:48:01
There were two derelicts seen in the area.
:48:04
I have their description.
I sent them over to your office, copies.

:48:08
Right. I'll have that checked out.
:48:11
Anything new on your end?
:48:13
Oh, yeah. Yeah, we got a couple of things.
:48:18
It seems as though Mrs Kennicut
was having an affair, you see?

:48:22
Erm...
:48:25
Boy, this is delicious.
How do you make this stuff?

:48:30
I'll have a recipe sent over to you.
You were saying?

:48:34
Yeah. It seems as though Mrs Kennicut,
she was having an affair.

:48:41
- And, er...
- Oh?

:48:43
And... When you send the recipe,
would you send it to the house?

:48:46
- Don't send it to the office.
- Yes, I'll send it to your house.

:48:50
Yes, she was having an affair
with some golf pro at some country club.

:48:55
Here's the interesting thing.
:48:57
Not only were they having an affair, but it
seems as though they were being watched.

:49:02
Now, I got this nutty notion.
:49:04
Suppose Mr Kennicut...
:49:08
I'll tell you, it's too far-fetched.
:49:10
Sometimes it helps to test it out. Try me.
:49:13
It's really crazy.
Well, listen. It doesn't cost anything.

:49:18
Suppose Mr Kennicut hired
somebody to check up on his wife.

:49:24
And this somebody lied to him.
:49:28
He said to Mr Kennicut, "Look, your wife,
she's got a clean bill of health."

:49:33
Now this somebody, whoever it is,
:49:36
he's in a perfect position
to blackmail Mrs Kennicut.

:49:39
Now, suppose she refuses.
:49:42
See? She says,
"No, I'm gonna go tell my husband."

:49:47
I think it's a terrific motive, don't you?
:49:50
Lieutenant, you have
a marvellously convoluted mind.

:49:54
- I do?
- I like it.

:49:56
The trouble with your theory is
not only is it very tenuous,
