1:37:00
You don't think anything can...
can happen, do you?
1:37:04
- Happen?
- I'm foolish, I suppose.
1:37:08
Maybe it's because I'm wishing so hard.
1:37:11
Mama, have you ever wished
for something so hard...
1:37:14
Nothing's going to happen.
1:37:18
Nothing.
1:37:28
Yeah?
1:37:30
- Captain Moore to see you, Inspector.
- Send him right in.
1:37:35
- Anything on the missing reporters?
- Nothing, Inspector. Not a thing.
1:37:38
The newspapers are crucifying us.
1:37:40
You hear Winchell last night?
1:37:43
- Yeah?
- The commissioner's on the phone.
1:37:45
There he is again. Fourth time today.
1:37:48
Hello, Commissioner.
1:37:50
No, but I've got Captain Moore
in my office right now.
1:37:53
- No, not a thing yet.
- What do you mean?
1:37:56
I'm not gonna be made the goat
for the whole department.
1:38:00
- What is it?
- The mayor's on the phone.
1:38:03
- Didn't you tell him I was out?
- He didn't believe it.
1:38:07
Hold on a minute.
1:38:09
Hello. Yeah, Chief. I was just talking
to Inspector McCrary. Not a thing yet.
1:38:14
I have had a supersufficiency of
"not a thing".
1:38:17
I want some action, and I want it quickly.
Every editor in town is in my office now.
1:38:22
And you'll get a front-page editorial in
my paper every day till something's done.
1:38:26
It is a very embarrassing situation
when a reporter is not safe on our streets.
1:38:30
If the city can't do anything,
perhaps the state can.
1:38:33
We'll take it up
with the governor tomorrow.
1:38:36
I want you to find
those three reporters, Commissioner,
1:38:39
or I will be forced
to demand your resignation.
1:38:44
McCrary, you dig up those three reporters
or I'll have to get myself another boy.
1:38:52
Captain, you have 24 hours
to find those reporters.
1:38:55
If you can't, you'll find yourself on the
other end of a broom at the horse barn!
