00:05:52Alison Susie I have to talk to you about Eddie
00:05:54Eddie

00:06:10Susie mmm Eddie wanted you to have this
00:06:16Traceable oh
00:06:18Knowing Eddie I wouldn't think so would you

00:06:28Look I want an exclusive on him
00:06:32You bastards are all the same. Oh
00:06:35We liked Eddie. I don't want to tip a bucket on him. I just want to tell his story
00:06:43Look at it this way Susie a big page one send off
00:06:50You're only
00:06:54First time I hang on
00:07:01The first time I made it
00:07:04Your methods are getting worse Thomas. Yeah, I like to think so
00:07:08Comes from your warm sense of charity doesn't look mate. I promised Eddie. I'd give her the money
00:07:14Can't believe your bloody door
00:07:17Don't worry about it
00:07:19Don't worry about anything just forget it
00:07:49I
00:08:01Knew it had overcome many obstacles through his experience
00:08:04So although this is a novel in a very real champion, but it also is not
00:08:10You know what I mean?
00:08:12Let's have a look what Stu has done
00:08:14He's taken a real criminal case and he's turned it very cleverly into an indictment against the system that he believed discriminates
00:08:22against the underprivileged in our society
00:08:25Check out the title a
00:08:27killing for the crown
00:08:29Now that seems to suggest that justice has become some kind of bloodsport as opposed to a real assessment of the truth
00:08:37Although since publication some doubts have been cast upon the authenticity of Stewart's
00:08:42Information don't you think Natalie sir?
00:08:57Natalie
00:09:01Please
00:09:12Mr.. Prentice
00:09:21Do you think Stewart's book is responsible for the retrial and acquittal of James Edward Hodges
00:09:27Or do you think it was misled? I don't know
00:09:32No, of course you don't
00:09:34But then you don't know much do you?
00:09:36Since your mind really raises itself above belt level
00:09:41Anyone we know
00:09:48Well Prentice since you seem intent on discussing the artistic merits of this particular work I
00:09:56Suggest you take it directly to the headmaster. Oh shit. Oh shit. Yes. It's not mine quit hassling
00:10:10I
00:10:23Believe we were discussing Stewart's use of nonfiction as a weapon against social injustice
00:10:28I
00:10:37Morris this business with young friends. I assure you it won't happen again
00:10:42No, that's very gratifying to hear, but I don't feel that I can let the matter rest there for all consent
00:10:52And you know how deeply sorry we all feel about Claudine
00:10:57Look Morris the holidays will give you a chance to relax
00:11:02However today's actions are totally unacceptable and if it happens again

00:19:15Back at four. She said in the note
00:19:18You drink too much
00:19:20She's not with you. I have to start calling hospitals. It's Morris on his hospital rounds again
00:19:26I'll go over
00:19:28He should have pulled himself together by now
00:19:30Would you if you lost me?
00:19:33Really is Morris, isn't it?
00:19:35I
00:19:53Would as Pellegrini's not impressed with your report on the shooting at the warehouse
00:19:57Christ's sake I get fucking results down. Oh, it's just that I got a front up in the morning and answer some questions
00:20:03Just tell him the truth Derek
00:20:05These me was about to shoot. He was an evil little bugger who to kill the girl and the bloke anyway, I
00:20:12Mean, what are those tricks upstairs? No, they've forgotten what it's like out here
00:20:18It's me the high-minded stuff to the likes of student, okay

00:20:41He's guilty and every other bastard knew it
00:20:44He was set up. I
00:20:48Was set up not to mention the publishers your friends who backed you me the typist
00:20:56The barman his wife his children
00:21:00Drinks for everybody
00:21:02except him
00:21:05You said you'd wipe these
00:21:08She's so beautiful, isn't she?
00:21:12You promised

00:22:17I
00:22:24Think you've been keeping something from me
00:22:28It was so smart and smug sophisticated
00:22:33We exploited her
00:22:37You're not supposed to do it that hard
00:22:41You told me I thought you liked it
00:22:46You

00:23:26You know you don't have to work with me come off it right I really have to get home
00:23:33Yeah

00:26:21Morris
00:26:25Many books like that around Morris. Yes, I'm sure names dresses men mostly
00:26:35Oh
00:26:45In you don't be ridiculous
00:27:05Oh
00:27:35I
00:27:43Right
00:27:45Any problem no no no problem just dropped in for a friendly chat
00:27:50On your own and what do you want to chat about?
00:27:54Thought you might need some advice
00:27:56From someone who knows the traps
00:27:58That'd be you right mm-hmm
00:28:01cool for a drink I
00:28:03Believe you would
00:28:07You know you're pretty smart for a young fella
00:28:09I'm glad you think so
00:28:12But you lack one thing. Oh, yeah, what's that?
00:28:15edge
00:28:17edge
00:28:19Yeah
00:28:20Take that book of yours
00:28:23How did you feel when me old mate Hodges told you that he really had murdered his sister in law
00:28:30Wasn't hard to persuade him to tell you you know
00:28:34As a pretty good set up right I never did thank you for it. It's not too late. Oh, you'll like the story tomorrow I
00:28:42Wouldn't worry around not stupid
00:28:44No, I know you're not stupid, but you are a mug
00:28:50Tell me why
00:28:52Could have made a fortune with your book
00:28:54Not here. It's too late granted
00:28:57But overseas they lap that shit up
00:28:59sells the conscience and
00:29:02That's where you lack edge you don't follow through
00:29:06You see right money's not that important to me. Don't kid yourself
00:29:13Look Tom you still got a bright future if you remember who your mates are how could I forget?
00:29:25Got any good times

00:30:30Morning long time no see what Vivian here last night
00:30:34Was she here or wasn't she I totally haven't got a clue. It was pissed as a thought. Did you phone her last night? I?
00:30:40Was just reminiscing actually
00:30:51You said you destroyed all this
00:30:53allied I
00:30:55Went any with Vivian or myself in them destroyed. No, I'm not surprised
00:31:00Hardly the sort of thing for a leading surgeon to be doing is it?
00:31:05Dear Christ, how did Claudine ever put up with you?
00:31:09Amazing how one's friends change over the years, isn't it?
00:31:13Rather tragic actually and quite repellent
00:31:19You're a failure in every respect don't you Morris
00:31:22We're all fed up to the eyeteeth with you and your absurd fantasies
00:31:26Even to myself especially please do try and forgive me
00:31:35Right
00:31:37What do you got? Oh, it seems that Eddie and Phillips got away with quite a bit the other night
00:31:41Well, how much trouble is nobody appears to be keeping the records so they can't tell us just yet
00:31:47Not even a rough idea
00:31:51That it's a lot what the fuck's a lot there 20,000 a million a lot just a lot
00:32:15Thanks bill Tom Stewart here I believe is a call for me

00:33:23And to be serious guy Morris Martin could have been the last one to see her alive. That's it. That's enough. I'll find it
00:33:38I
00:34:08Shit
00:34:11Hello there
00:34:14Yeah, I wanted to see mr. Martin he's not there left after the policeman came did mr. Martin say when he'd be back
00:34:21He came over this morning and talked to mummy. He'll be coming back tomorrow morning. He said
00:34:25I
00:34:32Was saying right is things don't work the way they used to anymore
00:34:36And what way was that?
00:34:38The story we have got Birch is that the guy went down after the first shot not the second
00:34:42You must know what it's like out there, sir
00:34:45Maybe you don't
00:34:47But there were a lot of things happening that day wouldn't be difficult for things to get distorted in people's minds
00:34:54Tell me exactly who was it mr.
00:34:57Stansfield mr. Stansfield that saw it this way
00:35:02That'll be all for now Birch
00:35:04Very good, sir
00:35:23I
00:35:25I
00:35:27I
00:35:49My name's Morris Martin, I'm looking for mr. Seeker. I'm afraid mr. Seeker is not available. Mr. Martin. May I help you?
00:35:57I was hoping to locate my wife. I have reason to believe she's been living in the area
00:36:02I'm sorry. I haven't seen her. It's a small community. I would have known I
00:36:09See thank you
00:36:27I
00:36:57I
00:37:28Mr. Seeker
00:37:30What do you want? You can help me. I think not. Mr. Martin
00:37:36And you're looking for your wife
00:37:41I've seen the pictures
00:37:43Trespassing tell me about them about how you came to know her. I advise you to get out
00:37:57Oh
00:38:19You will never felt better in my life
00:38:23Time was bad. So how do you think?
00:38:26Fine the hospital in 20 minutes, honey. Can I ask you a really big favor? Oh, this will be good
00:38:34Would it be all right if I stayed here for tonight? I won't be here till five. That's all right. I won't wait up
00:38:42Well, you won't have to could you be in the spare room great I'll just put this in there can't thank you enough
00:38:52I
00:39:23I
00:39:25Think strangely quiet about any waste at all. What you might be out of hell. I
00:39:30Like the size, but nobody's heard a thing
00:39:32Strike is odd very
00:39:35meaning
00:39:37Meaning it must have been outsiders involved or they dumped it before the crash
00:39:42Very good, Jimmy
00:39:44They rob a bank. No, they're gonna have a smash. So they bury the money
00:39:48You're gonna have to do better than that awesome
00:39:52You
00:40:03Good morning. What are you doing in here reading a book?
00:40:09Tom we're divorced. Ah
00:40:11That was ages ago
00:40:13Was it?
00:40:16So
00:40:19How's work
00:40:21Shit out
00:40:23You know the risk of repeating myself. This really is the asshole of the world. Yeah, I think I've heard that somewhere before
00:40:31So it's still New York then
00:40:36Fuck New York, and what do you want?
00:40:45No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no coming up, please listen to me
00:40:55We should I had kids and have them end up like you you got a point
00:41:09God I liked you once I even liked me too once
00:41:15I
00:41:17I
00:41:44Tom Stewart
00:41:47I
00:41:50Detective Ray Birch who in turn was promoted through these investigations was able to you made the whole thing yourself
00:41:56Yes
00:41:57It's a sort of hobby of mine. I
00:42:00Really admired your book very much. That's why I used it with the kids. I
00:42:05Don't suppose you'd mind
00:42:07Maybe writing something on it for me
00:42:10Well, I mean, sir, thanks. What can I say?
00:42:15Mm-hmm. I take it all that stuff about fabricated evidence was just a smear tactic
00:42:22Not entirely Morrison truth of the matter is that he actually did do it
00:42:29Told me so after the second trial
00:42:33You had no idea there was a sneaking suspicion, but um didn't stop me writing it
00:42:42Thanks
00:42:44Another drink
00:42:46Never say no
00:42:47you see I'm
00:42:49working on the end of the murder and
00:42:52If you could help me with a couple of questions, it might give me a clearer line on the story. Sure
00:43:00Well, first off, um, I understand that dr. Enderby said you ran his wife the night she was killed
00:43:06Yes, I know the police told me. In fact, I haven't seen her spoken to bid for
00:43:11A month
00:43:13It's odd, isn't it that he'd say you were the last person she spoke to
00:43:18it's well, we've been friends for a long time and
00:43:21Well, the truth is Vivian's rather fond of other men, you know what I mean?
00:43:26Well, I don't if Stephen would put quite such a fine point on it
00:43:31So she used a mutual friend as an alibi that sort of thing, yeah
00:43:41Do you
00:43:43Mind if I ask a personal question Morris, you know, I understand your own wife died six months ago
00:43:52Yes, she died in Paris car accident, that's her then
00:44:01Very beautiful lady. There was never anyone more beautiful
00:44:05I'm sorry
00:44:36Oh
00:44:47Carriages Scotch, of course, I'll join you good to see you
00:44:58You like different
00:45:06To Vivian it was bound to happen
00:45:14Do you want to talk about it
00:45:19Did Claude go back to what she used to do
00:45:22What?
00:45:23Look, I've tried all the travel agencies every single one of them
00:45:27Nobody's ever heard of her. It just doesn't make sense
00:45:31Could she still be alive? Do you think that's possible?
00:45:34No, darling, I don't see how she could be but you tell me wouldn't you I mean if you even suspected anything
00:45:40Oh, all I know is that a year before she died. She was working for some woman called
00:45:45Spicer
00:45:47So she only pretended to go overseas
00:45:49Morris it's past she loved you and only you leave it at that. I need to talk to the Spicer woman
00:45:57Barbara, please
00:46:00It won't do you any good
00:46:07Spicer ease
00:46:10What if I told you I'd seen her seen Claudine, what would you say I
00:46:16Only wish I could believe you had
00:46:26All right, ladies and gentlemen
00:46:29Turning to crime as we all should have done ages ago
00:46:34Can I want you to work up something on the seeker murders
00:46:37Mistraded a house in the mountains that kind of crap
00:46:40Neil um, could I grab that one? No, Ken won't mind. Will you Ken?
00:46:45All right, Tom as long as you don't turn it into a book again Carol I've got something here for you as well
00:46:59Oh
00:47:29I
00:47:42See you back in the car
00:47:59I

00:56:11Well, thank you not to pry into my personal affairs
00:56:14Well given the circumstances there might be a bit of public interest here
00:56:18By dragging my name and that of my late wife through the mud is that what you're implying?
00:56:22No, I'm not implying that I just want to find out what's going on. You have no private life
00:56:26Then I take it no personal secrets
00:56:29No habits, you prefer not disclosed in leery detail on the front page of your newspaper
00:56:34When we're discussing your situation

00:57:26Thirsty
00:57:28You
00:57:45There were marvelous times mr. Stewart unconventional times we were all very close
00:57:52Was
00:57:54Was Morris ever in love with Vivian Enderby in love
00:57:59If you mean by that did Morris ever sleep with Vivian the answer's yes, but then so did we all at various times?
00:58:06You mean
00:58:08Stephen and Morris and Vivian and myself. Yes
00:58:11Didn't Stephen explain? No, he didn't
00:58:14Well, he must be a little shy these days
00:58:17I
00:58:20Wasn't Morris married to a Claudine Vargas. Yeah. No, he was married to me. I
00:58:29Don't quite understand
00:58:31Claudine was an English girl. We met in Spain San Sebastian. Actually, you see we even used to take our holidays together
00:58:40She and Morris fell in love
00:58:42You realize what she was? No
00:58:45She was a whore mr. Stewart a very beautiful and highly paid whore
00:58:50She was utterly charming and captivating and in a very real sense
00:58:56We were all in love with her
00:59:02Mrs. Spicer, my name is Martin. You were recommended to me
00:59:14Mr. Martin, why don't you come through?
00:59:21Tell me
00:59:23Do you think it's possible that Claudine Vargas is still alive?
00:59:28What an extraordinary question is it? I
00:59:33Understood it was Vivian you wanted to discuss. I think it's all connected
00:59:38Is it I
00:59:40Understood it was Vivian you wanted to discuss. I think it's all connected
00:59:45Do you really?
00:59:53Is that Claudine yes awfully commercial don't you think
01:00:01The sculpture of Morris Martin's house, I suppose I did several of her if that's the question
01:00:07Is she alive or not? You've been listening to Morris
01:00:11You're looking for a mystery. Mr. Stewart, and there isn't one Claudine is dead. It's as simple and as sad as that
01:00:32And I'm a Sasha show you a photograph
01:00:37What about you me
01:00:41Unless there's really a mr. Spicer, of course, there is but you're at liberty to choose whenever you like
01:00:50Then I choose you
01:00:52I'm very flattered
01:00:55When you free tonight could be reorganized
01:00:59The dinner lovely I
01:01:03Really wanted to ask you something rather private
01:01:06a
01:01:07Specialty. Well, not exactly. I
01:01:12Want to know if my wife worked for you
01:01:16Her name's Claudine, but I
01:01:18Think you might have known her as Jennifer Reynolds. I don't know anyone by that name. I'm sorry. I think you do
01:01:26If you'll excuse me just for a minute
01:01:29She did work for you. I've been told I don't know her
01:01:33Where I don't know who you're talking about
01:01:39Let me go
01:01:41Where is she?
01:01:43Let me go
01:01:51Where
01:01:53See even poor Barbara still thinks she's dead
01:01:58But she's not
01:02:00She's alive
01:02:03If you at least clear something up for me
01:02:05There's a postcard, right? It's dated two months after Claudine Martin supposed to have died
01:02:10I gave you some advice when you broke into my home. Yes, you seem to have forgotten it or ignored it
01:02:15No, no, look if she's alive, she could be in serious danger. Do you understand?
01:02:20Look, is she alive or not?
01:02:25Freak
01:02:33Mrs. S. Okay to do the carpet

01:03:00Come on man, it's not my job. That's not a good one. Don't be a turd. Do me a big favor. I haven't got time

01:06:39I
01:07:10Oh
01:07:14Mrs. Klein Neil Bradshaw here. Thank you
01:07:39I
01:07:46Know mr. Bradshaw. Hello. This is a pleasure. I'm not your client. How do you do to come in?
01:08:10Inga a marvelous choice
01:08:18I
01:08:20so this is your first visit here Neil.
01:08:49He knows you're alive and he's killed people to find out. You're Claudine Martin
01:08:55aren't you? I don't know what you're talking about. I'm Tom Stewart and I'm a
01:08:59reporter. Morris must have found out about this place by now too. Listen you've
01:09:04got to let me get you out of here and quick. Believe me please. Come on.
01:09:18I saw a painting of you at Seekers place so I put two and two together. What about
01:09:28the police? I don't think they've even got the first base yet.
01:09:35My hair and turtle are really up for your blood this time. So what's new? Tell me,
01:09:41you know if the paramedics saw anyone close to Eddie Weeks before he died?
01:09:44Only Stewart and his photographer mate. Stewart was jollying him along trying to
01:09:49keep him away. That's probably what killed him. Thought you knew. No, no I didn't. I want you to find
01:09:58Eddie's girl for me. Susie what's her name? Quick.
01:11:44I'll go find somewhere to get some water.
01:12:14I need some help. I'll call the police. Look he was trying to kill us. Please, let's go.
01:12:22Ray Birch. Jimmy here. Yes Jimmy. Eddie's haul was over two hundred and seventy thousand. Say that again. Sure Sarge. Two hundred and seventy
01:12:42thousand. OK thanks Jimmy. Keep it under your hat will you? Eddie's girlfriend Susie just
01:12:49came back from a holiday in Bali with some young stud. Seems she came into some money.
01:12:53Question is Derek Olson, just how much? Tom Stewart please. Not here at the moment. Ray Birch here,
01:13:05where is he? Oh no idea Sarge, in some private project. Just tell him I want to chat.
01:13:11Get it through aye? Yeah big one. Christ they didn't give in easy. Ran me into the bank. Front
01:13:22end's the problem. No worries. You and the missus need a bed for the night? I think we might. Fix
01:13:59You drink whiskey? Yes, straight. I need a bit of water. Tea's on the table Bert. Coming
01:14:23up. Not saying much are you? No.
01:14:52Mind if I ask you a stupid question? That's your job isn't it? No I'm just curious really. The sort
01:15:02of work you do, why do you do it? Why do you do it? Delusions of grandeur I think. Well I'm not
01:15:14like you, I like what I do. Oh come on, the money's great. Buy you a lot of freedom? Not always.
01:15:24So you want to tell me what this is all about? Just interested in Susie's welfare. And? And how
01:15:40honest our reporter friend is. You be all right in there? I'm used to taking care of myself. How's
01:15:53you get involved with a bloke like Morris then? At the time I really needed someone to look after me
01:15:59and he was it. Then he got so jealous and possessive. It was suffocating. Are you doing this just for the
01:16:08story? Yeah I suppose I am. Bad habit that.
01:16:15So that's the stuff. Didn't take long to forget about Eddie. Amazing what a little money can buy
01:16:43We off then? No no, I'll handle this one on my own. Just let him settle in a bit I think.
01:16:51How much money Stuart give you? I don't know what you're talking about. Susie, trust me.
01:17:19A few grand. How many grand exactly?
01:17:49Aren't you tired?
01:18:20I should be but I'm not. Thinking up some more questions. You know all I ever do is think up
01:18:34questions. Are you married Tom? Hmm? You married? Yes I was. Divorced. What happened? I was a
01:18:57prick and I didn't respect what I had. Most people don't. Well they should. You know something it
01:19:16might not be too late.
01:19:19Alright young Tom, what have you done with it all?
01:19:47I want Stuart. On his ass wherever it is. Want to tell me why? Nope. Well that's clear enough. So you never were a tour guide?
01:20:14No, that was just a story I used to get away for a while. So I could breathe. And Enderby, he just happened to be a partner at the Raven's Head place. Great mix of careers. Prominent surgeon, brothel owner. And what did you do when that idea didn't work?
01:20:31Well Vivian came up with a plan that I should die. Ironic isn't it? She said if I just disappeared that Morris wouldn't stop until he found me.
01:20:41Look, Bert said there's a bike in that old shed. I'll ride over and see how the car's going. Maybe we can get out of here. I won't be long.
01:20:51How's the car going? Some rue you hit. Sure was. Tell me, does that phone work? Did yesterday. Good one.
01:21:20Who's this? Neil Bradshaw please. Hello. Welcome Neil Bradshaw. Mr Bradshaw. Yes? Hello? Hello?
01:21:47So how much longer with the car? Another few hours. Great, I'll be back then. Okay.
01:22:47Did they find Morris? No, Bert would have said if they had. Did you phone the story in? No, I didn't.
01:23:47Tom.
01:24:05Whatever happened, it doesn't matter. Stop!
01:24:17Stop!
01:24:47Long way from home, aren't you old son?
01:25:17Nice old mess we got into, didn't we? Look, the girl exists and she must have killed Martin, because I bloody well didn't. And why the fuck can't I see my lawyer?
01:25:44Easy. All in good time. Ray, we both know I didn't kill anybody. Do we?
01:25:52Well, what's the go, Ray? Still no sign of your mystery woman.
01:26:14What fucking mystery? Oh, come on, cut the bullshit. There's only a few places she could be. Look, if you pull your finger out, it's not hard to find her. You owe me that much.
01:26:24I owe you nothing.
01:26:44I owe you nothing.
01:27:14Well, we found her. Where? Barbara Helmsley's place. Helmsley's? Good. Charge her and let me go. Pardon? Charge her and let me go, Ray.
01:27:31What with, Tom? Oh, come on, Ray. Morris wasn't even going to hurt her, let alone kill her. Morris was a lunatic. So?
01:27:40He's supposed to have murdered four people. It's perfectly simple, old son. Self-defense. Your story, however, still doesn't add up.
01:27:50My story? How does it go again? She pushes you out of the way, grabs the wheel, drives Morris off the road. Yeah.
01:27:59Pretty thin, mate. Ray, what are you saying exactly? I'm saying shut up and you can walk away from here. Start playing reporter again and you'll end up in the shit.
01:28:14There are still unsolved murders out there and you've been a regular observer. It could be made to look pretty bad.
01:28:22Are you serious? You think anyone's going to believe that? Tom, go home. I've run out of favors.
01:28:41Annie, are you home? What are you doing to me? What? Ray Birch was in my home, he tripped over a piece of shit and took all your precious money.
01:28:48Annie, when was he here? Look, I don't need to be a part of these little affairs. When was he here, Annie? Yesterday.
01:28:53Shit, Annie, I'm sorry. I really am, but I've got to go. Tom. I'll be back, Annie. You are so fucking irresponsible.
01:29:18Where's Birch? He's not around. You know where he is? No idea. Stuart, I'll let you in on a little secret.
01:29:31What's that? It's over for him and Turner wanted him for a scapegoat. Are you serious?
01:29:38Ray's had it and he knows it. Thanks.
01:29:48Where is she? Mr. Stuart, you're too late. She's on a flight to New York today.
01:29:59She wouldn't be on her own, would she?
01:30:01Hello? Mick, you've got to meet me at Circular Quay in about 20 minutes. Now, don't fuck around. You'll be there, all right?
01:30:08All right, I'll be there. Don't bother, Mr. Stuart.
01:30:13Hello, Ray.
01:30:43Excuse me.
01:31:14Hey, Ray.
01:31:18Tom.
01:31:22I suppose you know what's happening here. I think I finally tumbled to it.
01:31:30So where do we go from here?
01:31:32Do me one favour, Ray. Don't come back.
01:31:36Excuse me.
01:31:45Do me one favour, Ray. Don't come back.
01:32:06Don't come back.
01:32:21What are you going to do? Nothing.
01:32:23Nothing?
01:32:25What should I do? Chase my ass around in circles for the rest of my life?
01:32:30It's not worth it, Mick. It's all bullshit.
01:32:33So you're letting them get away with it, are you?
01:32:35Mate, they deserve each other.
01:32:38And that's it, is it?
01:32:40Maybe.
01:32:49I told you I'd be back.
01:32:57Annie, I know you've heard all this before, but...
01:33:02I am sorry.
01:33:05What happened with Birch?
01:33:08He just made a very serious mistake.
01:33:11One that was meant for me.
01:33:20Are you serious about us?
01:33:23You bet I am.
01:33:31There's a place for us.
01:33:33There's a passbook here.
01:33:38And it's got $150,000 in it.
01:33:42For us.
01:33:51I knew there was a reason I liked you.
