I knew Church's plan was good,
but I didn't know it was that good.

1:29:05
He was a genius.
1:29:07
Let me show you
something else he planned.

1:29:08
Wait a minute.
Let's not talk about Church. He's dead.

1:29:12
- It's the killer we're after.
- Yes, I'm coming to that.

1:29:15
- You mean you know who he is?
- I have a pretty fair idea...

1:29:17
and if this trick turns out right, I'll be sure.
1:29:21
Let's say this is MacFay's room
and that this is his bed.

1:29:24
We'll fix things just as we found them
the night of the murder.

1:29:27
There was a newspaper on the floor.
Stop me if I'm wrong.

1:29:30
- Here's a paper.
- Let me see.

1:29:32
- There were some books.
- I'll get those, Nickie.

1:29:35
- Thank you, Mommy. A glass of water.
- I'll get it.

1:29:38
No, Mrs. Bellam, you stay here.
One of the boys will get it.

1:29:41
- Freddie, would you mind standing there?
- Surely.

1:29:43
And watch everything very carefully.
1:29:46
- A lamp?
- I'll get that.

1:29:48
As I remember,
a cord was pulled from the lamp.

1:29:52
Let's see.
1:29:57
- You forgot the gun.
- Yes, I have my own right here.

1:30:09
There we are.
Now, may I have the books, Mommy?

1:30:12
You know, this trick should work,
Church planned it.

1:30:15
And Church was an engineer. Here we are.
1:30:18
- Now, if you'll just let me have the paper.
- Here's the paper.

1:30:22
Thank you. Just one sheet will do.
1:30:24
It was just one sheet that was wet,
wasn't it?

1:30:27
Yes.
1:30:32
Paper serves as a nonconductor.
1:30:34
I'll place this small piece
between the exposed wire...

1:30:38
and the metallic part of the gun.
1:30:40
Now the water, please.
1:30:42
- You watching this carefully, Freddie?
- Yes.

1:30:45
This might be your finish.
1:30:48
Now, we'll just drop the water
in this indentation.

1:30:50
There you are.
Do you mind plugging that in?

1:30:54
Thank you.
1:30:58
Twelve minutes past.
