Escobar and Brian
robbed this man Whiting, right?
:55:06
Yeah. They killed his wife
while they were at it.
:55:09
How come they didn't take it on the lam?
How come they stuck around town?
:55:13
- Ask yourself why.
- I have asked myself.
:55:15
Ask yourself again,
'cause I'm gonna tell you the answer.
:55:18
Because they found something
besides the stamps at Whiting's.
:55:22
They found something that they could
blackmail Laura Birdwell with.
:55:26
- Are you following me?
- I'm following you.
:55:28
She said she was having
a sexual relationship with another man...
:55:33
other than her husband.
:55:35
What if the guy she's making it with...
:55:38
turned out to be Whiting?
:55:43
You didn't think of that one, did you?
What about it?
:55:50
- That's pretty good.
- Pretty good? That is fabulous.
:55:54
I mean, if I do say so myself.
:55:57
I'm gonna go down to the police station...
:56:00
and get a private detective's license.
:56:02
If we teamed up, we'd be great together.
:56:05
That's just what this town
has been waiting for.
:56:07
A broken-down old private eye
with a bum leg and a hearing aid...
:56:10
and a fruitcake like you.
:56:14
I don't know. You're not so old.
:56:18
If you lost a few pounds...
:56:22
and stopped wearing those baggy suits,
you'd look 10 years younger.
:56:27
Anyway, we'd be a team.
We'd be working together.
:56:31
Don't you get it?
:56:33
You've got the experience,
and I'm this very on-top-of-it person.
:56:36
This could be big bucks for us.
:56:38
The more I think about this,
the better an idea I think it is.
:56:43
This is the most fantastic thing.
:56:45
The apartment next door is vacant,
I just remembered.
:56:48
You could move right in there.
This could be perfect. We could...
:56:52
It would be like a duplex,
a kind of suite of offices.
:56:57
I think that would be perfect.
We could have cards printed up.
