:31:02
and him with his
head bashed in?
:31:08
Well if you won't talk,
:31:10
I'm gonna hold you
on suspición of murder.
:31:13
I didn't kill
him I tell you.
:31:15
You clubbed him to death
:31:17
with the butt end of
this revolver from behind.
:31:20
I wouldn't go too
far along that
line, inspector.
:31:22
And what would you propose
:31:23
that I should do,
Mr. Holmes?
:31:25
Find the murderer?
:31:26
What?
:31:27
If that man didn't club
Lloyd Brandon to death,
:31:30
who did?
:31:31
Nobody.
:31:32
What?
:31:33
Brandon was
strangled to death.
:31:35
Strangled?
:31:36
The wound to the
back of his head
:31:37
were administered
post-mortem.
:31:39
Are you sure of
it, Mr. Holmes?
:31:41
Absolutely.
:31:42
Talk to the
medical examiner
:31:43
if you have any doubts.
:31:46
You wait here.
:31:49
How do you know
he was strangled?
:31:51
The marks around the neck.
:31:52
Cigarette, Mr. Hunter?
:31:53
No thanks.
:31:54
So, that blow on
the back of the head
:31:56
becomes an
interesting element.
:31:58
It was unnecessary
therefore vicious.
:32:00
Intelligent criminals
are seldom vicious
:32:02
except on
special occasions.
:32:05
Though the apparent method
of the crime was brutal,
:32:08
I'm convinced
that the crime itself
:32:09
was intelligently planned.
:32:11
And Bristol
thinks I did that.
:32:13
The nose of a police dog,
:32:15
although long
and efficient,
:32:17
points in only one
direction at a time.
:32:18
What do you mean?
:32:20
Simply that you're
the obvious suspect.
:32:23
It's so ridiculous.
:32:24
Why should I
want to kill him?
:32:26
You should know that
:32:27
better than anyone
else, Mr. Hunter.
:32:29
You're his lawyer.
:32:30
You manage the estate.
:32:33
You'll have to explain
that, Mr. Holmes.
:32:34
The Brandon estate is
quite considerable.
:32:37
Miss Ann inherits
:32:38
and you're about
to marry Miss Ann.
:32:39
Why you...
:32:41
I was merely
demonstrating
:32:42
how the police mind works.
:32:43
Yes I'm afraid our
friend the inspector
:32:45
has quite set his
heart on arresting you.
:32:48
Arresting me?
:32:50
You mustn't allow them
to do that, Mr. Holmes.
:32:52
I must be let free
to protect Ann.
:32:55
From what, Jerrold?
