1:16:02
It'd be best for us all
if we didn't leave each other's sight...

1:16:05
...until our business has been transacted.
You have the envelope?

1:16:08
Miss O'Shaughnessy has it. Hang on to it.
1:16:10
We won't lose sight of each other.
The dingus'll be brought to us here.

1:16:14
Excellent, sir, excellent!
1:16:15
Then in exchange for
the $10,000 and Wilmer...

1:16:18
...you'll give us the falcon
and an hour or two of grace.

1:16:20
Now, let's get the details fixed, first.
1:16:23
Why did he shoot Thursby and why, where
and how did he shoot Captain Jacoby?

1:16:27
I've got to know all that happened
so the parts that don't fit are covered up.

1:16:31
I shall be candid with you, sir.
1:16:33
Thursby was Miss O'Shaughnessy's ally.
1:16:35
We believed that disposing of him
as we did...

1:16:37
...would cause Miss O'Shaughnessy to stop
and think that it would be best...

1:16:41
...to patch up her differences with us
regarding the falcon.

1:16:45
You didn't try to make a deal
before giving him the works?

1:16:47
We did. Yes, sir. We most certainly did.
1:16:50
I talked to him myself that very night,
but I could do nothing with him.

1:16:53
He was quite determinedly loyal
to Miss O'Shaughnessy.

1:16:57
So Wilmer followed him back to the hotel
and did what he did.

1:17:01
That sounds all right.
1:17:03
Now, Jacoby.
1:17:06
Captain Jacoby's death was entirely
Miss O'Shaughnessy's fault.

1:17:11
Tell me what happened.
1:17:12
Cairo, as you must have surmised,
contacted me...

1:17:15
...after he left police headquarters
last night or morning.

1:17:18
He recognized the mutual advantage
of pooling forces.

1:17:21
Mr. Cairo is a man of nice judgement.
1:17:23
The Paloma was his thought.
He read of its arrival in the papers...

1:17:27
...and remembered he had heard
in Hong Kong...

1:17:29
...that Jacoby and Miss O'Shaughnessy
were seen together....

1:17:35
Well, sir, he saw that notice and...
1:17:37
...putting two and two together
guessed the truth.

1:17:40
She had given the bird to Jacoby
to bring here for her.

1:17:43
And at that juncture you decided
to slip me a Mickey.

1:17:45
There's no place for you in our plan, sir.
1:17:47
So we decided to spare ourselves
any possible embarrassment.

1:17:52
Mr. Cairo and Wilmer and I went
to call on Captain Jacoby.

1:17:55
We were lucky enough to arrive
while Miss O'Shaughnessy was there.

1:17:59
In many ways, the conference was difficult,
but we finally persuaded...
