The Man with the Scarlet Satchel

I'd like to buy a set you. If you please, there, that one in the corner would do. The Scarlet one. You see, Scarlet is my favorite color because it reminds me so very much of blood.

I came about same. Sit down.

Do you have a smoke? Yes, of course. Yes, of course. Do you think Mr. Craig knows what we're doing? I believe he suspects. What are your plans? Tonight, Peter Craig will sign over the last of the estate to me.

And when do I get the money you promised me? Within a week. Why that wait that long? Because it's the best that way. You should wait longer. It would not do for the private nurse Rose Esther to become suddenly rich.

overnight. You remember the price don't you? One hundred thousand dollars. I should have more. You're netting a cool million. The deal was all right with you when I made it. Yes, yes it's all right. What time tonight? About eleven and he's good and sleepy so he'll take the powder without suspecting. You said he already suspects.

Not everything. He doesn't know we give him dope to make his mind go blank. We can be pretty sure of that. Oh, that he signs those legal papers while under the influence of the drug?

He couldn't possibly know that. He's been taking medicine for so many years when you hold a glass of it in front of him, he takes it automatically. He has one more paper to sign? One more.

I'll give him the powder, the minute you come into the house tonight. After that, disappear. Yes. I will. But remember, Sam, I expect my share of the money within a week. I think I've been quite patient with you since we went into this thing.
