1:29:02
If he knew someone was following him,
he'd be frightened away.
1:29:05
Miles wasn't clumsy enough
to be spotted the first night.
1:29:07
You told Thursby he was being followed.
1:29:12
I told him.
1:29:14
I told him.
1:29:17
Yes, but please believe me.
1:29:18
I wouldn't have if I thought
Floyd would kill him.
1:29:20
If you thought he wouldn't kill Miles,
you were right.
1:29:23
Miles hadn't many brains,
but too much experience...
1:29:25
...as a detective to be caught
by a man he was shadowing...
1:29:28
...up a blind alley with his gun
and his overcoat buttoned.
1:29:30
But he'd have gone up there
with you, angel.
1:29:33
He was just dumb enough for that.
1:29:35
He'd have looked you up and down,
licked his lips and gone...
1:29:38
...grinning from ear to ear.
1:29:40
You could have stood
as close to him as you liked...
1:29:42
...and shot him with a gun you got
from Thursby that night.
1:29:45
- Don't say that!
- The police'll be here any minute! Talk!
1:29:48
Why do you accuse me...
1:29:49
It's not the time for that schoolgirl act!
We're both sitting under the gallows!
1:29:52
Now, why did you shoot Miles?
1:29:55
I didn't mean to at first, really, I didn't.
1:29:59
But when I found out
that Floyd couldn't be frightened...
1:30:02
I can't look at you and tell you this!
1:30:04
You thought Thursby would tackle Miles
and one would go down.
1:30:07
If Thursby died, you were rid of him.
1:30:09
If it was Miles,
you'd see Thursby was caught.
1:30:11
- Right?
- Something like that.
1:30:12
When Thursby wouldn't tackle him...
1:30:14
...you took his gun
and did it yourself, right?
1:30:16
When you heard Thursby was shot,
you knew Gutman was here!
1:30:18
You knew you needed another protector...
1:30:20
...somebody to fill Thursby's boots,
so you came back to me.
1:30:23
Yes! Sweetheart, it wasn't only that!
1:30:27
I'd have come back to you sooner or later.
1:30:29
From the very first instant I saw you,
I knew.
1:30:33
Well, if you get a good break,
you'll be out of Tehachapi in 20 years...
1:30:38
...and you can come back to me then.
1:30:40
I hope they don't hang you, precious,
by that sweet neck.
1:30:46
- You're not...
- Yes, angel, I'm gonna send you over.
1:30:49
The chances are you'll get off with life.
1:30:51
If you're a good girl,
you'll be out in 20 years.
1:30:54
I'll be waiting for you.
1:30:56
If they hang you, I'll always remember you.
