1:22:01
You're worrying Gilbert.
1:22:07
If that knife is missing,
I'll look for it in your back.
1:22:11
After our hero had killed Wynant,
he had a brilliant idea.
1:22:14
He realized that he and Julia
could still collect money.
1:22:17
Wynant was supposed to be out of town,
no one knew where.
1:22:20
So our hero wrote letters to MacCaulay,
signing Wynant's name...
1:22:23
so that MacCaulay would continue
to send the money to Julia.
1:22:26
He even telephoned MacCaulay.
1:22:28
You remember that first day
you came to see me?
1:22:29
He telephoned he was in town?
1:22:30
Yes, he called while I was out.
1:22:32
Yeah, wasn't he slick about that?
1:22:34
That same afternoon,
Julia telephoned him.
1:22:38
She said you were coming, Mimi.
1:22:40
- I wanted to ask about Mr. Wynant.
- Exactly.
1:22:43
And our hero got terrified.
1:22:45
He was afraid Julia would break down
and tell you that he had murdered Wynant.
1:22:49
So he went to Julia, and he killed her.
1:22:52
And he left Wynant's watch chain
in her hand.
1:22:55
- Is this true?
- I don't know.
1:22:57
- Then why are you saying it?
- It's the only way it makes sense.
1:23:00
I hope you're well.
1:23:03
His plan was working beautifully.
1:23:06
Everybody believed
that Wynant was in town...
1:23:09
and that he had done it.
1:23:10
There was just one hitch.
1:23:12
A bird named Nunheim, your friend.
1:23:15
Nunheim had gone to call on her.
1:23:17
He heard the shots.
He saw the murderer leave.
1:23:20
He knew who did it.
1:23:21
If he knew, he didn't tell me!
You can't drag me into this!
1:23:26
Our hero had paid Nunheim once
to keep his mouth shut.
1:23:29
And when Nunheim threatened him again,
he bumped him off.
1:23:32
He was very clever.
1:23:33
Everybody, even our astute friend Guild,
thought that Wynant was alive...
1:23:37
and that he was the murderer.
1:23:38
You can skip that.
1:23:39
But our hero had just one
weak link in his chain.
1:23:43
The telegrams and phone calls
were all very well...
1:23:46
but no one had actually seen Wynant.
1:23:48
So our hero picked on poor Mimi here
to strengthen his case.
1:23:52
Mimi is the only one at this table
who can tell us who the real murderer is.
1:23:55
Mimi, who was it who told you
to say you saw Wynant?
1:23:59
- Nobody told me, I did see him!
- Why don't you let my mother alone?
