00:00Borrow it?
00:01Yes.
00:02Just for a day or two.
00:03Did Fritz put you up to this?
00:05Fritz?
00:06From the Opera House archive.
00:07I told you he's been trying to get his grubby little hands on this stuff.
00:11It has nothing to do with Fritz.
00:13It's actually about the murder investigation.
00:16What would that have to do with me?
00:17I know it's silly, but there's a mark on the body that could have come from a retractable knife.
00:23Like this one.
00:27That's absurd.
00:28I know.
00:29It seems crazy, and that's why I thought, well, let's just ask him.
00:33Let's just test the knife to prove that the victim's DNA isn't on it.
00:38Oh, I see.
00:40Very clever.
00:41No.
00:42No?
00:43Why not?
00:44It would put you in the clear.
00:45I'm already in the clear.
00:47I have no motive.
00:48And how would it be possible for anyone to commit murder with a retractable knife?
00:55Ah!
00:56You see?
00:58Case closed.
01:00What does that little switch do?
01:03I don't know how it works.
01:05It's something I own for sentimental value, and not something I intend to part with.
01:10Especially without a warrant, which you won't be able to get,
01:14considering I'm just someone who happened to be sitting behind someone hours before they died.
01:20I see.
01:24Well played, Counselor.
01:26I'm sorry to have bothered you.
01:29I'm afraid, dear Elspeth, you've been listening to too much opera.
01:33Real life is a lot less dramatic than that.
01:37Adieu.
