At 10, I went out for a sandwich,
then took a little drive.

:39:03
- Any law against that?
- Not if you got a driver's license.

:39:07
By the way, Macy,
what was the total ticket sale?

:39:10
Why...
:39:12
I should have telegraphed that one.
:39:14
Mr. Stephens, do you mind telling us
where you were from 9 to 10?

:39:18
I was with a lady, a Miss Porter.
:39:21
Nicky, do you see this laundry list
from Barrow's pocket?

:39:24
- Yeah, we'll get to it later.
- It's a woman's laundry list.

:39:27
- Well, maybe he had a wife.
- Twenty-five kimonos? That's a harem.

:39:32
I'd like to run along, lieutenant,
if you're through.

:39:34
Oh, just a minute. Bloodhound.
:39:38
Lieutenant, I think this laundry list
of Barrow's might interest you.

:39:44
Three bloomers, 25 kimonos, 10 slips...
:39:48
...five panties, 15 chemises.
:39:51
Sounds like washday at Vassar.
:39:53
That's the list that was
in Stephens' ledger...

:39:55
...the one I found in the drawer.
:39:57
Apparently the slip and the ledger
parted company somewhere.

:40:00
Just a minute, major.
:40:02
What did Hotbox pay in that race
you're investigating?

:40:05
Seventeen to one.
:40:07
See here, lieutenant.
The laundry mark is GP.

:40:10
- That could stand for Greenway Park.
- Go on, Nick. I'm listening.

:40:14
The weight of the bundle, 17.
:40:16
Well, either that's a lot of laundry,
or it's the odds on Hotbox.

:40:19
Seventeen to one.
Twenty-five kimonos.

:40:22
K. K. Maybe K for Kansas City, 25,000.
:40:26
They got some big bookies there.
:40:28
Fifteen chemises. C for Chicago?
Fifteen thousand bet there?

:40:33
- Say, now we're getting somewhere.
- Yeah, up crick.

:40:37
- Mr. Stephens.
- Yeah.

:40:38
Could this, by coincidence, be your list
of out-of-town bets on that race?

:40:42
- Keep swinging, lieutenant.
- I'd like to look into this, Nick.

:40:45
It may help the committee in its work.
:40:48
- What work?
- Work that'll put an end...

:40:50
...to your kind of vermin.
- There wasn't a book...

:40:52
...so Clarke never saw one.
- That's not true.

:40:54
I've seen him making entries.
:40:56
He and Whitey had an argument
in there tonight.

:40:58
She's Clarke's girl
and obviously a double-crosser.
