:28:03
but that it went wrong.
:28:05
Your third shot was not a blank,
as you had supposed,
:28:08
but a live bullet that killed
Mr. Tindle stone dead,
:28:14
spattering blood on the bannisters
in the process !
:28:18
Then, when you realized what you'd done,
:28:21
you simply panicked, like a
thousand murderers before you,
:28:25
and buried the corpse in the garden.
:28:29
It was very silly of you...
:28:31
not to clean the blood properly off
the bannisters and burn his clothes.
:28:34
I swear, Tindle left here alive !
:28:37
At the risk of appearing facetious, sir,
:28:40
you had better tell that to the judge.
:28:42
Look, there's only one way
of dealing with this.
:28:43
If you think Tindle's out in
the garden, for Christ's sake,
:28:46
why don't you go and dig him up !
- We don't need to find him, sir.
:28:49
If Mr. Tindle is not beneath
that newly-turned earth,
:28:52
it will merely go to indicate
that in your panic,
:28:55
you first thought of putting him
there, changed your mind, and
buried him somewhere else.
:28:58
- Where ?
- Oh, that's not important, sir.
:29:01
He'll turn up sooner or later.
:29:03
And if he doesn't, it scarcely matters.
:29:06
We have your note summoning Mr. Tindle here,
:29:09
shots were heard, bullet holes made,
:29:11
blood is on the bannisters and the carpet,
:29:14
his clothes were hidden in your wardrobe,
and he had disappeared.
:29:18
Who needs a body ?
:29:22
Sir, come along, then.
:29:26
It's time to go.
- No ! I can't believe--
:29:28
I'm afraid-- I'm afraid, sir,
:29:31
that I must insist.
:29:33
There is a Police car at
the end of the driveway.
:29:35
I don't care if you've got a fleet of
Police cars ! I'm not bloody well going !
:29:52
Now, let's have no problems, sir.
:29:54
Please don't make it difficult.
- Christ ! You're hurting my arm !
:29:57
You give me no alternative.
If you'll just come quiet.
