1:34:02
Right up the wall.
1:34:03
Then...
1:34:05
...right down again.
1:34:21
And you contend, Mr. Burbank...
1:34:24
...that Mr. Ford was simply conducting a dry run?
1:34:28
Merely testing a murder plan for his comic strip?
1:34:33
Precisely, sir!
1:34:34
You see, Mr. Ford would never ask
Bash Brannigan...
1:34:38
...to do anything
that he hadn't already done himself.
1:34:42
including murder his wife?
1:34:46
Well....
1:34:48
Has it occurred to you, Mr. Burbank...
1:34:51
...that Mr. Ford perhaps wanted you to think
it was only a dry run?
1:34:57
The night was dark, was it not?
1:34:59
Yes, sir, but you--
1:35:01
And by your own admission, you observed
and photographed the entire operation...
1:35:05
...from a hotel window
no closer than a block away?
1:35:09
Quite, sir, but--
1:35:10
Then for all you know, it was Mrs. Ford's body...
1:35:14
...he buried in the wet cement?
1:35:23
I say....
1:35:25
You don't....
1:35:27
You don't actually mean....
1:35:29
But of course! You're absolutely right!
1:35:32
What a silly ninny I was
not to have seen through him before!
1:35:36
Of course he did it!
1:35:40
Congratulations, sir!
1:35:41
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
1:35:44
Do you know you had me completely fooled?
1:35:46
I thought it was a dummy! Even I!
1:35:49
That makes me a bit of a dummy, doesn't it, sir?
1:35:52
I can't tell you how happy I am.
1:35:54
Ill give Mr. Rawlins my notice
and take up residence early next week.
1:35:58
The prosecution rests.
