:37:01
It's been testified that your wife
swore to you on a rosary...

:37:04
that she'd been raped
by Barney Quill.

:37:06
Did you ask your wife
to swear on a rosary?

:37:10
My wife was hysterical.
She wasn't making much sense.

:37:13
I thought if I asked her to take
an oath on a rosary...

:37:16
it might serve to calm her,
make her think more clearly.

:37:19
Did the rosary help?
:37:21
She was able to tell me
in detail what had happened.

:37:23
All right. Go on from there.
What did you do then, Lieutenant?

:37:27
Well, I--
:37:29
I had her lie on the bed,
and I got some cold cloths...

:37:33
for her head.
:37:35
And, uh--
Oh, yes. I gave her a drink of brandy.

:37:40
After a while, she became calm,
seemed to go to sleep.

:37:45
Then I went to the closet...
:37:47
I got my gun,
and I loaded it.

:37:49
Was it in your mind
to kill Barney Quill?

:37:52
No.
:37:53
Then why did you go to the closet
and get your gun and load it?

:37:56
I knew I had to go to Quill's place.
I thought I might need it.

:38:00
Why?
:38:02
I knew Mr. Quill kept guns
behind the bar.

:38:04
I was afraid he might shoot me.
:38:06
Might shoot you if you did what?
:38:08
What were you going to do?
:38:11
I'm not sure.
:38:13
I remember having some idea...
:38:16
of finding him...
:38:18
and holding him
while I call the police.

:38:21
Well, that Mr. Whatshisname--
:38:23
Mr. Lemon at the tourist court there,
he was a deputy sheriff.

:38:26
Why didn't you get him
to go with you?

:38:28
Maybe because he always
seemed to be just...

:38:30
the old caretaker of the park.
:38:34
Maybe because I wasn't thinking
about anything too clearly...

:38:37
except finding Barney Quill.
:38:39
Why didn't you go to a phone, call
the police before you went to the bar?

:38:43
I don't know.
:38:45
I was in sort of a daze.
:38:48
It was a horrible thing to see
what had been done to my wife.

:38:51
Now, you say you were in
sort of a daze.

:38:53
When you got to the bar,
did you see that the bar was crowded?

:38:59
I didn't see anyone at the bar...
