1:17:01
Four walls, and you just sit
and look at them, huh?
1:17:05
Yes, Mr. Neff.
1:17:09
So that evening I took her to dinner...
1:17:11
at a Mexican restaurant down on Olvera Street
where nobody would see us.
1:17:15
I wanted to cheer her up..
1:17:17
Next day was Sunday and we went
for a ride down to the beach.
1:17:20
She had loosened up a bit
and she was even laughing...
1:17:24
I had to make sure she wouldn't tell
that stuff about Phyllis to anybody else.
1:17:27
It was dynamite,
whether it was true or not.
1:17:30
And I had no chance to talk to Phyllis.
You were watching her like a hawk, Keyes.
1:17:34
I couldn't even phone her for
fear you had the wires tapped.
1:17:39
Monday morning there was a note on my desk
that you wanted to see me, Keyes.
1:17:43
For a minute I wondered if
it could be about Lola. It was worse.
1:17:48
Outside your door was the last guy
in the world I wanted to see.
1:18:01
Come in. Come in, Walter.
1:18:05
Hello, Keyes.
1:18:06
I want to ask you something.
1:18:08
After all the years we've known each other,
do you mind if I make a rather blunt statement?
1:18:12
- About what?
- About me.
1:18:14
Walter, I'm a very great man.
This Dietrichson business.
1:18:18
It's murder,
and murders don't come any neater.
1:18:22
As fancy a piece of homicide
as anybody ever ran into.
1:18:24
Smart and tricky and almost perfect, but...
1:18:28
I think Papa has it all figured out...
1:18:30
figured out and wrapped up in tissue paper
with pink ribbons on it.
1:18:34
Go ahead, I'm listening.
1:18:35
You know what?
1:18:37
That guy Dietrichson
was never on the train.
1:18:41
- He wasn't?
- No, he wasn't.
1:18:45
Now look Walter,
1:18:46
you can't be sure of killing a man
by throwing him off a train...
1:18:48
that's going 15 miles an hour.
1:18:50
The only way you can be sure
is to kill him first...
1:18:53
and then
throw his body on the tracks.
1:18:55
That would mean either killing him
on the train...
1:18:57
or... and this is where
it really gets fancy...
