:20:00
If Luke Standish ever comes out here,
he'll be real sorry.
:20:04
You hush. That ain't no way
to talk, Miss Charlotte.
:20:08
Now, you come on.
Get yourself dressed.
:20:12
Velma'll go downstairs
and fix you a nice breakfast.
:20:17
Don't you worry about that sheriff
when he comes out here.
:20:21
Velma'll get rid of him.
:20:23
Yes, sir.
:20:26
Yes, sir.
:20:51
It's not very often
we have a homicide...
:20:53
and never able to find
the victim's head and hand.
:20:57
I'm not much concerned about
examining your credentials, Mr. Wills.
:21:01
I'm happy to go along
with anything you say.
:21:04
I just have my doubts about
what you can expect to find.
:21:08
We've had newsmen and all sorts
comin' down here for 35 years or more...
:21:12
and none of'em any the wiser.
:21:14
I don't expect to unearth
anything extraordinary.
:21:17
After all, there's
nothing really unusual...
:21:19
about an unclaimed
insurance policy.
:21:21
It's just that
I don't want to upset anybody.
:21:24
So if you'll just go along
with my little masquerade...
:21:26
of a reporter from one
of our more esoteric crime magazines...
:21:30
I'd be most awfully grateful to you.
:21:33
Well, Mr. Wills, since you've come
all the way from London, England to see us...
:21:36
I guess we'll just
have to oblige you...
:21:39
esoteric magazines and all.
:21:42
I'm sorry, Mr. Standish.
:21:44
You're gonna to have to come out to the
Hollis place. We got real trouble this time.
:21:50
What a remarkable coincidence.
:21:52
By the way, Sheriff...
:21:54
I wonder if you could arrange
for me to meetJewel Mayhew?
:21:57
I guess we'll just
have to oblige you.
:21:59
Thank you very much.
