If you don't invite him, I won't.
:26:10
- Any leads?
- It's an inside job.
No question about it.

:26:13
- That's not what the cops say.
- They're wrong. It's inside. I can tell.

:26:17
- Are the Giants playing this afternoon?
- Yeah.

:26:19
They're playing
the Cardinals in St. Louis.

:26:22
Call my bookmaker Frankie. I want to get
a bet down. Hundred bucks on the Giants.

:26:26
- On the Giants to win.
- To win, naturally!

:26:28
What do you think, to place?
:26:30
Mr. Magruder? Oh, tilt.
:26:33
- Anything on the Kensington situation?
- It's an inside job.

:26:36
- I bet my life on it.
- You bet your life on the Giants,
too, and they're in sixth place.

:26:40
Can we talk without
the warden being here?

:26:42
Please, Miss Fitzgerald
is a part of this company now.

:26:45
We must all learn to
work together in harmony.

:26:48
What makes you so positive
it's an inside job?

:26:50
It couldn't be that smooth
unless it was inside.

:26:53
Miss Fitzgerald is suggesting,
given the magnitude of the loss,

:26:56
that we expand our investigation.
:26:58
- Meaning what?
- I appreciate the value
of intuition to a point.

:27:02
But we're moving into a decade
of scientific innovation.

:27:05
Miss Fitzgerald has suggested
that perhaps we might
get you a little help...

:27:09
by farming out part of the work
to an outside private detective agency.

:27:13
- What?
- To help you-- test the waters--

:27:16
see if a new approach
and fresh techniques make a difference.

:27:19
Don't feel threatened immediately.
:27:21
According to you, I'm only threatened
by women with high I. Qs.

:27:24
Did you hire a female detective?
:27:26
North Coast has got to get
with the progress of the marketplace.

:27:29
There's a lot of money at stake here.
:27:31
The more time passes, the colder
the trail grows. You know that.

:27:33
So if the Coopersmith Private Detective
Agency makes a contribution, then fine.

:27:37
If not, we're only out a few bucks.
:27:39
The Coopersmiths?
Those guys are like Fric and Frac.

:27:42
- They're sub-mental.
- We are moving into
a new decade, the 1940s.

:27:46
That means things are different.
:27:48
Do me a favor. Max Baer's
looking for sparring partners.

:27:51
Why don't you go down to the gym?
:27:53
You're the only person I've received
this kind of bitter resistance from.

:27:55
You're a dinosaur with your street ways
and disorganized hunt-and-peck methods.
