:46:01
Negro officer?
:46:05
Yeah, well, he, uh...
He comes from up North, you see.
:46:08
And he was, uh, kinda...
:46:14
- passin' through...
- If it wasn't for him,
:46:17
your impartial chief of police would still
have the wrong man behind bars.
:46:23
I want that officer given a free hand.
:46:26
Otherwise, l will pack up
my husband's engineers...
:46:34
and leave you...
:46:38
to yourselves.
:46:47
Miz Colbert, now don't you
worry about a thing.
:46:49
Believe me, we're gonna
take care of everything.
:46:54
Bill?
:47:01
I wanna see you come through
this now, you hear?
:47:05
Even if we have to
step on Endicott's toes?
:47:08
Even that.
:47:10
But do it fast.
:47:14
All right.
:47:16
Now, Bill, how about
this here Negro officer?
:47:18
Miz Colbert seems
to have confidence in him.
:47:21
Oh, he ain't nothin'. Some kind of a...
:47:25
some kind of a homicide expert.
But l don't need him.
:47:30
You mean you don't want him.
But you do need him.
:47:35
Now look, Bill.
Suppose he turns up the killer.
:47:39
He has no police power here. He's gonna
have to hand him over on a platter, right?
:47:44
That's right.
:47:46
And if he fails, you're off the hook, cos it
was Miz Colbert's idea in the first place.
:47:52
See what l mean?
:47:54
Oh, yeah.
:47:56
Works out all the way around, Bill.
For all of us.
