- It's nothing personal.
- I understand.

1:26:06
I'm going to miss you, Lieutenant,
1:26:09
you and all your fascinating little details.
1:26:12
You know, you're something.
1:26:15
You really are something.
1:26:17
- I'll take that as a compliment.
- It is.

1:26:20
- Is it?
- Believe me.

1:26:23
(PA) 'All persons meeting incoming flights
are requested'

1:26:26
'not to go beyond the reception area...'
1:26:28
To you.
1:26:30
'Your cooperation
will be greatly appreciated.'

1:26:33
Here's looking at you, Mrs Williams.
1:26:40
For a while there, I thought,
"I'll never get her."

1:26:45
All those little details didn't make it.
There was nothing conclusive.

1:26:49
Then I thought, it's got to be the money.
1:26:53
- What money?
- The ransom money.

1:26:55
When a person engineers
a false kidnapping,

1:26:57
they have to have
the money hidden somewhere.

1:27:00
It cleaned you out to raise the ransom.
1:27:02
So I thought, "I gotta find a way"
1:27:06
"to force her to use the ransom money."
1:27:09
Thank you very much. It seemed nutty
to everybody, it did to my wife,

1:27:14
but I believed in it because...
1:27:18
Mrs Williams, you have no conscience,
1:27:21
and that's your weakness.
1:27:24
Did it ever occur to you that
there are very few people

1:27:26
that would take money
to forget about a murder?

1:27:30
It didn't, did it? I knew it wouldn't.
1:27:33
No conscience - it limits your imagination.
1:27:37
You can't conceive of anybody
1:27:39
being any different than what you are.
1:27:41
And you're greedy.
1:27:44
And that's why, as bright as you are -
1:27:46
and you're bright -
1:27:49
you believed that Margaret could be bought.
1:27:55
Get to the point. Come on.
1:27:57
Here's the point, Mrs Williams. You see?
