1:05:03
A lot safer.
1:05:07
I hope she's right.
1:05:09
- Well, let's look in this, huh?
- Yes, I'd like to know what they found.

1:05:13
Let's see what we have.
1:05:15
Aha.
1:05:32
Why, that's...
1:05:34
That's David's cigar box.
1:05:36
I told you this would be worth
coming out for, didn't I?

1:05:40
Yeah. Yeah, it sure is.
1:05:43
You see, except for the hinges, which are a
little shaky, this whole thing is in one piece.

1:05:48
This means that David
was not murdered, doesn't it?

1:05:51
Yes, sir. Yes. This changes everything.
1:05:53
There's no question about it, yeah.
1:05:56
Er... Must have been the gas tank after all.
1:05:59
Oh, that's comforting news.
1:06:02
I mean, for her.
1:06:04
Even so, I'm afraid she's not going
to be happy to see me up there.

1:06:08
Why? Do you think
that she blamed you for his death?

1:06:11
Well, I certainly do.
1:06:14
After all, I was fighting David
on this sell business. Everybody knew that.

1:06:19
I figured some troublemaker misunderstood
and stole the box out of my office.

1:06:24
Fortunately, I was wrong.
That cigar box looks so good to me!

1:06:29
Now, if I can just get Doris
to tell me why she let me go.

1:06:32
- I can tell you that.
- You can?

1:06:35
Yeah. She fired you for a couple of reasons.
1:06:38
Those secret meetings with the competition.
1:06:41
- That patent sold to a friend very cheaply.
- What? Those are lies.

1:06:45
Really? Mr Quincy wrote them down
in a report to Mr Buckner.

1:06:49
Then Quincy made them up himself.
They're simply not true.

1:06:53
You promised Aunt Dori never to mention
that. Are you trying to cause trouble?

1:06:57
It doesn't make any difference now.
Everything's changed now, because of this.
