1:33:02
I knew it was Dum-Dum all the time.
1:33:04
- Was it him?
- No.
1:33:06
Dum-Dum was only trying to get
the accomplice who killed his Mr. Church.
1:33:09
But who...
1:33:10
I'm afraid you people
haven't been paying attention.
1:33:13
This little trick I just showed you...
1:33:15
gave the murderer five minutes
to get away and get an alibi.
1:33:18
There was only one person
who used that particular alibi.
1:33:22
Church planned this trick
and you carried it through.
1:33:27
That's why Church had Smitty
to stooge for him.
1:33:30
So no one would suspect
he was mixed up with another woman.
1:33:32
- What are you saying?
- You're friends with Church and Dum-Dum.
1:33:35
That's why your dog was friends
with them, let them come and go.
1:33:38
That's why he stood on his hind legs,
as the prints showed...
1:33:41
with his paws on his killer's shoulders,
when they cut his throat.
1:33:44
If they were friends, why did they kill him?
1:33:46
To avoid suspicion that you and Church
were working together.
1:33:49
It's a lie. I killed MacFay.
1:33:51
Careful, Freddie, you know what happened
to Horn when he tried to protect her.
1:33:55
What do you mean?
1:33:56
I mean that Horn must have known
that she committed the murder.
1:33:59
He was jittery that night,
almost out of control.
1:34:02
He told us he'd had a threat
against Lois' life.
1:34:04
That was to divert suspicion from her.
1:34:06
Horn wanted to get me off the case.
1:34:08
When I went out on the grounds
looking for Asta and that knife...
1:34:11
he knew that it would be fairly safe
to take a shot at me.
1:34:14
If caught, he'd blame the darkness...
1:34:16
that he mistook me
for Church or Dum-Dum.
1:34:19
You were afraid of Horn,
afraid that he might give you away.
1:34:22
Besides, you were really stuck
on Phil Church.
1:34:24
So you let Horn go out to get me
and then you ran on ahead...
1:34:27
and warned me, so that I'd have time
to draw a gun on him.
1:34:30
Then you pushed me out of the way,
figuring that I'd shoot in self-defense.
1:34:34
Which I might have had to do...
1:34:35
but the police stepped in
and did the job for us.
1:34:37
You're guessing, saying horrible things.
1:34:39
Only way that makes sense.
1:34:41
Sense? What sense could there
possibly be in my killing Father?
1:34:44
Because you wanted his money
and you wanted it now.
1:34:46
He gave me everything I could
possibly need. Why he...
1:34:49
That wasn't your kind of life.
1:34:50
Your kind of life was the Linda Mills life
that you've been leading...
1:34:54
ever since you got the nerve to sneak out
after the folks went to sleep.
1:34:57
- Linda Mills?
- Yes, my sweet.
1:34:59
''L.M.'' for Linda Mills and Lois MacFay.
