Arthur.
1:00:15
I should have phoned, but there wasn't time.
1:00:18
It's all right.
One of my men told me you were here.

1:00:21
- Something break?
- I don't know yet.

1:00:23
They're exhuming Lenore's body.
1:00:33
- Tell me why.
- The lieutenant's working on a long shot.

1:00:37
Apparently, she was wearing
her contact lenses when she was killed.

1:00:41
How's that significant?
1:00:43
There's a chance
that she might have lost one of them,

1:00:46
maybe both of them,
at the scene of the crime.

1:00:52
Well, Arthur, I don't like to be critical,
but that's more than a long shot.

1:00:58
- You might as well buy a lottery ticket.
- Maybe not. Listen to me.

1:01:02
My nephew wears them
and half the time they're falling out.

1:01:06
The other morning at breakfast,
one ended up in the cereal.

1:01:09
Mrs Kennicut is not your nephew,
Lieutenant.

1:01:12
Mrs Kennicut was struck forcibly.
Now, let's bear that in mind.

1:01:16
Isn't it possible they were knocked loose?
1:01:19
Anything's possible. The autopsy report
said nothing about any of this at all.

1:01:24
Forget about that.
I checked with the medical examiner.

1:01:27
They snuffed it off.
They didn't bother to look.

1:01:30
All they were concerned about
was cause of death.

1:01:33
(Man) Lieutenant!
1:01:42
(Brimmer) Well, I hope it's not a waste.
1:01:45
What else can I do?
I've got to pursue every possibility.

1:01:49
It's almost a criminal breach to disappoint
you now after what you've been through.
