:47:00
Lieutenant, you haven't
asked me your question.
:47:03
- Are you headed home?
- Yes.
:47:06
Do you mind if I meet you there?
It's to do with your house.
:47:09
- Is this really necessary?
- In a way, yes.
:47:12
I promise it won't take long.
:47:14
All right. I'll meet you there.
:47:16
Lieutenant? Your cigar.
:47:28
Oh, good afternoon, ma'am.
:47:30
Good afternoon.
:47:32
Oh, Charles, our lieutenant
requires a stepladder.
:47:36
Would you be good enough
to get one for him?
:47:39
Yes, ma'am. Another experiment, sir?
:47:42
Well, I guess you could call it that, yeah.
:47:47
- Experiment, Lieutenant?
- Uh-huh.
:47:50
Like I said, I was out here earlier.
:47:52
Hey, why don't I show it to you?
:47:57
Now... you figure that your brother had to
walk around the side of the house like this.
:48:03
- Is that right?
- Yes, and the coroner's jury figured it too.
:48:06
Right.
:48:08
Now, you see, he had to walk on grass.
:48:12
- (Laughing) Is there some point to this?
- Yes, ma'am, there is.
:48:17
You see, now this grass is kind of dry
because the sun's been out.
:48:22
Uh... But today's Thursday.
:48:26
And the gardener
cuts the grass on Thursday.
:48:30
Excuse me a minute.
:48:34
You see? Grass.
:48:38
Yes, well, that's only natural.
:48:40
It certainly is.
:48:42
But, you know, there was no grass
on your brother's shoe.
:48:46
I'm afraid I don't understand.
:48:48
Your brother was shot a week ago,
on Thursday.
:48:51
I looked at the photographs of the body
:48:53
and for the life of me I just couldn't see
any grass on the soles of his shoe.
:48:58
And I couldn't figure that out. Why?
