1:25:01
I wanna tell you, not only will I not
get mixed up in this thing,
1:25:05
I'm extremely disinterested
in the whole thing.
1:25:08
Don't get excited.
Just do me a favor. Leave...
1:25:11
Please leave me alone.
1:25:12
- I'm very busy.
- Just listen to me for a moment.
1:25:16
I know you very well,
and I know you're a sweet man,
1:25:19
and you would never forgive yourself
if something terrible happened,
1:25:23
and it could.
I can just see the headlines.
1:25:26
"Mr. Hofstedder.
He Could Have Saved Her."
1:25:31
Would it say that?
1:25:33
Of course, it would.
1:25:35
Wait a minute, don't get excited.
1:25:36
You don't have to do a thing,
just back me up if I get in trouble.
1:25:40
- Who are you calling?
- It's all right, just the FBI.
1:25:43
Oh, the FB... The FBI?
1:25:47
Well, sir, I just hated
to give up on this cat angle.
1:25:51
Zeke, you know as well as I do,
we haven't an iota of evidence
1:25:54
- to connect Miller with that watch.
- [Buzzing]
1:25:57
- Yes?
- Emergency call for Agent Kelso.
1:26:00
Put it through.
1:26:02
Agent Kelso speaking.
1:26:04
[With accent]
This is Daphne Hofstedder speaking
1:26:07
of Hofstedder's Jewelry Store,
1833 West Mapleton Avenue.
1:26:12
Yes, may I help you?
1:26:13
I heard you were
looking for information
1:26:17
concerning a certain watch.
1:26:20
- Yes, we are.
- Well, a couple of weeks ago,
1:26:24
a woman came into the shop
to buy a band for her watch.
1:26:29
Uh, what was the name? Oh.
1:26:33
- A Miss Margaret Miller.
- Margaret Miller?
1:26:36
Would you describe this band
that you sold to Miss Miller?
1:26:39
Uh... expandable.
1:26:42
Uh... it was gold-plated.
1:26:45
Rather inferior, not expensive.
1:26:48
- And the watch?
- Seventeen jewels,
1:26:51
rather rectangular-shaped,
1:26:54
with raised filigree...
things on the face.
1:26:59
Rectangular with raised filigree.
