1:29:01
...you caught up with him
and killed him...
1:29:04
...leaving your friend Paul Clarke
to take the rap.
1:29:07
You can't mean this, Nick.
It's nonsense, every word of it.
1:29:11
You were clicking beautifully
until we released Paul...
1:29:14
...and used the accidental death
of the jockey for bait.
1:29:18
Accidental death?
1:29:20
Yes. Goldez wasn't murdered.
1:29:22
He shot himself by accident.
1:29:25
But we let it stand as a murder.
1:29:27
And we spread the news
that whoever had killed Barrow...
1:29:30
...had also killed the jockey.
1:29:32
We said we were looking
for one murderer.
1:29:35
Then, major, you did just what
Lieutenant Abrams said you would do.
1:29:40
Yeah. What was that?
1:29:43
You tried to frame someone else
to fit that picture.
1:29:46
So you picked
on poor little Rainbow Benny...
1:29:49
...because he'd been mixed up
with jockeys and crooked races...
1:29:52
...and to the police, he might seem
like the double killer.
1:29:55
You strangled him. And in his fireplace,
you planted Stephens' ledger...
1:30:00
...which contained the records
of the syndicate's crooked deals...
1:30:03
...including your rake-off.
1:30:05
Of course, you carefully burned the ledger
so that only the cover remained.
1:30:09
You removed Benny's bulletproof vest...
1:30:12
...so the police would never know that
he'd been living in fear of his life.
1:30:15
And then you strung him up to make it
look like a suicide...
1:30:18
...which would have closed this case.
- Nick, you must be mad.
1:30:21
You can't prove a word of this.
1:30:23
Major, you said last night
that you'd visited Benny before.
1:30:27
Why, yes, I did.
1:30:29
- When was the last time you visited him?
- Why, a week ago.
1:30:32
A week ago. Then that's how it was
that last night you could lead us...
1:30:36
...directly to his apartment?
- Why, yes, I remember the way.
1:30:39
But that wasn't the way a week ago.
1:30:42
That was the way
only after 7:00 last night.
1:30:44
I don't know what you're talking about.
1:30:47
Rainbow Benny moved
from apartment 32A to apartment 25C...
1:30:52
...at 7:00 yesterday evening.
The janitor just said so.
1:30:55
If you hadn't visited Benny for a week,
how did you know...
1:30:58
...that he was in 25C
when you led us there last night?
