1:32:03
Of course it's all right. Nobody's ever
gonna know it wasn't an accident.
1:32:09
Except me, of course.
1:32:12
Which rather tends to make me
the senior partner...
1:32:14
in our little enterprise,
doesn't it?
1:32:17
Charlotte's still asleep.
Do you want me to give her anything else?
1:32:20
No, no. She'll do
quite nicely as she is.
1:32:25
Well, I'd better put in
an appearance in town.
1:32:31
Oh, come on, Miriam.
1:32:33
Don't start weakenin' now.
1:32:36
This may be our last chance
of acquiring the wealth...
1:32:39
to which I'd like
to become accustomed.
1:32:46
See you.
1:32:57
It's all yours, Mr. Wills.
1:32:59
Thank you, Sheriff.
1:33:02
Hi, Mr. Wills.
I'll bet this is the first time...
1:33:05
you've ever seen the county coroner
operate out of a funeral parlor, eh?
1:33:09
Yes. It's a bit different
where I come from.
1:33:12
It's a bit different most places.
1:33:14
Still, for a town of this size,
it's kind of handy.
1:33:18
I just heard the news about
Velma Cruther's death...
1:33:21
at the newspaper office.
1:33:23
- It was Miss Cruther he came to see, wasn't it?
- Oh, yes, indeed, sir.
1:33:27
She certainly had
a nasty accident, all right.
1:33:31
- Would you like to see the body?
- No, thank you.
1:33:34
Oh. Well, step inside anyway.
1:33:42
May I ask how it happened?
1:33:44
Well, it seems she, uh...
she fell off a ladder.
1:33:49
She must have been
up there fixing her roof.
1:33:52
The roof in her place
has always let in the rain.
1:33:55
And, uh, well, it's done it for years.
1:33:59
You mean this happened
at Miss Cruther's home?
