- I'd like to sleep on it.
- You can sleep all day when we're finished.

1:00:07
Okay, then.
1:00:10
I've done a lot of work here tonight.
1:00:13
Some of it you know about,
some of it you don't.

1:00:16
Routine, most of it.
1:00:18
I look for motives, as I always do.
It's habit from training.

1:00:22
But I couldn't find any.
1:00:25
I realized the reason I couldn't find
an ordinary motive...

1:00:28
...was because none of these men
knew Samuels long enough to have one.

1:00:32
You usually have to know something
about a man to have a reason to kill him.

1:00:36
You have to know him well enough
to be in love with his wife...

1:00:39
...well enough to know
he has some money.

1:00:42
Samuels didn't have any money.
Didn't even have a wife.

1:00:46
That's beside the point. Not one of these
men knew that, or anything about him.

1:00:50
Mitchell talked to him maybe for an hour.
The others, less.

1:00:55
So it had to be something else.
1:01:00
The motive had to be
inside the killer himself.

1:01:04
Something he brought with him.
1:01:07
Something he'd been nursing
for a long time.

1:01:10
Something that had been waiting.
1:01:14
The killer had to be someone who could
hate Samuels without knowing him.

1:01:17
Who could hate him enough to kill him,
under the right circumstances.

1:01:21
Not for any real reason,
but mistakenly and ignorantly.

1:01:27
The rest wasn't too hard.
1:01:30
I looked at my suspects. I thought back
over the answers I'd had. Some of them fit.

1:01:36
I knew who'd kill Samuels.
1:01:42
I should have known right away.
But the motive was so simple...

1:01:46
...that it slipped through the machinery.
1:01:49
You're smart enough to know
what I'm talking about.

1:01:52
You don't have to draw me pictures.
I know what you mean.

1:01:56
I think you're right.
What do you want me to do?
