:45:01
I'm telling you,
Scalise knifed Morrison.
:45:04
He was afraid Paine
would go to the police,
:45:06
so he sent someone to finish him off.
:45:08
That doesn't stand up.
:45:10
Whoever killed Paine killed him by
accident: He only meant to slug him.
:45:14
A Scalise hood would've taken
no chances on a rumpus,
:45:17
he'd've knifed or shot him.
Yes, Benson?
:45:19
We've got Jiggs Taylor
and his daughter outside.
:45:22
Bring them in, Harrington.
Has he been talking?
:45:25
A mile a minute.
You'd think he was going to a picnic.
:45:27
I think we can
wrap the case up tonight.
:45:30
Get statements from both of them.
:45:35
- I'm Lieutenant Thomas.
- How do you do?
:45:37
How d'ya do, Lieutenant?
:45:44
I was expectin' this.
As I told the boys on the way down,
:45:47
the minute I heard Ken was murdered,
:45:49
I knew I was in for a going-over,
:45:51
having been
at the scene of the crime.
:45:54
You were all ready for us
with your story, huh?
:45:56
Won't take long.
Save you a lot of time,
:45:59
give it to you
without you havin' to pump me,
:46:02
everything that happened.
:46:04
Came down here last night around 2.15
lookin' for my son-in-law.
:46:10
You were pretty worked up, huh?
:46:13
I'll say. I told him last month
if he laid a hand on Morgan again
:46:16
I'd slap him silly.
:46:18
Go on.
Go on, let's have it all, Jiggs.
:46:23
Well, that's all there was.
:46:26
The door was unlocked,
I walk in, look around,
:46:30
nobody home, so I walk out.
:46:33
With his body.
:46:35
- Whose body?
- Paine's.
:46:38
That's sure smart figurin',
Lieutenant.
:46:41
- I tell you...
- Never mind the lies, Jiggs!
:46:44
We've got every one of your moves.
:46:46
You took the body to the river,
:46:48
knocked out the watchman on the pier
and dropped Paine in the water.
:46:51
Oh, so I knocked out
a watchman too, huh? That's fine!
:46:54
OK, now let me tell you something.
:46:57
I didn't see Paine. If I had seen him
I'd have taken a poke at him,
