:40:00
That gun killed him.
:40:01
You said
sooner or later i'd find a gun.
:40:04
Were you afraid
of lavery talking, miss fromsett?
:40:06
It's christmastime,
miss fromsett, so tell the truth.
:40:09
Y-you didn't
go to the lake?
:40:11
No.
:40:12
You went to see lavery-
:40:13
and found him dead.
:40:14
I repeatedly told you
not to go see lavery.
:40:17
What brand of
perfume do you wear, miss fromsett?
:40:20
Do you recognize it?
:40:21
The initials
are a.f.
:40:26
I, uh...
:40:27
i don't have to ask
the obvious question, do i?
:40:30
I found it
on the dresser in lavery's bedroom.
:40:32
And you quickly deducted
that i left it there.
:40:35
Such great, blinding
brilliance, mr. Marlowe.
:40:37
What am i
supposed to say now?
:40:39
Did you bring a confession
for me to sign?
:40:40
No. I just thought
you'd like to have your handkerchief back.
:40:43
Nobody knows about it
but me.
:40:45
And whoever killed lavery.
:40:46
Yeah. Whoever
killed him.
:40:47
Or was he the type
of guy who kept those kind of souvenirs?
:40:50
If i say no, that
makes me a murderess or a good suspect.
:40:53
If i say yes,
what does that make me?
:40:56
Human, maybe.
:40:56
What are you trying
to do, miss fromsett,
:40:59
play the bright,
hard lady?
:41:00
You're afraid of life,
miss fromsett, and people.
:41:02
You don't give
your real self a chance.
:41:06
Marlowe:
Come in, mr. Kingsby.
:41:07
Don't stand out there
all cold and chewed up with curiosity.
:41:11
You may as well
be in on this, too.
:41:13
What's
going on here?
:41:14
Come view my gift
of love, mr. Kingsby.
:41:17
Is this a joke?
:41:19
Chris lavery
wouldn't say so.
:41:20
To coin a phrase we
confidential agents use,
:41:23
he's a dead one.
:41:25
Dead?
:41:25
Did your wife own
a gun, mr. Kingsby?
:41:27
What does my wife
have to do with this?
:41:30
Break it to him
gently.
:41:32
Derrie, i hired
mr. Marlowe
:41:35
to try and find
crystal.
:41:37
You didn't.
:41:38
Yes. I thought-
:41:39
you had no right
to meddle.
:41:40
Crystal is to be
left alone, to do what she wants to do.
:41:43
I've told you that.
:41:44
No, you didn't.
What you said was
:41:45
you were tired
to death of her.
:41:47
Well, l-
:41:48
oh, you're not?
Well, why didn't you say so?
:41:50
I won't
have you prying into my private affairs.
:41:51
The police may be prying
into your private affairs, mr. Kingsby.
:41:55
Your wife was mixed up
with lavery.
:41:57
He's dead. The evidence
points to a woman.
:41:59
Now, does she own
a gun or doesn't she?
