to chairman a meeting up
in my district next week.
1:15:04
- I'm standing for election.
- Glad to.
1:15:06
- S-Sylvia all right?
- Yes, fine.
1:15:08
Good.
1:15:10
Uh, I see the papers say
you've found Carson's wallet.
1:15:14
Yes. Yes, Carson's papers were in it.
1:15:16
- That's how we identified it.
- That was stupid.
1:15:18
- What?
- Leaving the papers. At least, I'd say it was stupid.
1:15:22
Would you? Huh.
I'd say too clever.
1:15:26
I ran into Bradshaw.
He's certain it was a housebreaker.
1:15:30
Was he really?
I wonder why.
1:15:33
Is there any other
possibility?
1:15:35
A policeman has to keep
his eyes open, you know.
1:15:37
A chap my age
can't afford to miss a bit.
1:15:39
Particularly with the governor all stirred up.
1:15:42
You mean, it might have been made
to look like a thief s handiwork?
1:15:46
My dear fellow,
how would I know?
1:15:48
There are 15 possibilities.
I'm in the dark.
1:15:51
Which is the likeliest?
1:15:53
Never have preconceptions, my boy.
Open mind, that's the thing.
1:15:58
- Huh.
- You mustn't look too disappointed.
1:16:00
The work gets done.
Never fear.
1:16:03
Let's say I've guessed
who the murderer is.
1:16:06
A guess, mind you.
No more.
1:16:08
Well, it wouldn't do me the slightest
of good, my dear fellow. Not the slightest.
1:16:12
A court wants proof.
So, l- I just wait.
1:16:16
Patience, my boy.
That's the ticket.
1:16:19
Yes, I know that sounds-
sounds dull to you impatient chaps...
1:16:22
but that's police work.
1:16:24
Oh, he'll probably play into my hands,
whoever the fellow is.
1:16:27
I'm in no hurry.
1:16:29
You know, l- I said something
like that to a bloke once.
1:16:32
I can't remember who.
1:16:35
Oh, middle age, my boy,
no memory at all.
1:16:37
Oh, yes. Yes, in B.G.
1:16:39
That's where it was. Yes.
Yes, forgery.
1:16:42
What put me on to my man
was a- a slip he made.
1:16:45
Tiny one. Hardly noticed it.
1:16:47
Chap said "afterward" instead of "after."
1:16:52
Get the point?
Absolutely the key.
1:16:55
No. No, probably not.
1:16:57
I suppose I didn't explain it properly.
