:25:00
Or, if he'd been hoping for a golden egg,
why kill the goose before it was laid?
:25:05
No motive. No motive whatsoever.
:25:09
- You find some flaw in this reasoning?
- No, no, it's very sound as far as it goes.
:25:14
Well, it's all yours. You'll find Mr Vole
very responsive and quite candid.
:25:18
So candid, he's already told me
we'll have to sue him for our fees.
:25:22
Oh, we'll simply put a lean
on Mr Vole's $80,000.
:25:25
- What $80,000?
- The $80,000 Mrs French left you.
:25:30
Left me?
:25:31
They opened Mrs French's
bank vault today and found her will.
:25:37
- Congratulations.
- $80,000!
:25:41
And I was worried about a couple
of hundred for that silly eggbeater.
:25:45
I must call Christine.
:25:51
Oh.
:25:52
This doesn't make things
look any better for me, does it?
:25:55
- No. I wouldn't think so.
- So now they'll say I did have a motive.
:25:59
They will indeed. $80,000 makes for
a very handsome motive.
:26:04
I thought you were crazy
but now they will arrest me!
:26:07
It's not unlikely.
:26:16
As a matter of fact, it's quite likely.
They're on their way up now.
:26:19
I knew nothing about that will. I'd no idea
she'd any intention of leaving me money.
:26:24
- If I didn't know, how can it be a motive?
- We'll certainly bring that out in court.
:26:28
- It's our old friend Inspector Hearne.
- Chief Inspector as of last month.
:26:32
Chief Inspector? They must think
a lot of you at Scotland Yard.
:26:36
You're getting the de luxe treatment.
:26:39
- Oh, in here, Chief Inspector.
- Sorry to disturb you in your chambers.
:26:44
That's perfectly all right.
I never object to the actions of the police
:26:48
- except once in a great while in court.
- Yes, sir, I still have the scars.
:26:52
You know Mr Mayhew, Mr Brogan-Moore.
:26:54
This is Leonard Vole. You'd better search
him, he may be armed with an eggbeater.
:26:59
- Is your name Leonard Vole?
- Yes, it is.
