I'd told a dying old man that
I'd come down on a blackmailer...
:21:36
... but someone else
had done it for me with a gun.
:21:40
I was left with the book
from Geiger's bedroom.
:21:44
It seemed to be names and addresses,
all in code. Probably his customers.
:21:48
And probably Camilla Sternwood,
who he was blackmailing.
:21:54
Yeah?
:21:55
Morning, Marlowe. It's Carson.
Did you see General Sternwood?
:22:00
Uh-huh.
:22:01
Then perhaps you know
why his Bentley...
:22:04
...is washing about in the sea
near Ramsgate.
:22:06
The car's a mess,
and so is the man inside it.
:22:09
I'm driving down to take a look.
Interested?
:22:44
What's the story?
:22:46
He went through down there.
Must have hit pretty hard.
:22:49
It was high tide at one last night
and no one round here saw anything.
:22:59
Broken neck seems
to be the cause of death.
