Where does that put us? 537 00:36:21,550 --> 00:36:22,550 Front row? 538 00:36:23,430 --> 00:36:24,430 Maybe. 539 00:36:36,710 --> 00:36:37,710 Chief Ironside? 540 00:36:38,610 --> 00:36:41,070 Couldn't this have waited until morning? I was on my way to a dinner party. 541 00:36:41,890 --> 00:36:43,710 I'll try to make it as brief as possible. 542 00:36:44,350 --> 00:36:48,190 Your board chairman's an old friend of mine. I took the liberty of asking him 543 00:36:48,190 --> 00:36:49,610 let me see your personnel file. 544 00:36:49,970 --> 00:36:51,010 I'm sure you don't mind. 545 00:36:51,390 --> 00:36:53,530 Well, there's nothing in there that could possibly interest you. 546 00:36:53,770 --> 00:36:54,810 That's where you're wrong. 547 00:36:55,930 --> 00:37:01,250 For example, I find it quite interesting for a banker to be, well, this much 548 00:37:01,250 --> 00:37:02,530 involved in the theater. 549 00:37:03,610 --> 00:37:05,690 Well, that's highly unusual under the circumstances. 550 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,560 As a member of the Art Festival Board, I naturally helped to arrange for dancing 551 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,040 for local productions in and around the Boston area. 552 00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:14,700 What's that got to do with Mrs. Saginaw's kidnapping? 553 00:37:15,060 --> 00:37:15,999 Perhaps everything. 554 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,100 Do you know an actor named Chris Cortland? 555 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,520 No, I don't think I do. 556 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,160 Now, look, let's stop this playing hide -and -seek, shall we? What is it you 557 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:25,899 want to know? 558 00:37:25,900 --> 00:37:26,900 More about you. 559 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,400 You know, you're supposed to be something of a banking genius. 560 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,720 Now, how do you explain your... 561 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:38,040 Not catching over a dozen discrepancies in Saginaw's account since you came to 562 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:38,738 the bank. 563 00:37:38,740 --> 00:37:41,700 Well, that's an exaggeration. There was three or four errors, and I was the one 564 00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:43,680 who found them. I thought we went through this before. 565 00:37:43,980 --> 00:37:47,020 Yes, we did, but that was before the chief spent a little time with your 566 00:37:48,220 --> 00:37:49,280 Get to the point, please. 567 00:37:49,580 --> 00:37:50,580 All right. 568 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:56,640 Now, why did you allow Saginaw to take out loans totaling $100 ,000 when he was 569 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,130 in... personal financial trouble. It was a perfectly sound investment. I 570 00:38:00,130 --> 00:38:03,370 authorized those loans myself. Are you aware Saginaw is selling that land? 571 00:38:05,970 --> 00:38:09,270 No. He never mentioned that. He sold it a few weeks ago. 572 00:38:12,650 --> 00:38:15,830 I wonder why he had to come to you for the ransom money. 573 00:38:16,130 --> 00:38:17,870 I couldn't possibly know the answer to that, could I? 574 00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:21,530 Why don't you ask Eric? We're just about to do that, Mr. Friedland. 575 00:38:23,350 --> 00:38:25,210 I know you'll be interested in the answer. 576 00:38:25,650 --> 00:38:26,650 Yes. 577 00:38:53,250 --> 00:38:56,690 Saginaw spotted me just as we crossed the bridge. He's trying to shake me. 578 00:38:57,090 --> 00:38:59,330 Where are you? Heading north on 104. 579 00:39:00,230 --> 00:39:01,750 He's in a rented green sedan. 580 00:39:02,610 --> 00:39:06,650 License number 743 -AEH. 581 00:39:07,370 --> 00:39:10,150 Try and stay with him, but don't close in. We'll follow you. 582 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,440 273, this is Ironside.

How do we know that Baganoe's heading there? We might have scared him 591 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,320 off. I don't know. 592 00:40:58,780 --> 00:41:01,140 But like the man said, it's the only game in town. 593 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,680 Knock it off.
