:46:01
Yes, I'm on my way
down to my cabin for a rest.

:46:05
- Would you like an itinerary?
- Hey, I'm sorry. I'm makin' a pest of myself.

:46:10
- No.
- Yes, yes, I am. I know.

:46:13
It's because I keep askin' these questions,
but I'll tell you, I can't help myself.

:46:18
It's a habit. I take it you're not goin' alone.
:46:21
- Whatever gave you that idea?
- I noticed the two bottles of champagne.

:46:26
Oh, those. Oh, I'm quite capable
of drinking those two bottles

:46:29
and a good deal more without any help.
:46:31
Now, if you'll excuse me, Lieutenant.
:46:35
Yeah. Listen,
unless you just wanna take a second

:46:38
to know how we're progressing
on your partner's list.

:46:41
Oh? Anything concrete?
:46:44
No, not a thing. Just like you predicted.
:46:47
Everyone said
they never even heard of James Ferris.

:46:51
That's just as I expected. Well,
it was lovely to chat with you, Lieutenant.

:47:03
- Mr Franklin?
- Yeah?

:47:05
- Do you have a minute?
- Is it important?

:47:08
It could be. You see, I was checking
the phone company records in San Diego.

:47:14
Why would you want to do that, Lieutenant?
:47:17
I have to do that. It's part of my job.
I got to tie up loose ends.

:47:21
Anyway, on the day of the murder,
there was a record of a call from the cabin.

:47:26
It was a call to the Ferris house
in Los Angeles.

:47:29
I see. And now you're wondering whether
I can explain that. Is that right?

:47:33
- I'm sure you can.
- You're right. I can.

:47:36
But you would've saved us a great deal
of trouble if you'd checked with Joanna first.

:47:41
She would've explained I'd spoken to her,
:47:43
telling her Jim and I had
patched up our differences.

:47:47
What do you mean by differences?
:47:49
You see, ironing out any difficulties
in a separation is never easy.

:47:53
I knew Joanna would be concerned,
and I wanted to put her mind at ease.

:47:57
Can you understand that?
:47:59
- Yeah, that's understandable.
- Fine. Is that all?
