- He was a fool.
- They're takin' him seriously.
They came to him.

1:03:05
No, I mean Sanchez.
Dynamite's no way to kill.

1:03:08
- Did I ever tell you
the smart way to kill?
- Sure. Strangling.

1:03:12
- Mm. Clean. Silent.
- You told me all that.

1:03:16
- That's how my wife died.
- Finish that coffee.

1:03:18
- I don't usually talk about my wife.
- Never when you're sober.

1:03:22
- She was strangled, Pete.
- I know, I know.

1:03:25
Binding cord. She was
workin' up at the packin' plant.
The killer had it right to hand.

1:03:30
Smart. You don't leave fingerprints
on a piece of string.

1:03:34
- Bartender, what do I owe you?
- That half-breed done it.

1:03:37
- We all knew that, but
I was just a rookie cop.
- La cuenta.

1:03:40
- [Bartender] Four seventy-five.
- I followed after him,

1:03:44
eatin' my heart out
tryin' to catch him.

1:03:49
- But I never did.
- [Cash Register Rings]

1:03:51
Then in some mud hole in Belgium the
good Lord done the job for me... 1 91 7.

1:03:56
Pete, that was the last killer
that ever got out of my hands.

1:04:00
- Where're you goin' now?
- To Senor Vargas' meetin'.
He wants to fight dirty, okay.

1:04:05
- That's the kind of fight
he's gonna get.
- [Laughing]

1:04:08
- Perhaps...
- Perhaps what?

1:04:10
- Perhaps he honestly thinks
that Sanchez is guilty.
- There's no "perhaps" about it.

1:04:15
- Hank Quinlan is an honest cop.
- There are all kinds of policemen.
- Oh!

1:04:19
I don't have to tell you that.
A few take bribes.

1:04:22
- Hank Quinlan never took
a dollar in his life.
- Most are honest, yes.

1:04:25
But even some of the honest men
abuse their power in other ways.

1:04:30
Come in, Hank.
1:04:34
Well, l...
1:04:37
- I don't know whether
I'm welcome or not.
- I want you to hear this.

1:04:41
Uh... Huh!
I've heard it already.

1:04:46
Your friend Vargas has some very special
ideas about police procedure.

1:04:50
He seems to think it don't matter
whether killers hang or not,

1:04:52
- So long as we obey the rule books.
- I don't think a policeman...

1:04:56
- Should work like a dogcatcher
putting criminals behind bars.
- No?

1:04:59
- No. In any free country,
a policeman is to enforce the law,
- [Scoffs]
