:58:08
- Yes?
- "He isn't there."
:58:11
He isn't?
:58:13
- Did you go in the apartment?
- "Yes."
:58:14
But he must be there.
:58:17
Thank you.
:58:30
- "Hello?"
- Joe Stephanos, please.
:58:32
He isn't here.
:58:34
Then leave word for him to call
Miss Carson's apartment right away.
:58:42
Was there a slip-up, baby?
:58:47
Did you send your friend up there
to find Eels dead?
:58:50
- No, Jeff.
- Tell me.
:58:53
- Tell me.
- Don't, Jeff.
:58:55
- Don't what?
- I don't want to die.
:58:56
Neither do I, baby.
But if I have to, I'm gonna die last.
:58:59
Something slipped up, didn't it?
:59:01
They told you they'd knock him off,
and haven't done it, have they?
:59:04
They haven't because I tipped him off.
He blew.
:59:07
- He's all right?
- Didn't you want him to be?
:59:09
Yes. Yes, because if he dies,
they'll say you did it.
:59:13
Oh, you're wonderful, Kathie.
You're magnificent.
:59:16
- You can change sides so smoothly.
- Don't, Jeff. You're hurting me.
:59:21
I'm almost getting it.
:59:22
Very pretty.
:59:24
Whit wants Eels out of the picture
and to square an account with me.
:59:27
Two birds together.
So I come to town with an address.
:59:30
A redhead takes me up to visit
the chump who has to go.
:59:33
I have a drink, leave my prints around.
:59:35
I leave and somebody gets him.
:59:37
Eels dies and the tax papers...
:59:39
...they were in the briefcase
that Meta took, weren't they?
:59:42
The papers go back to Whit.
I'm the fall guy.
:59:45
There's only one thing missing:
:59:46
The plant.
:59:48
What was there to give me a motive?
I wouldn't kill a guy for a martini.
:59:52
- Tell me, Kathie.
- They made me sign it.
:59:54
- Sign what?
- An affidavit.
:59:55
- Go on.
- I couldn't help it, Jeff.
:59:57
They made me sign it.
I swear I couldn't help it.
