:31:00
I'll make up a story
for myself.
:31:02
I got away with it before.
I can do it again.
:31:04
I'll go where people will believe me,
where they'll leave me alone.
:31:07
Where I won't have to answer questions
and ask 'em.
:31:09
As long as you believe yourself and leave
yourself alone and not ask yourself questions.
:31:13
I'm tired of being pushed around.
The war's over for me.
:31:16
- I don't have to live afraid anymore.
- Except when you're by yourself.
:31:19
And alone.
:31:21
I've got to find that guy.
Even if he's the heel of the world...
:31:24
I've got to find him,
because he knows about me.
:31:29
What am I gonna do,
Christy?
:31:32
You'll keep swinging.
:31:35
Something's got to break.
:31:37
Who's that?
:31:39
Take it easy.
Maybe this is the break.
:31:41
I forgot to tell you.
I phoned Mel Phillips while you were out...
:31:44
- and asked him to come over.
- Why?
:31:48
Because I want him to
beat you up some more.
:31:54
- Hi, Mel.
- Hello, Chris. What's the trouble?
:31:56
It's in there.
:32:02
George Taylor,
Mel Phillips.
:32:04
This is the character
I phoned you about...
:32:06
the one that keeps falling through doors
with me on the other side.
:32:09
- Hello, Taylor.
- Hello.
:32:11
Some hot coffee, Mel?
:32:13
- Thanks, Chris. No sugar.
- I know.
:32:15
I understand your trouble started
at one of my places. The Cellar.
:32:19
- Do you want to tell me what happened?
- It's all right.
:32:23
You may have heard
I don't like that sort of thing.
:32:26
I've kept the hoodlums out of my clubs,
and they're gonna stay out.
:32:29
- I'd appreciate your telling me what happened.
- It's all right. Forget it.
:32:31
I called Mel before
you told me about things.
:32:35
Thank you, Chris.
:32:37
If you make up your mind to stay around,
I'm sure he can help you.
:32:43
All right, Taylor.
Will you help me?
:32:47
There's a reason
I was so late getting here, Chris.
:32:49
The police called
just after you did.
:32:51
One of my bartenders
was found in the vacant lot.
:32:54
- They figure he was dumped out of a car.
- Which bartender?
:32:57
- John.
- Was he the one I talked to?
