time
to draw a gun on him.
1:34:30
Then you pushed me out of the way,
figuring that I'd shoot in self-defense.
1:34:34
Which I might have had to do...
1:34:35
but the police stepped in
and did the job for us.
1:34:37
You're guessing, saying horrible things.
1:34:39
Only way that makes sense.
1:34:41
Sense? What sense could there
possibly be in my killing Father?
1:34:44
Because you wanted his money
and you wanted it now.
1:34:46
He gave me everything I could
possibly need. Why he...
1:34:49
That wasn't your kind of life.
1:34:50
Your kind of life was the Linda Mills life
that you've been leading...
1:34:54
ever since you got the nerve to sneak out
after the folks went to sleep.
1:34:57
- Linda Mills?
- Yes, my sweet.
1:34:59
''L.M.'' for Linda Mills and Lois MacFay.
1:35:03
Linda Mills, who sleeps without pillows
just as you do.
1:35:06
Linda Mills, in whose apartment
there's a scorched spot...
1:35:09
and a bullet hole in the wall
where this was rehearsed.
1:35:11
Why, you can't mean these things.
Tell him it isn't true.
1:35:14
It's easy to prove.
We'll just take her to Mrs. Dolley.
1:35:17
When Dum-Dum comes to, he can tell us...
1:35:20
but I wouldn't advise you to wait for that.
1:35:22
Dum-Dum's a little sore at you
for killing his Mr. Church.
1:35:25
My killing Church? Now, really...
1:35:27
You found out after the murder
that he ditched you for Smitty.
1:35:30
You knew that he had you in a spot
where he could blackmail you for life.
1:35:34
So you shot him as he stood on that ledge
and threw the gun out your window.
1:35:40
You're right about Linda Mills
and all the other things.
1:35:44
I got sick of playing Little Red Riding Hood
to that old guy.
1:35:47
When Phil was trying
to get money out of him...
1:35:49
I found we spoke the same language.
1:35:51
I'm not sorry for it.
It was a chance and I took it.
1:35:53
Now, what I'm getting at is this:
I'll make a deal with you.
1:35:56
And what will you offer us, the moon?
1:35:58
You like that brat of yours, don't you?
