:44:25
Here. Hold on
to this cup.
:44:28
Let's see if we can't
make some sense for once.
:44:30
Now, George, everything that
happened to you happened...
:44:33
because they thought you could
lead them to Larry Cravat.
:44:36
- Why?
- Because they figured Cravat had the money.
:44:38
Right. And when Anzelmo told you
Cravat was a murderer...
:44:41
he said that because
he wanted to make a deal.
:44:43
- For some of the money, he'd clear Cravat.
- Yeah.
:44:47
And he didn't even insist
on seeing Cravat.
:44:50
If I'm the only contact between them
and two million dollars...
:44:52
they certainly want to
keep me alive.
:44:54
Yet, twice tonight
somebody tried to kill me. Why?
:44:57
Because you were getting close to something
more important than two million dollars.
:45:00
You were getting close to whoever murdered
that man on the dock three years ago.
:45:04
Shh!
:45:06
Chris, honey.
Honey, listen.
:45:09
Conroy was crazy
for three years.
:45:11
They staked out a man to watch him,
to wait for him to be well enough to talk.
:45:14
Then I got to him.
They tried to kill me before I could.
:45:17
When that missed, they had to kill Conroy.
They couldn't take the chance.
:45:20
They sacrificed the money
to shut his mouth for good.
:45:23
The way it turned out, they brought
the poor guy to his senses long enough.
:45:28
What are we going to
do about it?
:45:30
We're going to go trade in Larry Cravat
on a murderer. Come on.
:45:39
- Going so soon?
- We just came in to be saved.
:45:42
There's more to it
than that, young lady.
:45:44
- I, uh, wonder if you could do me a favor, sir.
- Gladly, my boy.
:45:48
This suitcase, could you call a messenger
and have him deliver it to police headquarters?
:45:51
- Police headquarters?
- It's important.
:45:53
It's the personal property
of Detective Lieutenant Donald Kendall.
:45:56
He's the one
with his hat off.
:45:58
I know Lieutenant Kendall,
young lady.
