:42:00
Surely you don't
believe my wife had anything to do with this.
:42:03
What i believe has
nothing to do with it.
:42:05
Here's a gun that can be
identified and traced.
:42:07
It's got a serial
number on it. It's...
:42:10
but maybe a woman
didn't do it.
:42:12
Maybe it was arranged
to look that way.
:42:14
Maybe you did it,
mr. Kingsby.
:42:16
Don't be an idiot.
I don't go around shooting people.
:42:19
Besides,
i have no motive.
:42:20
The police would say
jealousy.
:42:23
But let's get back
to the woman angle.
:42:26
Did crystal own a gun
or didn't she?
:42:28
Well, i...
:42:32
i don't know.
:42:33
Ok.
:42:34
But i found a dead man,
and i've got the gun that killed him,
:42:37
and i was seen in
that house by the owner.
:42:40
So...
:42:41
what do you propose
to do, mr. Marlowe?
:42:43
Put that right back
where i found it
:42:45
and then call the law and wait
for them to come.
:42:48
What else can i do?
:42:49
Would $1,000
make you change your mind?
:42:52
Ah! So mrs. Kingsby
does have a gun.
:42:54
Yes.
:42:55
Does it look
like that?
:42:56
Yes, but that
$1,000 offer-
:42:58
don't think i'm
too proud to take it.
:42:59
I'm just too smart
to get stuck with it.
:43:02
Well, then
the situation just has to be accepted.
:43:04
One thing you might
bear in mind, mr. Kingsby.
:43:07
The bay city cops are
going to come up here and talk to you.
:43:10
That will be the first
you've heard of all this.
:43:12
You better remember that.
:43:14
To protect you?
:43:16
Or you.
:43:17
Or miss fromsett.
:43:17
I'll tell the police
anything they want to know.
:43:20
And as for you,
i don't know what you're doing in this,
:43:23
but if you think you're
going to harm crystal, you're very much mistaken.
:43:27
Derrie.
:43:28
And please
understand this clearly:
:43:29
If i've ever said
anything endearing to you, miss fromsett,
:43:33
it was because
i was lonely,
:43:35
and i don't ever
intend to say anything endearing to you again...
:43:39
now or anytime.
:43:47
So you lost me
my million dollars.
:43:51
Aren't you smart?
:43:52
You forced a showdown
with him deliberately.
:43:55
Now what am i supposed
to do, reform?
:43:57
Become poor but honest?
:43:58
On what corner
would you like me to beat my tambourine?
