40:45.600 --> 40:47.120 What motive would I have? 40:47.120 --> 40:48.120 Maybe you didn't like him. 40:48.120 --> 40:49.120 Maybe you hated him. 40:49.120 --> 40:50.120 Hate's a good motive. 40:50.120 --> 40:51.120 Why would I hate him? 40:51.120 --> 40:52.720 I hardly knew him. 40:52.720 --> 40:55.760 I only talked to him for a couple of hours. 40:55.760 --> 40:56.760 He seemed like a nice guy. 40:56.760 --> 40:58.760 You know he was a Jew?

44:07.480 --> 44:10.720 None of these men knew that or anything else about Samuels. 44:10.720 --> 44:15.680 They hadn't known him well enough or long enough to have an ordinary motive for killing 44:15.680 --> 44:16.680 him. 44:16.680 --> 44:19.920 Mitchell talked to him for maybe an hour or the others less. 44:19.920 --> 44:25.520 So it had to be something else, a motive inside the killer himself. 44:25.520 --> 44:27.200 What's going on? 44:27.200 --> 44:31.160 The killer had to be someone who could hate Samuels without knowing him, who could hate 44:31.160 --> 44:36.840 him enough to kill him under the right circumstances, not for any real reason, but mistakenly and 44:36.840 --> 44:38.000 ignorantly. 44:38.000 --> 44:39.000 You interest me, Captain. 44:39.000 --> 44:42.520 Well, once I figured that out, the rest wasn't too hard. 44:42.520 --> 44:44.240 I looked around at my suspects. 44:44.240 --> 44:48.360 I thought back over the answers I'd had tonight, some of them fit. 44:48.360 --> 44:50.560 I knew who killed Samuels. 44:50.560 --> 44:53.240 You booked him? 44:53.240 --> 44:54.920 No, not yet. 44:54.920 --> 44:57.840 I'm taking the chance that you're smart enough to know what I'm talking about. 44:57.840 --> 44:58.840 You don't have to draw me pictures. 44:58.840 --> 45:00.240 I know what you're getting at. 45:00.240 --> 45:01.240 I think you're right. 45:01.240 --> 45:02.880 What do you want me to do? 45:02.880 --> 45:05.400 Yes, I have nothing on Montgomery, nothing at all. 45:05.400 --> 45:06.880 I might never get anything. 45:06.880 --> 45:10.360 I want to take a long chance on nailing him quick. 45:10.360 --> 45:11.360 How well do you know him?

45:20.560 --> 45:21.920 No, I don't think so. 45:21.920 --> 45:22.920 He was in Monty's platoon. 45:22.920 --> 45:25.200 Just how do you think he feels about Monty? 45:25.200 --> 45:27.040 You're getting ahead of me. 45:27.040 --> 45:29.080 Well, I was hoping he didn't like Monty. 45:29.080 --> 45:30.800 I think he's scared to death of him. 45:30.800 --> 45:32.440 Is he really as dumb as Monty says? 45:32.440 --> 45:33.640 Well, he's pretty young. 45:33.640 --> 45:35.840 He doesn't always know which end is up. 45:35.840 --> 45:38.720 Monty doesn't think he's smart enough to lie. 45:38.720 --> 45:41.400 What if Leroy told Monty a fantastic story?

49:44.080 --> 49:46.100 That's history, Leroy. 49:46.100 --> 49:51.160 They don't teach it in school, but it's real American history, just the same. 49:51.160 --> 49:57.160 Thomas Finlay was killed in 1848 just because he was an Irishman and a Catholic. 49:57.160 --> 50:02.520 And last night, Joseph Samuels was killed just because he was a Jew. 50:02.520 --> 50:05.240 Do you see any difference, Leroy? 50:05.240 --> 50:08.160 Hating is always the same, always senseless. 50:08.160 --> 50:10.400 One day it kills Irish Catholics, the next day Jews. 50:10.400 --> 50:12.320 It's hard to stop. 50:12.320 --> 50:18.320 It can end up killing men who wear striped neckties or people from Tennessee. 50:18.320 --> 50:22.360 Will you tell me exactly what to say? 50:22.360 --> 50:34.360 Yep, I'll tell you exactly what to say. 50:34.360 --> 50:37.280 If it would work at all, I knew it would be just the same as if I'd been listening in 50:37.280 --> 50:38.280 on them. 50:38.280 --> 50:41.840 I already knew what Leroy was going to say, and I thought I'd sized up Montgomery well 50:41.840 --> 50:44.640 enough by this time to figure him out too. 50:44.640 --> 50:48.480 And Leroy cornered him in the hotel washroom while he was shaving. 50:48.480 --> 50:50.520 Hiya, Monty. 50:50.520 --> 50:51.520 Hiya. 50:51.520 --> 50:54.320 You heard about everything that happened, Monty?

51:05.600 --> 51:06.600 Knock it off. 51:06.600 --> 51:08.600 What's the matter, Monty? 51:08.600 --> 51:12.000 Monty, no kidding, Floyd couldn't have done it, could he? 51:12.000 --> 51:13.720 Floyd wouldn't bump anybody off, would he?

51:31.960 --> 51:34.400 Honest, Monty, I didn't know whether I ought to tell you or not. 51:34.400 --> 51:37.880 You don't want to get mixed up in anything anymore in your art, but he was acting crazy, 51:37.880 --> 51:38.880 Monty. 51:38.880 --> 51:40.760 He gave me a crazy thing to tell you. 51:40.760 --> 51:44.240 He said, tell Monty the necktie wasn't any good. 51:44.240 --> 51:46.400 What do you mean by that, Monty?
