:49:02
It's all done by the computer.
:49:04
It's really... It's unbelievable.
:49:07
Hmm. What did you want
to see me about, Lieutenant, exactly?

:49:11
Er... You see, Mrs Williams,
now that a murder's been committed

:49:18
it's my job to look at this case
from all possible angles.

:49:21
Isn't it your job to catch the kidnapper?
:49:24
The federal agents and our men are on that.
:49:27
- Very reassuring.
- Yes, it is. They do a fine job.

:49:31
But you see, the thing is, with me...
:49:35
- I'm a strange guy.
- Really?

:49:37
Yeah, I worry. Little things bother me.
:49:40
I'm a worrier.
:49:42
I mean... Little insignificant details -
I lose my appetite, I can't eat.

:49:46
My wife says to me,
"You know, you can really be a pain."

:49:50
- You know what I mean.
- I get the general picture.

:49:54
- Why don't you get on with it?
- Sure. Right.

:49:59
There are certain things
about your husband's kidnapping,

:50:03
certain details that...
:50:06
- Does this lighter work?
- Yes.

:50:16
- Boy, they really nag me.
- Such as?

:50:19
- The bag, for instance.
- Which bag?

:50:24
The one you dropped from the plane
with the ransom money.

:50:28
- Didn't I say which bag it was?
- No, you didn't.

:50:31
- (Tuts) I'm sorry. I thought I did.
- What about the bag?

:50:36
I thought, it's funny
that whoever took the money,

:50:41
- they didn't take the bag.
- What's funny about that?

:50:44
You figure a kidnapper
is afraid to get caught

:50:46
so he's not likely to stop,
open a bag, take the money out,

:50:50
then run away and leave the bag.
:50:54
Well, of course, you know more than I do,
but don't people under stress

:50:58
act more out of immediate emotion
than logic?
