:50:02
You were very decent to me, Mr. Pritchett.
:50:04
You trusted me and I let you down.
I'm sorry.
:50:08
Why did you do it, Arthur?
:50:11
It's hard to explain, even to myself.
:50:15
I'd been separated from my girl
for five years...
:50:18
and she'd moved into a new world,
way out of my reach.
:50:21
To take her out for the evening
cost two weeks of my salary.
:50:25
Late collections had come in,
your money was in my pocket.
:50:28
I didn't care about anything
except holding on to her.
:50:31
It was my last chance. I lost anyway.
:50:35
- You admit you did wrong?
- Of course I do.
:50:37
- You're willing to make restitution?
- Tomorrow morning, I promise.
:50:43
Mr. Pritchett,
this kid took a lot of chances for us.
:50:46
Don't you think
we ought to take one for him?
:50:50
You know, it's funny you should say that.
:50:52
I was talking to my brother-in-law
just the other night, about my nephew.
:50:55
I made exactly that point.
I was saying that the...
:50:57
Yes, and you were right, Mr. Pritchett.
Arthur, wait outside.
:51:00
Sit down, Mr. Pritchett.
:51:04
Now, I can see you're a man
who knows his own mind, Mr. Pritchett.
:51:14
This way, please.
:51:21
- How do you do, Mrs. McLeod?
- What's this about, Lieutenant?
:51:23
Have a seat.
:51:25
- Where's my husband?
- He'll be here in a few minutes.
:51:27
- He hasn't been hurt?
- No.
:51:30
- I had a terrible feeling that he...
- Nothing like that. He's all right.
:51:34
You're sure?
You're not trying to break it easy?
:51:36
You'll see him in a few minutes,
I give you my word. Please, sit down.
:51:42
Then, what is it? What's wrong?
:51:45
A prisoner here was assaulted
by your husband.
:51:50
- Jim wouldn't do that.
- He did.
:51:52
This could be very serious, Mrs. McLeod.
:51:54
This could cost your husband his job.
He could even wind up in jail.
