1:24:00
Save this fight for the arena, boys.
1:24:02
But if I was milking a rich guy and
Barrow was making me sweat for it...

1:24:06
...maybe then I'd...
- Sure, I looked for Barrow that night...

1:24:09
...to get my bracelet back.
But I swear I didn't find him.

1:24:12
Even if I did, even if I killed him,
would I take that book?

1:24:15
- It didn't mean anything to me.
- It might have, as a hold on Stephens.

1:24:19
Blackmail, I think it's called.
1:24:20
Yeah? And I suppose I could strangle
Benny and hang him up.

1:24:23
- No, but your chauffeur could.
- Baku, he's trying to frame us!

1:24:26
Hold it, son.
Let the big boys play with your knife.

1:24:30
Maybe they'll give you
a nice little pair of cuffs.

1:24:33
Well, now, where were we?
1:24:34
Benny was hanging from the ceiling.
1:24:37
Oh, yes. Yes.
1:24:39
Because Benny had seen
who killed Barrow.

1:24:43
Macy, you said you were not disturbed
about Barrow's quitting.

1:24:48
Why did you threaten him?
1:24:50
- You did hear that, Molly?
- Yes, I did.

1:24:52
She should talk. I caught Barrow pawing
her that night right in my office.

1:24:56
- And she was sore.
- Is that the truth?

1:24:59
Well, yes. Barrow always said things.
1:25:02
He was angry because I wouldn't
pay any attention to him.

1:25:05
Isn't she sweet?
1:25:07
Did Paul know that Barrow
was annoying you?

1:25:09
No, I didn't tell him. I was afraid
he might do something rash.

1:25:13
Is this all news to you, Paul?
1:25:16
But Molly did tell you that Whitey had
had a falling out with his bosses?

1:25:19
Well, why didn't you try talking to him?
1:25:21
Nick, I didn't think it'd do any good.
Whitey and I were enemies.

1:25:24
I told Major Sculley,
hoping he could do something.

1:25:27
But Whitey was killed
before anybody could get to him.

1:25:30
Except the murderer.
1:25:32
Mr. Stephens, Benny was
your betting commissioner, wasn't he?

1:25:36
Yes, Nick, he was,
and we can prove that.

1:25:39
And representing Stephens, he did do
some bribing of jockeys, didn't he?

1:25:43
If you're trying to hang the jockey's
murder on me, save your breath.

1:25:46
You and the flatfoot claim whoever
killed the jockey killed Barrow.

1:25:49
All right. You can rule me out
of that too.

1:25:53
I didn't go near the track that day,
and I can prove it.

1:25:55
And I haven't killed a jockey
in weeks, really.
