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?

1:31:01
Your partner, Mr. Stephens,
settled this case...

1:31:04
...when he said he stood outside
Benny's apartment and saw the stairs.

1:31:08
Well, you cannot see the stairs
from apartment 25C.

1:31:11
You made only one misstep, major,
but you left a big, bloody footprint.

1:31:17
Well, lieutenant, I should say...
1:31:22
- Stop this shooting, or I'll drop Charles!
- No, major!

1:31:24
Nick! Nick, look out!
1:31:26
So that's what became
of the bulletproof vest.

1:31:28
That, Mr. Charles,
will be your last deduction.

1:31:30
Yes, I almost closed the case
with Rainbow Benny...

1:31:33
...but now I'll close it with you.
Paul, you've got your scoop...

1:31:36
...but you won't be able to write it.
I've got two more bullets.

1:31:39
One for each of you. We'll dissolve
our partnership right now.

1:31:42
You're the smartest, Mr. Charles,
so you're first.

1:31:44
- Run, Nicky, run!
- Grab him, men!

1:31:47
Let go of me!
1:31:50
- Run, Nicky! Run!
- Grab him!

1:31:54
Get off me!
1:31:58
- Run, Nicky!
- Get out of the way!
