Can't I get my lawyer ? It's my right !
:30:02
We can make a call from the Police station.
:30:05
We wouldn't wanna do anything unconstitutional.
: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...

:31:03
is the normal recreation of noble minds, sir.
:31:06
Who or what the hell are you ?
:31:15
Detective Inspector Doppler, sir.
:31:21
It is spelled like "Dopple,"
:31:25
which, as I'm sure you know,
:31:29
means "double"...
:31:32
in German.
:31:35
And for those whose minds...
:31:39
run to these things,
:31:42
it is virtually...
:31:44
an anagram...
:31:46
of the word "plodder."
:31:51
So...
:31:54
Inspector Plodder...
:31:57
becomes Inspector Doppler,
