: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?
:49:01
It was freshly cut and it was sticky
as it was at night and there was dew.

:49:08
That's very good.
:49:10
He must have had particles
of grass on his shoes

:49:14
but they were probably
brushed off on the carpet

:49:17
and, unfortunately, the room's been cleaned.
:49:20
Yeah. I know.
:49:23
Well, unless there's something else...
:49:25
Just one more thing.
:49:27
I guess Charles has the stepladder by now.
:49:30
- I would think.
- Yeah.

:49:33
All right, then.
:49:37
The other morning when I was over here
I noticed these potted plants.

:49:42
- How observant.
- They're very pretty, you know.

:49:45
But I got to thinking, "Sometimes
people keep a spare key outside"

:49:50
"just in case they forget their own key."
:49:54
Do you see this?
:49:56
What?
:49:58
- This imprint here.
- Yes. What about it?
