:29:07
l'm so sorry.
:29:09
That's the one part of me
that still sort of functions.

:29:14
We don't have to talk about it,
do we?

:29:19
No.
:29:21
They say she was with me that
night, but l swear to God...

:29:25
Swear to something
you believe in, bud.

:29:28
l swear on my mother's grave
Nina left me alive and unharmed.

:29:32
That her name? The whore?
:29:33
Why do you call her that?
:29:36
Dog shit by another name
smells just as foul, pal,

:29:40
and it sticks to the bottom
of your blue suede shoe

:29:43
no matter what
you call it, okay?

:29:45
You've stepped into
something nasty.

:29:47
You want me to clean it up.
:29:49
l want you to find out
what happened to her

:29:51
after she left me...
and to prove nothing bad

:29:54
happened to her
from my hands.

:29:55
But it did.
:29:57
What?
:29:59
Wouldn't that be the way
her mother would see it?

:30:02
Her mother,
for Christ's sakes?

:30:05
You just swore on your mother's
grave, Mr. Binney.

:30:09
l'm not hiring you
:30:11
for a mouthful of cant
and humbug, Mr. Dark.

:30:16
Maybe the cops are fixing
to fry you, Binney.

:30:19
Maybe you're playing
some deeper game.

:30:25
You're not a
nice guy, Dark.

:30:27
Ah, but you'll pay me,
Binney...

:30:29
and you'll pay me double
for the cant and the humbug.

:30:33
Period.
:30:35
Part of the service, period.
:30:38
