00:00Higgins?
00:06Can't live like this.
00:09Two more of these and I can afford those new hunting boots.
00:14What's wrong?
00:15I requested a raise.
00:17Guess they said no.
00:19And you're surprised?
00:20I can't believe it.
00:21I've given my life to this place.
00:24I've heard there were no raises until next year.
00:26I have a family. Mouths to feed.
00:28What does that matter? Your wife's a moving picture stock.
00:31She doesn't think she should be spending her money on the family.
00:34She says I'm the man.
00:35I see.
00:36No, Roberts, you don't.
00:41I've been here for years,
00:42and yet I'm only making 50 cents a week more than you.
00:45Have you thought about getting a second job?
00:48I've had nightmares about it, but yes, I have.
00:51Let's keep considering.
00:53There's plenty of options here.
00:54Take a look.
00:57Night soil collector?
00:58You can do that.
00:59No.
01:01Uh, Roberts.
01:03Please.
01:05Just trying to help.
01:19Sure that's secure?
01:21I think so.
01:22You're not getting paid to think.
01:23Is it secure or not?
01:25It's secure.
01:27Nope.
01:27All right, hop on.
01:46That's it for the night.
01:50You don't talk much, do you?
01:54It's good.
01:58You can come back tomorrow if you want.
02:00So I passed the test, then?

10:14i'm with
10:15you on this one murdoch the desk job is making me feel old and i don't like the feeling
10:41so
10:46so
11:04That's horrible news.
11:07Archibald was a dedicated husband.
11:09Is that so?
11:10And was your sister a dedicated wife?
11:14She was with me the day her husband died.
11:16That doesn't answer the question.
11:20Please, we need the truth.
11:26She went out that evening.
11:28She thought I didn't know.
11:30Where did she go?
11:37As the detective said, I think it's time for the truth.
11:45I'm sorry to hear that.
11:47How long has it been since your husband went missing?
11:49Three days now.
11:51I see.
11:52Can you provide a photograph?
11:53I cannot.
11:56I...
11:56How long do I have to wait before I can declare him dead?
12:03Excuse me?
12:04I would like to declare him dead so that I can get on with my life.
12:09I'll see what I can do.
12:13Roberts.
12:14Henry.
12:15How about the double life?
12:17It's increasingly complicated.
12:19Where's Detective Murak?
12:20In his office with the Chief Constable.
12:24So it appears that Mrs. Fisk has been less than faithful.
12:27If we're to believe the sister.
12:29I'm inclined to.
12:30As am I.
12:32What are you hanging around for, Higgins?
12:35I took another job.
12:38Are you still showing up here on time?
12:39I have been.
12:41Well, then I don't have a problem with it.
12:42In fact, I applaud the initiative.
12:45There is something else, posters.
12:50I think I've seen a murder.
12:52You think?
12:55Well, I found a dead body with a knife sticking in it.
12:57Where?
12:58In the chest, sir.
13:00The body, Higgins.
13:01Where's the body?
13:01Oh, in a warehouse in the boot of an auto.
13:04Take me there.
13:05I...
13:05That's just the thing, sir.
13:07They don't know I'm a policeman.
13:09What's the job?
13:10I'm working for an auto towing company,
13:12but I don't think their practices are all above board.
13:16Henry, are you telling us that you've been breaking the law?
13:20Well, I prefer to think of it as working undercover.
13:24Working undercover?
13:25Under whose authority?
13:26Mine.
13:27Yours?
13:28Well, not at first.
13:30But once I thought something fishy was going on.
13:32Well, let's bring in whoever's working.
13:34I wouldn't do that, sir.
13:36Oh, is that so?
13:38Then what exactly would you do?
13:39Well, someone is at the head of this organization, sir.
13:43Let me stay in there and I'll find out who.
13:45How do you know all this, Henry?
13:47One of the men working at the warehouse is an old friend of mine.
13:50I don't believe anyone there is a killer,
13:52but I can find out who they're working for.
13:54I hate to say it, but he has a point.
13:57And we do have a man on the inside.
14:00Need I remind the two of you
14:03that Constable Tucker worked undercover for us
14:06and he ended up dead?
14:07Are you sure you're up to me, Higgins?
14:10I am.
14:11Good.
14:12Well, you can also get a list of all the automobiles
14:14that are currently impounded.
14:15Alderman Atkins has been complaining about it.
14:17And, Henry, I'll need to see that body.
14:20None of the men show up until after dark.
14:22Sir?
14:23Mr. Anderson's here.
14:25Right, thank you.
14:26Sir, if I pull this off, would you consider a race?
14:29We'll talk about it.
14:31If you're not dead.
14:35Detective Murdoch.
14:36Wilmer Anderson, Elmridge Hotel.
14:39You wanted to talk to me?
14:40Yes, please.
14:41Come in.
14:41Have a seat.
14:47What can I do for you?
14:49We wanted to ask you a few questions about one of your frequent guests.
14:54A Mrs. Prunella Fisk.
14:56I'm sorry, but it's the hotel's policy not to release private information about hotel guests.
15:02And it's my policy to jail people who don't cooperate with the police.
15:06She comes in every second week with her husband.
15:09Her husband?
15:10And that's what she says.
15:12And this husband?
15:13What does he look like?
15:14He's a tall black man.
15:16Very handsome.
15:24What are you doing here?
15:26The shift doesn't start for two hours.
15:31I'm just looking at the autos.
15:35Why?
15:36I'm thinking of buying one.
15:39Maybe one like yours over there.
15:43What are you doing here so early?
15:44Boss wanted something from the office.
15:48There's still so many cars here.
15:50Will people come to claim them?
15:52Junkers that aren't worth anything, we let the owners know, but...
15:55Ones that are cherry?
15:57Well, what can I say?
16:00They go missing.
16:03You steal them?
16:06If they're worth stealing.
16:10Look, I'm not proud of it, Henry.
16:12But I got six mouths at home and one on the way.
16:15And besides, if you got money for a nice auto, you got money for another one.
16:21Look.
16:23If you don't like it, I understand.
16:27But I'd get out now.
16:30My wife has steak tastes.
16:33And I've just got a sausage budget.
16:37We're providers.
16:39We do what we do to get by.
16:43See you in a couple hours.
16:46Oh, Henry.
16:47Yes?
16:48You've seen how easy these beasts are to steal.
16:51Why would you want to buy one?
17:02Steak tastes and sausage budget.
17:05It was the first thing that came to mind, sir.
17:07Where's the body?
17:08It's just over here.
17:14It was in here, sir.
17:17That's definitely blood.
17:19I told you.
17:20This trunk smells like bleach.
17:24It's all right.
17:24I'll find out what happened to the body, I promise you.
17:32Chief Constable.
17:33Oh.
17:34Did you know that Mr. Fisk was only 15 years older than me?
17:38And he was of ill health.
17:40What are you saying, sir?
17:41Well, ill health.
17:43Wife playing around with the help.
17:45Bullets of the temple.
17:47Maybe he did himself in.
17:48You could hardly blame him.
17:50Well, sir, that is possible.
17:51But if he had taken his own life, wouldn't we have found a gun with the body?
17:55I suppose so.
17:57What's the story with the poor sod that Higgins found?
18:00Well, sir, the body was gone.
18:01But I did find blood inside of the automobile.
18:04So the body had been there.
18:06Splendid.
18:07So what good does that do us now it's not there?
18:10Sir, it's not ideal, but Henry does assure me that he'll make it right.
18:14Oh, that fills me with optimism.
18:18Poor old bugger.
18:19Throws a birthday party for his wife and a week later she kills him.
18:23Allegedly.
18:23Well, let's see if we can make a change in that little town.
18:26Bring her in.
18:28Detective, can't see running into you here.
18:32What?
18:36Bill Watson.
18:38You arrested me some years back?
18:41Armed robbery.
18:42Amongst other things.
18:44Well, look, I'm a free man now.
18:46I did my time.
18:47I've turned my life around.
18:48Oh, good.
18:49Good for you.
18:50I want you to know that I am done with the snoochie-boochies.
18:56Excellent.
19:00Snoochie-boochies.
19:05Long way from Gaspé, isn't it, Henry?
19:09Who would have thought we'd end up here in this stink hole?
19:12Ah, you're doing all right.
19:14Speaking of stink, what happened here?
19:17Somebody cleaned up the place.
19:18I keep telling Tyler there to quit bringing sardines to work.
19:21I like sardines.
19:24No one else does.
19:26Any trouble with Graves' man earlier?
19:29It looks like boss got the word out.
19:32You ever come by here?
19:34Who?
19:35This boss.
19:37I'd like to meet him.
19:39You don't want that.
19:40Okay, you want to work here, you do your job, you collect your pay.
19:44Don't ask questions.
19:46That right, Floyd?
19:46It's not that bad.
19:48It's true, though, isn't it?
19:51The owner come and claim that car we picked up on my first night?
19:54Something like that.
19:55What do you care, anyway?
19:58You heard what he said about the questions.
20:05Well, there's no point denying it, is there?
20:09I did love Archibald, but there was something lacking.
20:13Worn out like an old shoe, was he?
20:15He was a good and decent man.
20:17That you and your lover, Mr. Woodley, decided to kill.
20:20We did not.
20:22On my word.
20:24I have admitted my philandering,
20:26but both Sherman and I were at the hotel the night Archibald was killed.
20:29One of you could be covering for the other.
20:31I'm telling the truth.
20:32Archibald and I may have stopped sharing intimacies,
20:35but he loved me more than anything in the world.
20:38Why should we believe you?
20:42Did you love him?
20:43Did you love him?
20:47I still do.
20:50I always will.
20:58Hey, you want a lift?
20:59Oh, uh, I'd like to make it home alive.
21:02You don't trust my driving.
21:03I don't trust your drinking.
21:06Light waste.
21:07It's nothing.
21:10Are you sure?
21:11Don't worry.
21:12It's all right.
21:13I'll take it easy.
21:22Briar.
21:23Briar?
21:25Briar?
21:27Briar, are you all right?
21:36Help!
21:38Help!
21:40Help!
21:42Help!
21:49Henry reported it last night.
21:51Two bodies in a week, both on Higgins' watch.
21:55Perhaps it's time to end this.
21:57But, sir, Henry has yet to identify whoever is in charge of this organization.
22:01Everyone in that lot is guilty of theft.
22:04Maybe we pull him out and arrest whoever we can while we've still got the chance.
22:07Maybe so.
22:09Or we could let Henry persuade his friend to give up his boss.
22:13Oh, speak of the devil.
22:14Please, sirs.
22:15Hey, I want to see this through.
22:18You were nearly shot.
22:20You're in league with a bunch of killers.
22:21That's just it, sir.
22:22I don't think Floyd is behind any of this violence.
22:24I don't think that he's a killer.
22:26Have you gone soft, Higgins?
22:28Just because you held hands when you were seven years old?
22:30Sir, if the time comes and I have to lock Floyd up, I will.
22:33But not for a murder he didn't commit.
22:35Sir, if Henry believes he can handle himself,
22:39then we should give him a chance to arrest whoever is behind all of this.
22:43Fine.
22:44But he's on your conscience, Murdoch.
22:46I've got a dodgy feeling about all this.
22:48Thank you, sirs.
22:49I won't let you down.
22:54Mr. Fisk's financial records.
22:58Oh, my.
23:00Archibald broke, is he?
23:01Well, yes.
23:03And it appears the bank was set to foreclose on his home next month.
23:09So if the two lovebirds murdered the old man for his fortune,
23:12they're in for a rude awakening.
23:14I'd like to bring the two of them in.
23:16See how they react to this news.
23:18Hmm.
23:19Hmm.
23:33Hmm.
23:35Hmm.
23:39Hmm.
23:40Hmm.
23:41Hmm.
23:41Hmm.
23:42Hmm.
23:45Hmm.
23:46Hmm.
23:46Hmm.
23:47Hmm.
23:47Hmm.
23:48Mrs. Fisk, are you now ready to tell me the truth?
23:52I already told you, Detective.
23:54Neither I nor Sherman had anything to do with Archibald's murder.
23:58Mr. Woodley, I asked you if there was anything going on between Mr. and Mrs. Fisk,
24:04and you lied to me.
24:06The two of you were carrying on an affair.
24:08Can you blame me for not being forthcoming about all this?
24:11That is immaterial, and it does nothing to lessen my suspicions.
24:15The hotel staff must be able to confirm this.
24:18The clerk did confirm that you checked into the hotel,
24:22but one or both of you could have returned home and murdered Archibald Fisk.
24:28Why on earth would we do that?
24:29To gain access to his money.
24:30Archibald was always very generous. There is nothing he'd deny me.
24:35Well, that may have been true in the past,
24:37but there was very little left to give at the time of his death.
24:41A number of poor investments left him destitute.
24:47Well, that explains it.
24:49I beg your pardon?
24:50It explains why Archibald was behaving the way he was.
24:54Sullen, sad, inconsolable.
24:57How he must have burdened himself with this.
25:00It's true.
25:01He was in poor spirits months before his murder.
25:03It's why I took up with Sherman in the first place.
25:07Archibald wasn't the man I married anymore,
25:09but that doesn't mean we killed him.
25:13Constables are searching your home now for the murder weapon.
25:17And you are to remain in our cells until it's recovered.
25:26Sir?
25:28Sir?
25:31Chief?
25:32What is it?
25:34Oh!
25:36Has no one ever told you to knock before you enter a superior's office?
25:40Sorry, sir.
25:41I didn't expect to see you sleeping on the job.
25:44Watch it, lad.
25:46Oh, he's just resting my eyes.
25:47Of course, sir.
25:48Oh, typical.
25:50He's not replaced my decanter.
25:52I bet it's terrible tea.
25:55What is it you want?
25:56I've been working on a missing person's case,
25:58and I think it may relate to what Henry's doing.
26:00How's that?
26:01It turns out the missing man spent some time in our cells a few years back for car theft.
26:04Sir?
26:06I know this man.
26:08You do?
26:09Yes.
26:10This was the dead man I found in the trunk at the warehouse.
26:13This is Aldous Graves.
26:14He runs a cartage company.
26:16Well, used to.
26:17What have you got there?
26:19The knife that killed him, sir.
26:21He found it in Griswold's auto.
26:22Give it here.
26:24So your friend killed his competitor to consolidate power.
26:28Sir, I know it looks that way.
26:29It looks that way because it is that way.
26:31I wouldn't be surprised if Graves' gang were behind Cecil Breyer's killing.
26:35A retaliation.
26:36Let me speak to Floyd, sir.
26:38I'll speak to Floyd.
26:39Roberts, bring him in.
26:40And see if you can track down Graves' gang as well.
26:42Yes, sir.
26:44He gains you've got 12 hours to find the boss.
26:47I don't need you ending up as a cadaver as well.
26:56Tell us what you know about Aldous Graves.
27:02Graves?
27:04What about him?
27:05Well, you tell me, sunshine.
27:07You're the one who killed him.
27:09Looks familiar, doesn't it?
27:12This knife was found in your automobile.
27:14It was also seen in the body of your rival, Aldous Graves.
27:20Who was found in the back of a stolen automobile in your lot, no less.
27:24What are you on about?
27:25I thought you wanted to talk about Cecil Breyer, a good man.
27:31Shot down in the street.
27:33By someone who likely worked with Mr. Graves.
27:36Likely revenge for you killing their boss.
27:38I've never seen that knife in my life.
27:40I didn't kill Graves.
27:42We received an anonymous tip that you were the last person seen with Graves before he was found dead in
27:48your car lot.
27:49This is a set-up.
27:52Well, I'm being set up.
27:54I find that hard to believe.
27:56And I imagine a judge won't swallow that rubbish either.
27:59Now, if you're so innocent, tell us about your boss.
28:04I don't know anything about him.
28:16You're headed for the gallows, Griswold.
28:18Take my advice.
28:20Stop talking.
28:34Henry.
28:37Thank God you're here.
28:38They're trying to pin a murder on me.
28:40Do they question you?
28:43Floyd, I work here.
28:45At the station house.
28:47Wait, you what?
28:49I'm a policeman.
28:51You're a copper.
28:54How could you?
28:58I took you in.
29:00I gave you a job.
29:01I vouched for you.
29:03And now you set me up for a murder I didn't commit.
29:07But some old friend.
29:09If you didn't do it, then you should tell us what you know.
29:12Oh, you have some nerve, you know that?
29:17All I know is I met Graves the night he went missing.
29:22We made a deal.
29:24Neither of us were keen to spill any more blood.
29:27So he ceded some territory, and I handed over some trucks.
29:30And then what?
29:32And then that was it.
29:34We shook hands and went our separate ways.
29:36I had no reason to kill the man.
29:39We're not looking to give you a life sentence for stealing.
29:42We only care about the murders.
29:44Please.
29:46Think about talking to Detective Murdoch.
29:54You know, Briar warned me.
29:57He said we couldn't trust everyone in the crew who said there might be a rat.
30:03And I never thought for one second that it was you.
30:16I don't know.
30:16Ah, Robbins.
30:18We're looking for Graves' men, but they've been in the cells of Station House Number One
30:21for three days now.
30:22For what?
30:23They were in a drunken bra at Logan's Inn.
30:26Ah, so they weren't the ones who shot Cecil Briar?
30:28I'm afraid not.
30:30Ah, Murdoch.
30:31The young Mrs. Fisk and the driver.
30:33Any luck?
30:33Possibly.
30:34It appears Archibald Fisk had a substantial life insurance policy.
30:39So they knew he was broke, and they killed him to get at the policy.
30:42That sounds like motive to me.
30:44I'm still not sure, sir.
30:46Mrs. Fisk seemed genuinely distraught at the news of her husband's passing.
30:51And I don't think she knew he was out of money.
30:54Also, we don't know where the gun is.
30:59Ah, the great detective.
31:01Again, just the man I was after.
31:03You know this fella made up?
31:05He's put me away.
31:06Three separate times, I might add.
31:09Sir, this is Slippery Bill Watson.
31:12A career criminal.
31:13Well, that's quite the reference.
31:15Slippery no more.
31:16Mute Robert and I have parted ways.
31:18Mute Robert?
31:20Yeah, he was a tubby accomplice of mine.
31:22But now I'm walking the straight and narrow.
31:24Because I found Christ.
31:27What can we do for you, Mr. Watson?
31:29Oh.
31:31Whoa!
31:32Wait, wait, it's not loaded.
31:33All right, funny story, this.
31:35I'm taking my first few steps of freedom, and temptation falls out of the sky and hits me in the
31:41head.
31:43I'm afraid I don't understand.
31:44You and I both.
31:45I mean, how does a gun fly out of the sky, and why?
31:48Listen, sunshine, tell the truth.
31:50What really happened?
31:51Detective, you're a man of faith, are you not?
31:53I am.
31:53So you know, the good book says, be sober, be vigilant, because the devil, as a warren lion, walketh about,
32:03seeking whom he may devour.
32:05First Peter 5, verse 8.
32:07Yes, but the good book doesn't say, believe in lying career criminals who tell ridiculous tall tales now, does it?
32:13Sir?
32:14Um, look at this.
32:18A.F.
32:20I believe this gun may have belonged to Archibald Fisk.
32:24With the old Murdoch, how's that possible?
32:27What, isn't it obvious?
32:32God delivered it to me.
32:41God delivered it.
32:42And if you believe that nonsense, then I've got 20 acres in Timbuktu to sell you.
32:46Even if it is a lie, why walk in here and hand us the gun?
32:50And why the outrageous tale about it falling from the sky?
32:53Man's crackers.
32:54Too many billy clubs up the side of the head.
32:56And if he carries on with his cockamamie story, he's going to get another one.
32:59I've spoken with the warden at the dawn.
33:02Mr. Watson could not have murdered Archibald Fisk because he was in custody at the time of the murder.
33:07So another dead end.
33:09No pun intended.
33:13Thank you for your time, Mr. Watson.
33:15You're free to go.
33:16Peace be with you, detective.
33:18And also with you.
33:20And especially you.
33:23Ah, so now we're all nice and warm and friendly.
33:26But he still doesn't explain how that gun fell from the sky.
33:31Let's have a closer look at the area where he claims it fell on him.
33:42Orders are clear.
33:43We're to keep working until things get sorted.
33:45We shouldn't even be here.
33:48Briar's dead.
33:49Griswold's behind bars.
33:50I mean, who knows?
33:50Maybe the cops are watching us right now.
33:52Shut it, Tyler!
33:53You want to tell the boss you're too scared to work?
33:56That's what I thought.
33:58I'll handle all messages between us and the boss.
34:02Henry, you hit the streets tonight.
34:04Tyler, you're in the shop.
34:07And why is it that we're taking orders from you?
34:10We've lost two men, sure.
34:12That should just mean that the shares increase with the risk.
34:15You haven't been here long enough to have a cup of coffee.
34:19What I want is to meet with this boss of yours.
34:22And I'm not afraid of him like the rest of you Sally's.
34:24He must have a few screws loose.
34:26Now, Tyler, if a tough guy here wants to meet the boss,
34:31he's in the building out back.
34:33I'll show him.
34:34Well, let's go for a walk, Henry.
34:48You know, Henry,
34:50you might want to keep your nose clean and your mouth shut.
34:52I'd hate for you to be a problem like Briar was.
34:55A problem with you and me?
34:57Well, when a general hands down orders,
34:59a soldier follows them.
35:01Briar and Griswold, they thought they were too smart.
35:03What did Griswold do?
35:05He didn't take orders.
35:06The boss, he wanted Graves out of the picture.
35:08Instead, Griswold and Graves made a deal.
35:10Well, what's the problem with that?
35:12The boss didn't want a peace agreement.
35:14He wanted Graves eliminated.
35:16So I did what needed doing.
35:18And Briar?
35:19What of him?
35:20Well, the boss has Griswold and his loyalists.
35:23They can't be trusted anymore.
35:28They got a goal.
35:31I'm sorry.
35:35That means you too, Henry.
35:46What have you got for me, Murdoch?
35:49A theory.
35:50I'd prefer a solution.
35:51I believe they may be one and the same.
35:54So what's all this?
35:55These items were found near where Mr. Watson said
35:59that this gun fell out of the sky.
36:01What did they prove?
36:03Well, you may have been right, sir.
36:06Of course I was.
36:08Right about what?
36:09Sir, I believe Archibald Fisk took his own life.
36:14Have a look at these Chinese lanterns.
36:25Archibald Fisk was ill and dying and penniless.
36:31But he dearly loved his wife.
36:35He had a substantial insurance policy.
36:39Enough to provide for Prunella well into her old age.
36:46But the insurance would not pay out if he took his own life.
36:51So he had to make it appear as though it were a murder.
36:59Once the shot was fired, the lantern lifted off and carried away any evidence that his death
37:07was self-inflicted.
37:14Well, that's that then.
37:16I knew I was right.
37:23You're not going to meet the boss tonight.
37:26You're going to meet your maker.
37:42Look.
37:58Oh, my God.
38:14All right?
38:36Scruggs!
38:38Scruggs, you're dying!
38:39You have nothing left to lose!
38:41Tell me who the boss is!
38:43Scruggs, tell me who the boss is!
38:48Get it!
39:06Come to deliver me to the gallows?
39:10No.
39:12No gallows, Floyd.
39:14Scruggs killed Graves and Briar.
39:16He framed you.
39:21Oh, just like I said.
39:23Why?
39:23Well, I always believed you.
39:26I knew you weren't a killer.
39:27I'm your friend, but...
39:29I am a constable first.
39:34Just tell me who your boss is.
39:36I don't know.
39:38I just take my pay.
39:40And that's the truth.
39:43God, what a god-awful uniform.
39:46But then again, a rat in clothes is already a ridiculous prospect.
39:51You can call me a rat if you like.
39:53But this rat just spared you the noose.
39:56And with any luck, you'll be released from this place in time to see your children grow up.
40:03If you're waiting on a thank you, I wouldn't hold my breath.
40:08It's fine.
40:09I did my job.
40:10That stinks enough.
40:13All right, if you know anything about the boss...
40:16Oh, Henry.
40:18Every man's gotta have a code.
40:21I chose this life.
40:23I'll do my time.
40:29Henry.
40:31We do what we do to get by, right?
40:35That's right, Mike.
40:43He took his own life?
40:46I'm afraid so.
40:50Why the ruse?
40:53Your husband had a significant life insurance policy.
40:57With you as the beneficiary.
41:00But it never would have paid out had his death been deemed a suicide.
41:07So he made it look like murder.
41:09Yes.
41:12And I am duty-bound to reveal the truth in the matter.
41:19Of course.
41:23I wish I had been worthy of his love.
41:26Excuse me.
41:27What are you doing?
41:52Do you need me?
41:55Sir, well, as a man of honor, I'm going to give you a raise of an extra 15 cents an
42:00hour.
42:01I never thought I'd say this, but you've earned it.
42:04Thank you, sir. Ruth will be most pleased with me.
42:07You know, sir, I spoke to Floyd about his boss, and Detective Murdoch offered him full immunity, but he still
42:12wouldn't talk.
42:14So there is honor among thieves after all.
42:17Oh, it's a shame you couldn't convince your mate to talk, because I would have made the raise an even
42:2120 cents an hour.
42:23Well, sir, do you fancy a tipple?
42:25Too late.
42:25Oh, you can't talk about this, sir. It's on me.
42:49The police shut us down.
42:51Sir, I see.
42:53What happened?
42:55Griswold's old friend turned out to be a constable at Station House 4.
43:02Blasted place.
43:05Are we opening up shops somewhere else?
43:08I could round up if you man did.
43:11That won't be necessary.
43:14It appears this avenue of revenue is closed to me.
43:20That is, until I get rid of that damn Station House.
43:26Once and for all.
43:29And mark my words, I intend to.
43:44That is, until I get rid of it, I'll see you next time.
43:47I'll see you next time.
43:48I'll see you next time.
43:52I'll see you next time.
44:02I'll see you next time.
44:04I'll see you next time.
44:05I'll see you next time.
