:50:01
to meet a sudden
and violent end. The first...

:50:03
was Thomas Finney,
Under-Secretary of Commerce...

:50:03
You did. You're terrific.
:50:06
who fell to his death from
his fifteenth-floor office...

:50:08
just a month ago.
:50:09
Do you think there's
a connection between these deaths?

:50:12
Take the money and run.
What the hell's keeping you here?

:50:15
The FBI is looking into it.
Ask them.

:50:17
The only remaining witness
is the man who...

:50:20
rightly or wrongly has given
his name to this whole affair...

:50:21
"Age cannot wither her."
It's like the play was written for you.

:50:22
Secretary Christopher Bailey.
:50:25
Curious.
:50:26
What did the Secretary
think of all this?

:50:28
-The Secretary has no worries.
-Sir, if he has no worries...

:50:30
What was the other reason?
:50:31
why then has he retreated
to his place on Long lsland?

:50:33
The other reason...
:50:35
Far from retreating he's busy
preparing his attack...

:50:38
on the questions he will
be asked by the committee.

:50:39
is to decide whether I should go
to a party tomorrow night.

:50:41
I'd call them accusations
more than questions, sir.

:50:44
The Secretary has no worries.
:50:46
But the public does. Particularly
in view of the rumors about...

:50:49
rigged contracts, bribery,
the international Mafia, especially...

:50:50
Party?
:50:54
those dealing with the illegal
use of the transport union....

:50:54
Yeah, on Long lsland.
:50:57
pension funds.
:50:59
Could you tell us
anything about that?

:50:59
Secretary Bailey.
:51:01
Gentlemen, I deny all of these
rumors and allegations...

:51:05
directed against
my organization.

:51:05
Do you know Secretary Bailey?
:51:07
Our hands have always been...
:51:10
and will continue
to remain clean.

:51:10
No.
:51:11
In my entire life
I've fought to keep...

:51:13
But I was invited anyway.
:51:15
the American labor .
movement clear of anything.

:51:18
Him I know.
:51:19
... forced speculation, criminal
elements or corrupt politicians.

:51:24
Well, if you don't know each
other, why were you invited?

:51:25
If any mistakes
have been made...

:51:27
He's still giving out
the same old bullshit.

:51:27
I don't know.
:51:30
If any guilt at all exists
in this situation...

:51:30
I thought you might know why.
:51:33
Me?
:51:34
it lies elsewhere.
:51:35
Why me?
:51:41
Because you know him.
:51:45
-Who is it?
-It's me, Deborah, David.

:51:47
No, David.
:51:49
-Can I come in?
-You wait just outside. I'll call you.

:51:53
Okay, I'll be right here.
:51:58
-What does Bailey want from me?
-You came here to ask me that?
