1:04:04
No. I'll be glad when we get
Mr Richard Blaney inside, though.
1:04:08
Any idea where he is?
1:04:13
No, our only lead to him
left her job this morning.
1:04:16
- l don't know where she is either.
- You're certain he's the one?
1:04:21
Oh, yes, he's... the one, alright.
1:04:23
There's not even the complication
of another suspect.
1:04:26
lt has to be him.
1:04:32
We have him identified as leaving
the matrimonial agency
1:04:35
at the time his ex was killed.
1:04:38
We have the clothes which he sent
off to the cleaners in a hurry.
1:04:43
And we have the evidence of the face powder
1:04:45
and the Salvation Army hostel.
1:04:47
I don't follow you, my dear.
1:04:49
I didn't think the Salvation Army
girls used makeup.
1:04:53
No, Blaney slept in a Salvation Army
hostel the night before last.
1:04:58
- Did he, dear?
- Yes.
1:05:03
He was incautious enough
to tell them his name.
1:05:06
I don't think an ex-RAF officer
would sleep in such a place
1:05:08
- unless he was broke, do you?
- No, l don't.
1:05:12
So, let's assume he was.
1:05:16
Last night, however, he slept in the...
1:05:19
Coburg Hotel in Bayswater,
1:05:20
and paid for his extremely expensive
room with a ten-pound note.
1:05:25
The note bore traces
of Mrs Blaney's face powder.
1:05:29
I mean, the murderer
not only strangled Mrs Blaney,
1:05:32
he stole money from her handbag as well.
1:05:34
Ergo... Blaney is the thief
and also the murderer.
1:05:40
That ties it up then.
1:05:42
Well, I think so.
1:05:45
And furthermore, there is a waitress
1:05:48
at Mrs Blaney's club who can also testify
1:05:50
to Blaney's aggressive behaviour
towards his wife the previous night.
1:05:55
He doesn't seem to have been
very discreet, does he?
1:05:57
No. Discretion is not traditionally
the strong suit of the psychopath.
