:26:01
There's a-They have a-
have a secret together.
:26:04
There's a-There's
a deep bond between them.
:26:07
It's rather like a love affair...
:26:09
because the detective is the only man
in the world who understands him.
:26:13
And in his heart, the murderer wants
to be found out by the detective.
:26:18
Now, this fellow
in the Carson case, you know...
:26:20
what I'd like to do
is to go up to him...
:26:22
take him by the arm
and tell him not to worry.
:26:26
"I'll do my best for you,"
I want to say to him.
:26:29
"I'm not out to punish you.
I'm not out to punish anyone.
:26:32
"It's just that I've got to maintain law and order.
But I mean you no harm.
:26:37
"We'll-We'll get it fixed
as manslaughter.
:26:40
"That might mean
only five years...
:26:42
"and the sentence could
be remitted for good behavior.
:26:45
"It might be only three years.
:26:47
"I know that sounds
a long time now, but...
:26:49
"three years passes very quickly.
:26:52
"Now, you look back three years.
Does it seem a long time?
:26:55
"No, of course it doesn't.
:26:57
"And, after all, three years
isn't such a big price to pay...
:27:00
"for your peace of mind.
:27:02
So, come now.
Confess. Tell me."
:27:06
[Chuckles]
Well, that's what I'd like to say to the poor devil...
:27:09
if he came to me.
:27:11
Well, I'll be seeing you.
:27:13
Oh, that book, Crime and Punishment,
I'll send it over to you.
:27:16
When you get a chance,
you read it.
:27:20
Yes.
