:56:01
No, I was wondering, General,
:56:04
have you heard about that body
they found off Marago Cove?
:56:08
Colonel Dutton? Yeah, I just heard about it.
Just came on the radio.
:56:12
That's shocking.
:56:15
- Any idea what happened?
- Yes, sir.
:56:18
Somebody shot him, sir.
:56:20
I guess they weighted him down
and then they just dumped him.
:56:23
- Is that a fact?
- Yeah.
:56:26
I guess the sharks must have cut through
whatever was holding him down.
:56:31
This is very interesting, Lieutenant,
but why are you telling me this?
:56:36
Well, sir, to protect you.
:56:41
- Protect me?
- Yes, sir.
:56:44
I know that this is ridiculous
but the fellas down there at the department,
:56:50
they say they've got
a pretty good case against you.
:56:52
- Oh?
- Yeah.
:56:55
- They're way out of line, I know that.
- Of course.
:56:58
But they have these ideas,
and it could be embarrassing.
:57:03
I tell ya, I kinda hate to get into it,
a man of your stature...
:57:07
- By all means, get into it, Lieutenant.
- Yes, sir.
:57:17
Take motive.
:57:19
Your construction company got a lot
of contracts through Colonel Dutton.
:57:24
So did hundreds of other companies.
:57:26
But it seems as though he was being
investigated by the Inspector General.
:57:30
If he were killed,
there would be no way of proving
:57:33
a conspiracy to defraud the government.
:57:37
If there's no one around,
perhaps that means it doesn't exist.
:57:41
Right. Right. That's a good point.
:57:45
Er, there's one other thing.
:57:48
The morning after he disappeared,
:57:51
you went out on your yacht.
:57:53
Sheer coincidence.
:57:55
Yeah, it probably is but we do know
that the body was disposed of at sea.
