1:17:00
Well, you getting things in shape
for the treasury boys?
1:17:03
Hello, Jeff. I've been sort of
expecting you.
1:17:07
Well, let's get down to business.
Start all over again, right?
1:17:10
- You have some papers of mine.
- All right, you take the frame off me.
1:17:14
You pin the Eels murder on Joe.
1:17:17
Sure. Sure.
1:17:20
I get a modest settlement. Say...
1:17:23
Oh, say 50,000.
1:17:25
That should be enough for me
to spend my waning years in Mazatl"รก"n.
1:17:29
Not Acapulco because I'd keep
thinking about you, Kathie.
1:17:32
Up there in the women's prison
in Tehachapi.
1:17:34
It won't be too bad.
Hills all around you, plenty of sun.
1:17:39
You make me nervous.
1:17:41
You'll be happier if you let the cops
have her. That's what you'll have to do.
1:17:45
Somebody's gotta take the rap
for Fisher's murder. It's not gonna be me.
1:17:49
Wait a minute.
1:17:51
- I'm not framing any woman.
- When did you reform?
1:17:55
I wouldn't try it, Whit.
You're out of shape.
1:17:57
- Besides, it's not a frame. She shot him.
- He was gonna kill you.
1:18:01
See, Whit? Self-defense. A cinch to beat.
She might not even have to do time.
1:18:05
I'll say you killed
him. They'll believe me.
1:18:07
Do you believe her?
1:18:11
Go on, Kathie, tell him about Joe.
1:18:13
What about Joe? Where is he?
1:18:15
Last time I saw him,
he was in the East Walker River.
1:18:18
I didn't send him after Jeff.
It was his own idea.
1:18:23
- Did you kill him?
- He slipped and fell.
1:18:26
When I got there, it was too late.
That's a mean river.
1:18:30
He was trailing you?
1:18:31
Well, you don't go fishing
with a.45 in your hand.
1:18:34
But stop worrying about it.
It makes everything simple.
1:18:36
A dead man? Fish him out.
Stick a note in his pocket. Suicide.
1:18:40
He couldn't stand living
with what he had done.
1:18:43
Don't look so stricken, Whit.
You'll get over it. I did.
1:18:47
But you talk it out if you want to.
I'll be waiting in there.
1:18:50
Oh, one thing, Kathie:
1:18:52
Did it take much persuasion
to make you say I killed Fisher?
1:18:55
Come on. Feed my ego.
Tell me he beat you.
1:18:59
Tell me he had to drag
every word out of you.
