2:14:01
I don't care much for that.
You're slipping, old girl.
2:14:04
- What's wrong with it, my dear chap?
- That's too complicated.
2:14:08
If you're going to kill somebody,
do it simply.
2:14:11
Am I right, Dr. Sedbusk?
2:14:13
You're right.
Just as long as you don't get caught.
2:14:17
- Do the wine, will you?
- Yes, Issie.
2:14:21
How would you do it simply?
2:14:23
I don't know, dear.
I'd use the most obvious method.
2:14:27
The most important thing
is that no one should suspect me.
2:14:30
- For instance?
- For instance, poison.
2:14:35
Just use the first one
that came to my mind. Say, arsenic.
2:14:40
Arsenic.
2:14:42
I remember...
2:14:45
in Gloucester, where
we exhumed the body four years after...
2:14:50
there was still enough poison,
even in the fingernails and the hair.
2:14:55
Yes, but did you get the murderer?
2:15:00
Let me see.
2:15:02
No, I don't think we did.
2:15:04
There you are.
2:15:05
Think of it. This very minute,
there are hundreds of people...
2:15:09
who have committed murder
and they're walking about freely.
2:15:13
Thousands.
2:15:14
Do you suppose
those murderers are happy, Johnnie?
2:15:18
I don't know, dear.
I don't see why they shouldn't be.
2:15:21
Fear of discovery, my lad.
2:15:23
So long as arsenic leaves traces and
a bullet's marked by the barrel of a gun...
2:15:28
and the tiniest hair of your head
can be identified...
2:15:31
It seems to me by now someone would've
discovered a poison that can't be traced.
2:15:40
What about it, Doctor?
2:15:44
A very interesting corpse
dropped in the other day.
2:15:47
- Do let's hear about it.
- No, please. Don't change the subject.
2:15:52
I saw that look that passed between you.
There's an untraceable poison, isn't there?
2:15:56
Nonsense. No such thing.
2:15:59
I'll bet you know, Doctor. What is it?
