:38:01
I cleaned out
the cabinet on Friday...
:38:04
and put the empties
in the basement.
:38:07
Then somebody was with her
in the apartment Friday night...
:38:10
someone
who brought that bottle.
:38:12
- Yes.
- Who?
:38:14
I don't know,
but I didn't want anyone...
:38:16
getting any wrong ideas about her,
God rest her soul.
:38:19
That's why I took it out of the bedroom
and put it in the cabinet...
:38:22
before the police got here.
:38:24
And that ain't all I done.
:38:27
I washed out the glasses
and cleaned off the bottle too.
:38:30
Do you know what happens to people
who destroy evidence?
:38:33
I don't care.
:38:36
You ain't gonna tell
the newspaper reporters, are ya...
:38:38
and let them make up
their nasty stories...
:38:40
and drag her name
through the mud?
:38:43
Go ahead,
but it won't do you any good.
:38:46
- I'll say you lied. I'll say-
- Take it easy, Bessie.
:38:49
Get me some ice
and a setup, will you?
:38:52
All right.
:38:54
A couple of highball glasses.
:39:01
Good morning.
Lieutenant McPherson sent for us.
:39:03
- Good morning, Lieutenant.
- Hello, McPherson.
:39:05
- This is quite a delegation. I only sent for you, Carpenter.
- I know.
:39:08
Shelby's dropping me off
at the hairdresser's later...
:39:10
- so I thought I might as well come along.
- My excuse is equally feeble.
:39:14
I just popped in
to pay my dubious respects...
:39:16
and inquire as to
the state of your health.
:39:18
- Insipid, I trust.
- I was just going to pour myself a drink.
:39:21
- Care to join me?
- A very nice idea. Shelby, wouldn't you like one?
:39:24
- I'll get it.
- Never mind.
:39:26
- Bessie, would you bring a couple more glasses?
- Yes, sir.
:39:29
Hi, Bessie.
What are you doing here?
:39:31
I'm paid up for the week,
and I'm working, regardless.
:39:33
- Would you like one, Lydecker?
- I see no reason to exclude myself...
:39:36
if the host provides scotch.
:39:38
- This do?
- I presume it'll have to.
:39:40
How about you, Carpenter?
It's cheap, but it's potent.
:39:43
As a matter of fact, I don't think I care
for any. I'm not much of a daytime drinker.
:39:47
- Uh-huh. That'll be all for you, Bessie.
You can go home now. - But I- Yes, sir.
:39:52
I remember when Laura
bought these glasses.
:39:55
She loved them.
She loved all her things so.
:39:57
What are you going to do?
Sell them?
