Here he comes now.
:53:16
-Tony, hi.
-It's Eddie, sir.

:53:18
I'm Detective Martin,
this is Detective Goldberg.

:53:20
We're investigating a car accident.
Maybe you heard about it.

:53:27
Yes! On television.
:53:30
Last night. My wife....
:53:32
We said, "We have a Mercedes
and the license starts with 'R."'

:53:36
You and a lot of people.
:53:38
Going up?
:53:39
Yeah. Yes, yes, I will.
:53:42
Should we...?
:53:43
Is it bad time for you?
:53:48
We just have a few questions.
:53:51
-Was your car in use the night it happened?
-When?

:53:54
Tuesday, a week ago.
:53:55
Let me think.
:53:57
Anybody else use your car?
:53:59
My wife sometimes.
:54:01
The men at the garage.
:54:03
Parking garage? You leave your car
and they park it?

:54:06
Can we go see it?
:54:09
The car? Now?
:54:11
Since we're here.
There's certain things to look for.

:54:15
We don't find them, we're out of your hair.
:54:18
So you want to look at the car?
:54:20
I see. I see.
:54:22
We don't have a description of a driver,
so we have to look for the car.

:54:27
We're sorry for the inconvenience,
but it's routine.

:54:31
I understand.
:54:32
But if there is a routine,
then I ought to follow the routine...

:54:37
...that's appropriate to me,
to someone with a car in this situation.

:54:41
You see?
:54:43
No, I don't follow.
:54:46
If there's a routine
in an investigation like this...

:54:50
...there must also be a routine
for a person like me.

:54:54
For the owner of a car
with a license number.

:54:57
That's what I need to consider.
