:56:00
- See, I wasn't making a joke.
- What's her name?
:56:03
I would like to discuss
some curious findings.
:56:07
- Who is this lady?
- I found here in your apartment...
:56:11
a rather troubling
piece of evidence.
:56:14
- [ Brenda ] What evidence?
- Do you recognize the
handwriting, Mr. Markovski--
:56:17
- excuse me, Mr. Silver?
- [ Albert ] This is silly. Let's go.
:56:20
No.
:56:23
- I wanna go.
- Could you please read the date for me?
:56:26
''November 1 7, 1 989.''
Albert was nine. This is his journal.
:56:30
Would you mind
reading this out loud?
:56:32
- No.
- Please.
:56:34
This stuff doesn't matter.
Let's go.
:56:37
Oh, my God.
:56:43
''I came home from school.
Mom was in the kitchen with a strange lady.
:56:47
''Mom told me to go back to my room.
I thought I was in trouble.
:56:51
''She closed my door and said,
'Purree got hit by a car and killed.'
:56:55
'And then she took me back
to the lady in the kitchen...
:56:57
'and told me to spell words
to show how I'm a good speller.
:57:00
'I said I had to go
to the bathroom.
:57:03
'I climbed out the window.
I went down the block.
:57:06
'I saw Barney playing punch ball.
He said I look sad.
:57:09
''I told him what happened to my cat.
He said, 'That's sad.'
:57:12
''Then I cried, but I tried not to show.
Some of the kids laughed.
:57:16
Barney said he cried when his dog died.
And the kids stopped laughing.''
:57:20
His cat died. He was sad.
What's your point?
:57:23
- Nothing strikes you as odd?
- See? It's nothing. Let's go.
:57:26
[ Chuckling ]
These things happen.
:57:29
Oui. C'est vrai.
The universe is cruel.
:57:31
But tell me this, Mrs. Silver, this lady
you gave the coffee to--
:57:36
Was Helen's sister. I don't remember her name.
I met her the once.
:57:39
Was there some painful thing
about this stranger...
:57:41
that required
your immediate attention?
:57:44
No. Helen wasn't home,
so I offered her sister a cup of coffee.
:57:48
But you agree that Purree
meant a great deal to Albert?
:57:51
[ Chuckles ]
You can't make a federal case out of the cat.
:57:54
Answer the question, please.
:57:56
I don't know much about the cat.
I traveled a lot for work.
:57:59
We're not talking about this anymore.
It's embarrassing me.
