:30:02
- Your father was a chauffeur, right?
- How did you know that?

:30:06
(Chuckles) He was a chauffeur
for the Rainbird family.

:30:09
Right again! You'd be
a hell of a detective, Mr McBride.

:30:13
(Chuckles)
I don't know about that, my dear.

:30:16
Now, during this period of time, though,
can you remember anybody, uh,

:30:20
being a close friend of your father's?
:30:23
Uh, there was a man.
It was way back when I was in school.

:30:26
Uh, there was this guy
that my father used to drink beer with

:30:29
and shoot pool with down in the village.
:30:31
This Harry Shoebridge
had a poultry shop with his wife, Sadie.

:30:36
- (Chuckles)
- Shoebridge.

:30:37
Yeah. His business was always lousy,
:30:41
even when times were good.
:30:42
And she used to have miscarriages
:30:44
like other women have birthdays.
:30:46
Well, they stopped trying,
and they moved away

:30:49
to Barlow Creek,
and, uh, adopted a kid, I think.

:30:53
- A boy?
- Yeah. An infant.

:30:56
But, you know, I'm not so sure.
:30:59
I-It's all kind of hazy, an-and, uh,
:31:02
I keep connecting it with -
:31:04
- (Bell Dinging)
- Well, I remember this night

:31:08
with my dad driving over there
:31:10
to the Shoebridge's all alone,
and then getting in

:31:13
a big fight with ma because
he'd come home at 4:00am,

:31:16
and he wouldn't tell her
what he was doing or something.

:31:19
Now, after my dad passed away -
God rest his soul -

:31:23
my ma was damn mad
at the Shoebridge's,

:31:26
because they
never showed up at the funeral.

:31:28
- Then she found out why.
- Why?

:31:33
A year earlier,
they'd gone to their own funeral.

:31:36
- Dead?
- Mm-hm.

:31:38
- Their house burned down with them in.
- Well, what about the son?

:31:42
(Woman) Mrs Hannagan!
Can't you see that there are customers?

:31:45
- Oh, yes. Yes. I'll be right there.
- She'll be right there, ma'am.

:31:47
Uh-Uh, look, um, Mr McBride,
:31:51
- about all this being worth something -
- Mrs Hannagan!

:31:55
- (Sighs) Yeah.
- Wait a second.

:31:57
This Shoebridge son -
where do I look for him?
