:30:03
Absolutely.
:30:05
It really was very much
and completely that.
:30:10
Firstly, I should ask you:
:30:12
Do you have any idea
where your boyfriend might be?
:30:15
None.
:30:17
- You last saw him?
- Tuesday night.
:30:20
We'd been for dinner. We came home.
:30:23
Brian sat up drinking, and I went to bed.
:30:27
I suppose I just drank too much.
:30:28
I didn't so much go to bed as crash.
:30:31
Was Mr. McMinn in a similar condition?
:30:33
He was probably.
:30:35
I was only drinking Sea Breezes.
:30:43
You got the bruise from walking into
something while you were inebriated?
:30:47
Not from being punched by Brian?
:30:49
What's that supposed to mean?
:30:51
I'm a detective inspector, Petula.
:30:53
Do you know
what a detective inspector does?
:30:56
This is one of those police questions
you're supposed to say no to, isn't it?
:31:01
What a detective inspector does,
is he detects things.
:31:06
And then when he's successfully
detected them, he inspects them...
:31:10
...in order to establish whether or not
there was any point in detecting them.
:31:14
And from where I'm standing...
:31:16
...I can detect some bruising around
your cheekbone, consistent with a blow...
:31:21
...and discoloration around your neck,
consistent with an attempted throttling.
:31:25
I'm not being too personal, am I, Petula?
:31:27
Do you have other men in your life...
:31:30
...or does Brian get violent when he drinks?
:31:32
He doesn't.
:31:35
I don't have any other men in my life.
:31:39
So, either lover-boy hit you
and stormed out in a raging temper...
:31:44
...or you've killed him and hidden his body.
:31:47
That is just utterly...
:31:50
...and completely ridiculous!
- What is?
:31:54
That I've killed him and hidden his body.
:31:56
I know.
:31:57
I was being facetious
to stop you getting upset.
