1:09:00
- Yes?
- The other kept eyeing Little Nicky...
1:09:03
and repeating how tough it'd be
on you if anything happened to him.
1:09:06
I got worried. I took him to the bedroom
and pretended to put him to bed...
1:09:09
and I took him out the bedroom door.
1:09:11
I'm very grateful to you for that.
1:09:13
But I can't understand it
making such a fuss.
1:09:19
Well, perhaps this will explain.
1:09:24
That's what I came to see you about.
1:09:27
Yes, I did get to Fran's apartment
before you.
1:09:29
She was dead when I got there.
I was going to remove the knife...
1:09:33
and then I remembered about fingerprints,
so I took out my handkerchief.
1:09:36
But I just couldn't. So I got up and ran...
1:09:38
and I was afraid of being seen
and I started down the back staircase.
1:09:42
Suddenly, I remembered the handkerchief.
I rushed back to get it and found you.
1:09:48
I don't know why I didn't tell you about it.
I guess I just got panicky.
1:09:53
That's the truth. Please believe me.
1:10:11
- You awake?
- No, I'm asleep.
1:10:17
- Why are your eyes open?
- I'm counting sheep.
1:10:20
I'll bet they're black ones...
1:10:22
like Amboy and his pals.
1:10:24
And Brant and Hollis.
1:10:26
And Fran Page.
1:10:28
Are you sure her murder
was tied up with Drake's?
1:10:32
I think it adds up.
1:10:34
Fran Page was going to talk.
1:10:36
If she intended to pin
the Drake murder on Hollis...
1:10:39
why should anyone
have wanted to kill her?
1:10:41
Hollis is hopelessly insane...
1:10:43
totally unresponsible for his acts.
1:10:46
She was obviously going to pin it
on someone else.
1:10:49
And that someone else did away with her.
1:10:51
Then with Hollis in his present condition
and taking the blame...
1:10:55
this someone else probably feels
pretty safe.
1:10:58
But suppose Hollis regained his senses?
