:32:01
Exactly.
:32:03
And since they're just out from LA,
:32:05
I guess, in a way,
it's sort of your jurisdiction, Lieutenant.

:32:10
Or, at least, your problem.
:32:14
(Man) The possibility of murder?
That's ridiculous.

:32:18
(Dori) What difference does it make?
Dead is dead, isn't it?

:32:23
Now, this talk of the fact
that it is not an accident, I...

:32:28
Well, the Lieutenant was here again today
:32:31
and he said that they always
have to investigate.

:32:34
It's probably just routine. He didn't want
to bother me too much, I guess.

:32:38
Anyway, he's gone looking for Roger.
:32:42
Oh, did I...
:32:45
Did I tell you that David had decided
:32:47
to put Roger in the legal department?
:32:50
Did he?
:32:52
That is something of a switch.
:32:54
Roger and I have become friendly.
:32:57
I know he's made mistakes in the past
but I think he's coming along very well.

:33:02
I could never understand
why David didn't like him better.

:33:06
Course, I never understood Roger
too well, myself.

:33:09
But I've tried to do the best I could for him.
:33:12
And he is a Stanford.
:33:15
Somehow, I always thought
he might be in charge someday.

:33:24
Everett, you don't think David
was murdered, do you?

:33:30
Of course not. No.
:33:35
Look, you just let me handle everything.
:33:38
We're not even going to talk
about business for a while yet.

:33:41
I'll take care of it all.
Newspapers, arrangements.

:33:44
I know it's a dreadful thing to say
:33:47
but I'm so glad you're next in line.
:33:50
I need someone I can trust.
:33:52
You just leave everything to me
:33:54
and if either you or Roger
have any problems with the police,

:33:59
you let me know.
