:33:00
Unless you stop in your partner's research.
:33:02
- They're trying to scare you.
- Exactly.
:33:05
Right. So what are you gonna do?
:33:08
Are you gonna continue writing the book?
:33:11
No, that's the irony of it.
That was Jim's pet project, not mine.
:33:16
I wouldn't even know where to begin.
:33:18
I guess they didn't know
you two were gonna split up.
:33:21
Nah. Even if they did,
it wouldn't have done Jim any good.
:33:26
I must say, Lieutenant,
you're up against a dead end.
:33:29
Look at this. You got a body,
you got a motive,
:33:33
but you're never gonna find that killer.
:33:36
It's not gonna be easy.
:33:38
I'll lay you 5 to 1 it was someone
in Las Vegas or Miami.
:33:42
Picked up a phone and put out a contract.
:33:44
Right.
:33:46
How you're gonna make a case,
much less solve one, is beyond me.
:33:50
I know. I guess the only thing I can do is
check out every name on that list.
:33:54
Know what's gonna happen? Every one
of them is gonna deny Jim even existed.
:33:58
Right.
:34:00
- I must say I don't envy you.
- I don't envy myself.
:34:03
I got a lot of phone calls to make.
I'd better get on it.
:34:06
- All the luck.
- Thanks. Thanks a lot, Mr Franklin.
:34:10
I'm very sorry about what happened tonight.
:34:13
- Thank you.
- Right.
:34:18
You, uh...
:34:21
- You will keep me posted, Lieutenant?
- Oh, yes, I will.
:34:24
There's one thing I'm not clear about.
But that can wait. You wanna go to bed.
:34:30
Lieutenant, I'm not gonna get
any sleep anyway. What is it?
:34:34
Would you go over for me once again
:34:36
exactly what happened
when you came home tonight?
:34:39
Sure. I've already told you, but the moment
I saw Jim's body in the middle of the lawn,
:34:45
I came in here and I picked up
the phone and I called you.
:34:48
I mean, it's a purely reflexive action.
:34:51
Uh-huh. Right. Uh-huh.
:34:54
- That's fine.
- Wait. You look like you're troubled.
:34:57
Is there some reason for your question?
