:19:02
That one over there,
:19:04
and this one over here.
:19:08
- They look like bullet holes to me, sir.
- Quite right, Inspector.
:19:12
So they are.
:19:14
Oh, I understood you, sir,
:19:16
say that you used a blank.
:19:18
Two live bullets to set up the trick,
and one blank to complete it.
:19:22
I had to persuade Tindle I was in earnest.
:19:24
Oh, I see, sir. One blank.
:19:27
Then would you just show me please, sir,
where Mr. Tindle was when you killed him ?
:19:32
Pretended to kill him, you mean.
:19:34
Quite so. Then would you show me...
:19:38
exactly where he was when the bullet hit him.
:19:40
I keep telling you, it was not a real bullet !
:19:44
So you do, sir. So you do.
:19:46
Very well then. Where was he...
:19:48
when the blank cartridge was fired ?
:19:52
He was standing, or I should say kneeling,
:19:54
or more accurately cowering, here.
:20:04
- About here, you say, sir ?
- Two steps down.
:20:09
- That's it.
- Were you close to Mr. Tindle
when you fired the gun ?
:20:14
Oh, very. I was standing over him, in
fact, with the gun against his head.
:20:17
You see, it was the actual feel of the gun,
:20:20
coupled with the noise of the explosion,
:20:21
that did the trick.
:20:37
The traditional tool of your trade, Inspector ?
