: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.

:41:01
Took salary from me
while she was spying for him.

:41:04
- Miss Porter is your girl, isn't she?
- Yes.

:41:06
Does that let her out?
She's your alibi, your only alibi.

:41:10
I don't think I'll say any more
without my lawyer.

:41:13
All right, you can go now.
You too. But stay where I can find you.

:41:18
Good luck, Nick.
:41:23
- What really worries me is that jockey.
- Yeah. Still dead, huh?

:41:28
But since I've got two murderers to
catch, it's nice to have one in the bag.

:41:31
Five dollars will get you 10
there's only one murderer.

:41:34
- There's no connection.
- I'm still betting there's one murderer.

:41:37
Well, this is one bet I'll win.
:41:39
Sorry, Clarke, I'll have to take you
downtown. You too, Miss Ford.

:41:42
You can't arrest her.
She's done nothing at all.

:41:45
She let you in, son.
That gives her credit for an assist.

:41:48
- Riley!
- Yes, sir?

:41:50
Stay with the body
until they take it away.

:41:52
Come on, folks.
:41:53
- Chin up. I'll split that 5 with you, Paul.
- Nick, you can just mail me the 10 bucks.

:41:59
In a way, I'm responsible
for Paul's being in this jam.
