[Harold]
I only read two chapters.
:04:01
- No other clues?
- Not so far.
:04:04
- [Janice] What time they fiind him?
- Early evening.
:04:07
They never said
what the caliber ofthe bullet was.
:04:10
- Apparently .38.
- There it is again-- "Apparently."
:04:13
It made an entry wound characteristic of
a .38. They couldn't recover the slug.
:04:17
Hey, we're getting somewhere.
:04:20
You guys figure it out.
I have Far East journals to read.
:04:23
Was the slug smashed
against the wall?
:04:25
No. As a matter offact,
there was no exit wound.
:04:28
We're not getting anywhere.
Finish the book, Harold.
:04:35
Hi. What we've got so far is--
:04:37
Ice.
:04:39
Instead oflead. Ice!
:04:42
The murderer pours water
into a .38 caliber mold,
:04:44
freezes it, and keeps it solid
until the crime.
:04:48
Then he shoots the guy
with the ice bullet.
:04:50
Cops show up, there'sjust
a few drops ofwater.
:04:53
- No bullet, no ballistics.
- That's great.
:04:56
- Hey.
- Yeah?
:04:59
What is this?
:05:02
Mmm. Calligraphy's
getting beautiful.
:05:04
- What is it?
- Ten. That means heaven.
:05:06
That's it? Nothing else?
:05:08
Well, it can mean the best.
Tops sometimes. Why?
:05:13
I'm not sure.
:05:15
We're going to Sam
and Mae's tonight, right?
:05:18
- Mm-hmm.
- Why don'tyou talk to Sam about it?
:05:20
- About this?
- Mm-hmm.
:05:22
I did. He says, "That's interesting,
but it's not my department."
:05:26
Which means he doesn't think
there's anything,just like Dr. Lappe.
:05:30
- And you.
- Well, there's not much.
:05:35
- A mystery that's been translated?
- A mystery that didn't sell...
:05:37
has been translated into
a very odd assortment of languages--
:05:40
Turkish, but not French,
Arabic, but not Russian...
:05:43
or German... Dutch.
:05:45
Spanish?
:05:47
Yes. Yes.
:05:51
Hey, where'd you get that thing
about the ice? Dashiell Hammett?
:05:54
DickTracy.
Areyou sure about this ideogram?
:05:58
Look at this face.
Could I be wrong about an ideogram?
