:59:03
You going to use your car after all?
I'm not quite through.
:59:06
Oh. It's all right, Charlie.
:59:08
Just going up the drug store
for something to eat.
:59:10
Working upstairs all evening.
My stomach's getting sore.
:59:13
Yes, Mr. Neff.
:59:16
That was all there was to it.
:59:18
Nothing had slipped,
nothing had been overlooked
:59:21
there was nothing to give us away.
:59:24
And yet, Keyes, as I was walking down
the street to the drug store
:59:27
suddenly it came over me
that everything would go wrong.
:59:31
It sounds crazy, Keyes,
but it's true so help me:
:59:34
I couldn't hear my own footsteps.
:59:40
It was the walk of a dead man.
:59:50
That was the longest night
I ever lived through, Keyes
:59:52
and the next day was worse,
when the story broke in the papers
:59:56
and they started talking about it
at the office
:59:58
and the day after that
when you started digging into it.
1:00:02
I kept my hands in my pockets
because I... thought they were shaking
1:00:06
and I put on dark glasses
so people couldn't see my eyes
1:00:08
and then I took them off again so people
wouldn't get to wondering why I wore them.
1:00:12
I was trying to hold myself together,
but...
1:00:15
I could feel my nerves
pulling me to pieces....
1:00:21
- Oh, Walter.
- Hello, Keyes.
1:00:24
- Come along, the big boss wants to see us.
- That Dietrichson case?
1:00:27
- Must be.
- Anything wrong?
1:00:30
The guy's dead,
we had him insured...
1:00:32
and it's going to cost us dough.
That's always wrong.
1:00:35
What have you got so far?
1:00:36
Autopsy report.
No heart failure, no apoplexy...
1:00:39
...no predisposing medical cause
of any kind.
1:00:41
He died of a broken neck.
1:00:43
When is the inquest?
1:00:44
They had it this morning.
His wife and daughter made the identification.
1:00:47
The train people and some passengers told
how he went through to the observation car...
1:00:51
It was all over in 45 minutes.
Verdict, accidental death.
1:00:56
What do the police figure?
1:00:58
That he got tangled up in his crutches
and fell off the train.
