: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

:30:05

:30:09
Come now, sir. Don't despair.
:30:11
You may get off with as
little as seven years.
:30:14
Seven years ?
:30:16
Seven years to regret the playing
of silly games that go wrong.
:30:21
Spare me the sentiment ! It didn't go wrong !
It all went bloody well right !
:30:25
You think so, do you, sir ?
:30:29
We real-life policemen...
:30:31
are not as stupid as we
are sometimes portrayed...
:30:35
by writers like yourself.
:30:37
We may not have our monocles...
:30:40
or our orchid houses or our deerstalkers...
:30:43
or our shovel hats,
:30:45
but we are reasonably effective
for all that, sir.
:30:49
You seem to know a hell of a lot about
detective stories, Inspector !
:30:53
Yes. I have read quite a few in my time, sir.
:30:57
And in recent years,
:30:59
I have come to believe
that the detective story...
