Transcript
00:00Do you win?
00:02On the contrary, and you?
00:04Oh, I'm cleaned out.
00:05But I still have a feeling I'm going to win tonight.
00:07I'll try just once more, and if I win, I'll give you some money.
00:10All right.
00:20Well, what do we do now?
00:21Try to win everything back.
00:23But how?
00:24All my jewels, they're in half a chance.
00:26Say, wait a minute.
00:29You've got your sapphire.
00:30Come on, let's go see how much you give you on it.
00:32With the money, I'll bet we can win back every penny tonight.
00:34You really think so?
00:36I've got a lucky feeling.
00:38Well, were you lucky?
00:40Unfortunately not.
00:42However, the evening is still young, and we need some more of the wherewithal.
00:45Go on, show him your ring, Lily.
00:46How much does it worth?
00:47Oh, your credit's good, Miss Harding.
00:49$2,000, ma'am.
00:57There, there, there.
01:05All right, good luck.
01:07I'll keep my fingers crossed.
01:12$2,000 for that Harding girl.
01:15And what about that other one?
01:17He's okay.
01:18The Thompson family's good for any amount.
01:26The Thompson case must have been an inside job, Mr. Davis.
01:38The lock of the safe from which the jewels were stolen is not damaged.
01:41The thief must have had an exact knowledge of the combination.
01:44Did you give a detailed description of the stolen jewels to all the jewelers?
01:48According to the list Mrs. Thompson gave me, the following jewelry is missing.
01:53Three diamond bracelets, two eight-carat diamond rings, one platinum bracelet,
01:57one antique brooch and ring, one string of pearls, and one diamond studded bracelet.
02:05Not bad.
02:06I'm afraid that's all we could get from the Thompson girl.
02:09What about the Harding girl?
02:11She hasn't been here since she lost all that money.
02:13She writes me romantic letters.
02:15Let's see.
02:17Can't come anymore, since I owe so many gambling debts.
02:21I dread the moment my parents are going to find out.
02:24It's so sweet of you to offer everything you have to help me.
02:28I would love to see you again, maybe at some other place,
02:33because I don't dare to enter the Angel's Host again.
02:39How much does Miss Harding owe us?
02:41$13,000.
02:43How much does Miss Harding owe us?
02:45$13,000.
02:48Get her over here.
02:50Yes, sir.
02:57$13,000?
03:00Until Monday?
03:02But today is Saturday.
03:05I thought you'd give me unlimited credit.
03:07I'm not the boss. There's nothing I can do.
03:09Then let me talk to the boss, Chan.
03:12Nobody talks to the boss.
03:14You said you'd help.
03:16Me? Don't be ridiculous.
03:18Where would I get $13,000?
03:20Then what am I going to do?
03:22That'll be enough to cover the debt.
03:44You want me to steal?
03:46Talk to your mother. Maybe she'll give it to you.
03:48Even if I wanted to talk to my parents, I couldn't.
03:50They aren't in New York.
03:52Well, do as you please.
03:54But the money must be here by Monday night.
03:56Otherwise, I'm afraid it'll be very disagreeable for you.
03:59You see, the boss has no sense of humor.
04:03Good luck.
