:08:00
Anybody. I can think of somebody
who would have every reason in the world.
:08:04
Mr. Cravat himself.
:08:07
- Did you know him?
- I-We just met.
:08:09
I was going to know him
a lot better. Anzelmo-
:08:11
The professional relationship
which I mentioned earlier.
:08:14
We are still partners,
Phyllis. Are we not?
:08:18
Don't start that now.
Don't try to mix me up.
:08:21
Till you called me yesterday,
Cravat was a name in an old phone book.
:08:24
You sent me after Taylor.
All right. I went.
:08:26
After all, I'm smart, Anzelmo. You think I'd
bring him down to that dump if I were on my own?
:08:31
- You think I'd send him to you?
- Sit down and listen.
:08:35
I was about to give Mr. Taylor
a message for Larry Cravat.
:08:39
- Then you do know-
- I said listen!
:08:47
This is what
I want you to tell him.
:08:49
That even two million dollars is of no use
to a man in the electric chair.
:08:53
Suppose he doesn't
understand the message.
:08:57
- He will.
- Suppose he says he doesn't.
:08:59
Suppose he wants to know
where you fit in.
:09:02
A reasonable question,
which I will answer.
:09:08
Mr. Cravat is wanted by the police
for a murder which occurred on Terminal Dock.
:09:12
This very dock,
three years ago.
:09:15
The murdered man was a gentleman
from the East. Mr. Steele, I believe.
:09:19
The police have evidence
that Mr. Cravat and another man...
:09:22
were on the dock
that night.
:09:24
They do not know
who the other man was.
:09:26
However, Mr. Cravat's immediate
and prolonged absence...
:09:31
has strengthened their belief
that Mr. Cravat was the murderer...
:09:34
and that the identity
of the other man...
:09:37
is relatively unimportant.
:09:39
Let's say Cravat knows all that.
He still doesn't know where you fit in.
:09:43
For a considerable amount of money,
subject to negotiation, of course...
:09:47
I will present the police with
the other man on the dock that night.
:09:51
He will confess to the murder
and free Cravat of suspicion.
:09:54
- How do you happen to know who he is?
- If he's reluctant to confess...
:09:58
the police will find
a suicide...
