00:05:51Try out.
00:06:02This way.
00:06:32This way.
00:07:02I, uh, was looking for my hotel.
00:07:20The ambassador, I thought I was in the right neighborhood.
00:07:24I asked the cab to let me out.
00:07:26Yes, I know.
00:07:27To what?
00:07:31I know what you mean.
00:07:35The rain is a deceiver, a veil over reality.
00:07:39Things don't look the same in the rain.
00:07:46In fact, it's quite easy to get lost in these streets.
00:07:50I do it all the time.
00:07:51So you lost your hotel, huh?
00:07:57Yeah.
00:08:01Maybe the hotel lost me.
00:08:06Anyway, I...
00:08:07I can't find it.
00:08:09Professional transient, are you?
00:08:14I'm, uh...
00:08:15I'm here for the Plumbers Convention.
00:08:19Universal plumbers.
00:08:20National sales reps from all over.
00:08:23We come here several times a year to catch up, you know.
00:08:26You were out seeing the sights, were you?
00:08:28I was visiting a friend.
00:08:31A friend, eh?
00:08:35We all need friends now, don't we?
00:08:38Want some coffee?
00:08:40Uh, no.
00:08:42No, thanks.
00:08:42Maybe I will have a little, if you don't mind.
00:08:50Coffee?
00:08:52Yeah.
00:08:55It's kind of cold out there in the rain.
00:08:58Drone men shouldn't be out walking around in the rain.
00:09:05Even to see friends.
00:09:12Do you live here?
00:09:17Live?
00:09:18Work?
00:09:19This is where I do my work.
00:09:22What kind of work?
00:09:24I don't think you'd be interested, really.
00:09:27Just my work.
00:09:29Oh.
00:09:32Embalming, actually.
00:09:37Embalming and such.
00:09:39I'm a mortician.
00:09:40I take care of the deceased.
00:09:45After they're dead, I get them.
00:09:48That's my work.
00:09:50I do get some of the more interesting cases.
00:09:53In fact, the most interesting.
00:09:55Unique.
00:09:59Grotesque, actually.
00:10:01At least some of them.
00:10:02Come with me.
00:10:09I'd like to show you something.
00:10:13I think I'd better get back to the hotel.
00:10:15Oh, yes.
00:10:15The one you lost.
00:10:17Meeting another friend, perhaps?
00:10:19No.
00:10:20I just...
00:10:20Oh, you must have a business meeting.
00:10:22A seminar on pipes and fitting.
00:10:24No.
00:10:25One thousand and one leaks, you should know.
00:10:27I'd better get back to the hotel.
00:10:31I have to call my wife.
00:10:32Well, I was kind enough to bring you in out of the rain,
00:10:34give you a hot cup of coffee.
00:10:37Why not stay just a few more minutes and let me show you around?
00:10:41I think you'll be interested.
00:10:47All right.
00:10:49Good.
00:10:49Good.
00:10:49Good.
00:10:57My latest clients.
00:11:22This one, for instance.
00:11:28So very interesting.
00:11:29Please, let's not be an ungrateful guest.
00:11:32I really should be going.
00:11:33I've just begun to show you around.
00:11:36There's much, much more.
00:11:40A very interesting,
00:11:45very bizarre case.
00:11:47Her name was Miss Sibbler.
00:11:57She was a teacher.
00:12:15Hi, Miss Sibbler.
00:12:17Hi, Miss Sibbler.
00:12:18Isn't she sweet?

00:20:45Oh my God!
00:20:49Children!
00:20:51Just children!
00:20:53What kind of a stupid prank is this?
00:20:57What is the matter with you? Don't you know any better?
00:21:01Stupid prank!
00:21:07More of you?
00:21:12What do you want?
00:21:14Anyone who wants to get me, please?
00:21:15No!
00:21:16No!
00:21:17Can I get the right on the list?
00:21:18I don't want you to get the right on the list.
00:21:19How the hell can I get the right?
00:21:20No!
00:21:21Oh my God!
00:21:23I'm really beautiful!
00:21:24Let's go.
00:21:54Let's go.
00:22:24Let's go.
00:22:39You don't expect me to believe that story.
00:22:42It's ridiculous.
00:22:43Perhaps.
00:22:45Yet it's all very true.
00:22:48But a woman being bitten to death by children?
00:22:53I never said children.
00:22:55I have no idea.
00:23:04I don't think anyone really knows what or why.
00:23:09She was very much a mess.
00:23:16Quite a challenge to me to make something acceptable of her.
00:23:22This is just too hard to believe.
00:23:30Possibly.
00:23:32As I told you, I do get the most interesting cases.
00:23:38You sound like you select these people.
00:23:42Everyone should be selective in what they do.
00:23:44Don't you agree?
00:23:46Take Mr. Growski here, for instance.
00:23:50He was selective in what he did.
00:23:53Though I must say he was somewhat strange.
00:23:57He had a rather abnormal predilection for cameras, photography, all that sort of thing.
00:24:06Did some very nasty things.
00:24:08Look at this.
00:24:19A movie camera.
00:24:22Looks like Billy's dip paid off.
00:24:24It's running.
00:24:25This creep's got a camera.
00:24:27Here it comes.
00:24:28Here it is.
00:24:28Is it true?
00:24:29You killed six women, Mr. Growski.
00:24:31This one is Julie.
00:24:33I met her at the library.
00:24:34She's good-looking, but, you know, she doesn't have too much upstairs.
00:24:39Hello?
00:24:40Hello.
00:24:41Oh, hi.
00:24:42Hi.
00:24:43I was just about to leave.
00:24:45I thought maybe there wasn't anybody home.
00:24:46No, I'm home.
00:24:47I was just busy.
00:24:49Come on in.
00:24:49Good.
00:24:50Um, thank you.
00:24:52Oh.
00:24:54Oh, it's so cute.
00:24:56What?
00:24:56Your apartment.
00:24:58I mean, it's really neat.
00:24:59And, uh, it's so cute.
00:25:02I'll try to keep it clean.
00:25:04Oh, sit down.
00:25:06Oh, not there.
00:25:07Um, why not?
00:25:08Here.
00:25:09Sit here.
00:25:10Okay.
00:25:11Um, I brought you some wine.
00:25:14I don't drink.
00:25:16Oh, uh, well, see, I don't really drink too much anyway either.
00:25:20But I didn't know if you'd like any or not.
00:25:22So I'll just wait.
00:25:24Doesn't matter.
00:25:26Um.
00:25:27Oh.
00:25:34It was really nice of you to invite me for dinner.
00:25:42I mean, I don't usually accept blind dates.
00:25:47How come you filmed them?
00:25:49Oh, well.
00:25:51Um, uh.
00:25:55What are you interested in?
00:25:57Photography.
00:26:06Oh.
00:26:08Wow.
00:26:10Boy, that's, they're really great.
00:26:13Mm-hmm.
00:26:14Yeah.
00:26:16Um, do you have an ashtray I could use?
00:26:18I don't smoke.
00:26:20Oh, um, uh, photography.
00:26:28Well, I mean, of course.
00:26:30There's one of your cameras right now.
00:26:32Um, just like a, a model airplane or something.
00:26:36Kind of mounted right on its own stand.
00:26:38A model airplane?
00:26:39It, it, it, it's, it's more important and expensive than any model airplane.
00:26:47It's, photography is a serious endeavor.
00:26:51Uh, hey, I didn't mean anything bad, really.
00:26:54See, I like to take snapshots, too.
00:26:56I-
00:26:57This is a motion picture camera.
00:26:59You do not take snapshots with it or any other camera.
00:27:03Photography is not just a game.
00:27:05Um, Hayley, I'm sorry.
00:27:08See, I just didn't know that it was a motion.
00:27:10I also study magic.
00:27:13Magic?
00:27:14Mm-hmm.
00:27:14Would you like to see a magic trick?
00:27:17Sure.
00:27:18You would?
00:27:19Yes.
00:27:20Okay.
00:27:20Yeah.
00:27:21I would need a, um, silk or a nylon.
00:27:26You wouldn't happen to have a nylon stocking, would you?
00:27:29Well, just the ones I'm wearing.
00:27:32I mean, I don't carry extras.
00:27:33Darn it.
00:27:35I mean, I, I really need, um, a silk stocking to do this trick.
00:27:40Um, could I borrow one of yours?
00:27:44I, I wouldn't ruin it or anything.
00:27:46You know, I, I mean, I, to do this trick, I really need a silk stocking.
00:27:51Um, how about another trick?
00:27:53No, you would really like this trick.
00:27:55Well, see, um, actually, they're attached.
00:28:01You know, they're pantyhose.
00:28:02So, you'd end up having to use both stockings anyway.
00:28:05That's all right.
00:28:06I mean, that'll, that'll work fine, even better.
00:28:09Um, uh, well, uh, I feel silly.
00:28:18No, no, that's all right.
00:28:19Don't, don't worry about a thing.
00:28:21I'll turn my back and you can slip them off.
00:28:23Okay, um, now, you promise you're not going to look or anything?
00:28:32No, I won't look.
00:28:33On my honor.
00:28:35Um, all right.
00:28:37Well, you know, I've, um, I've always been fascinated by, by magic because I always like
00:28:44to try to, to figure out how they do the trick, you know, what the secret is to it.
00:28:49And I've been to, to Vegas, you know, I go there and I've seen some of the magicians
00:28:54there and, uh, it's really, it's really interesting to me.
00:28:59But I, you know, I haven't been there, um, too recently.
00:29:03Uh, you aren't going to ruin them.
00:29:06Oh, promise.
00:29:09Okay.
00:29:09Now, okay, now, this is a disappearing trick, a marvel of prestitigitation.
00:29:25I like that kind.
00:29:27You do?
00:29:28Yeah.
00:29:28Okay, you, you just look straight ahead.
00:29:31I'm going to figure out how you do it, too.
00:29:33Okay, straight ahead.
00:29:35That's right.
00:29:36Towards the camera.
00:29:38Right.
00:29:39Okay.
00:29:40Okay.
00:29:40Now, this takes complete concentration to get the full effect.
00:29:47Now, you have to close your eyes.
00:29:49You cannot see this part.
00:29:51Um, all right.
00:29:54Abra?
00:29:56Wait, okay.
00:29:57C-a-bra.
00:29:59C-a-bra.
00:29:59Voila.
00:30:10Voila.
00:30:13Your life is gone.
00:30:15It's disappeared.
00:30:15I waited until now.
00:30:20I decided to skip all the boring formalities.
00:30:22Her name is Carol, and she's some sort of a secretary or something, you know?
00:30:29I buy all the photography books for myself.
00:30:39And?
00:30:41Oh, look at that camera.
00:30:45Boy, does that look complicated.
00:30:48Look at all the switches and gadgets and buttons.
00:30:51Hey, that's funny.
00:30:58What?
00:30:59It sounds like it's buzzing or something, kind of whirring.
00:31:02Do you hear it?
00:31:03No, it's your imagination.
00:31:06No, listen.
00:31:07It's running, isn't it?
00:31:08No.
00:31:09It's not.
00:31:14Yes, it is.
00:31:15It's running, isn't it?
00:31:16No.
00:31:17Come on, what are you doing?
00:31:18Are you filming us?
00:31:19No, no.
00:31:20What kind of thing is that?
00:31:22Now, wait a minute.
00:31:22No, you wait a minute.
00:31:24I don't go for that kind of thing.
00:31:26Now, what did you think?
00:31:26You're going to get me drunk?
00:31:27We're going to get on the couch?
00:31:28No way.
00:31:33I've known creeps like you.
00:31:34You are nuts.
00:31:35Wait a minute.
00:31:51It's been three days, but I finally found another one.
00:31:55She's a real dandy.
00:31:57You know, society type, upper crust, very rich and snooty.
00:32:05Kind of got acquainted with the Audubon Society.
00:32:11She's got the hots for me.
00:32:13I can tell.
00:32:14Probably because I bowled her over with my clever wits and subtle sexuality.
00:32:24Anyway, she's coming to see me soon, and I have to prepare.
00:32:29There's only about 100 feet of film left, so I'm going to have to work fast on this one.
00:32:36Mr. Groski.
00:32:39Mr. Groski.
00:32:41I am afraid that I'm going to have to ask you if I may borrow your telephone to call a taxi.
00:32:47No.
00:32:48I mean, that won't be necessary, Mrs. Lundquist.
00:32:55I'm afraid it will be.
00:32:56Mr. Groski, you have no reason to speak to me in that manner whatsoever.
00:33:09Mrs. Lundquist.
00:33:12Please.
00:33:13Don't.
00:33:15Call.
00:33:21No!
00:33:22A year later, he was executed.
00:33:37The state didn't allow any pictures to be taken.
00:33:40Oh, he begged them.
00:33:42How do you know all about him?
00:33:44I mean, how did you find out the details of what he did and how?
00:33:47I have police records, doctors' files, that sort of thing.
00:33:52My disposal.
00:33:55I'm a professional.
00:33:57These are my customers.
00:33:59My clients.
00:34:00I have to know all about them to take care of them properly.
00:34:04Like this one.
00:34:07One of my favorites.
00:34:10Very intriguing situation.
00:34:22Let's see.
00:34:23Let's see.
00:34:33Let's see.
00:34:37Let's see.
00:35:41Oh, Lord.
00:35:51Yes.
00:35:56Well.
00:36:13Now, from the top, first of all, Mr. Castellucci did not hang himself. He was murdered.
00:36:23I found a few small clipped hairs on his collar and the fresh scent of a tonic on his face and neck, a tonic, which Mr. Castellucci doesn't happen to possess in his vast assortment of aftershaves and polognes.
00:36:41Now, this would lead me to believe that Mr. Castellucci had recently obtained a haircut.
00:36:48And in my experience, it is very rare for a man to get a trim immediately prior to doing away with himself.
00:36:55I also found some vaguely distinguishable rope burns on his wrists.
00:37:03And a few strands of that very rope on his coat sleeve, strongly suggesting that Mr. Castellucci had no control of the method of scheduling of his premature demise.
00:37:16Also found this airline ticket dated today in his coat pocket scheduled to leave for Rome, Italy by way of New York, departing a little less than seven minutes ago.
00:37:33I strongly believe that the deceased really wouldn't have passed up the opportunity of a trip like that.
00:37:45Now, for the killer, his name is Savio Molinski, a rather well-known bow-like type character, and the only man in this town vaguely degenerate enough to smoke a revolting brand of cigar known as El Amigo.
00:38:02The ashes of which may be found in that dresser top, or this table over here.
00:38:10He can usually be found at this time of day at a filthy little dive known as Frenchy's Pool Parlor at Sixth and Franklin.
00:38:24Well, pick him up and book him.
00:38:27First degree murder.
00:38:32You can take him down now.
00:38:39He's had his hour in the public eye.
00:38:49Congratulations.
00:38:50An excellent piece of work.
00:38:52Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:38:54I rather thought so myself.
00:38:55It is not too difficult, really.
00:38:59Rather routine case, obvious clues, but it does keep the senses keen and the mind alerted.
00:39:05Something like a baseball player taking batting practice.
00:39:09Or a champion oarsman chopping about in a rowboat on a Sunday afternoon in the park.
00:39:13I don't believe I've had the pleasure.
00:39:15I don't believe you have.
00:39:16Inspector Wendell McDowell, Scotland Yard.
00:39:18Ah, England, right?
00:39:20Last time I checked, yes.
00:39:22Well, then you must be the famous Inspector McDowell, Britain's number one sleuth.
00:39:29Isn't that what you call it?
00:39:30There have been people that have phrased it that way, yes.
00:39:34In that case, you probably know that I am Chief Detective Malcolm Tolliver, America's greatest detective and master of criminal investigation.
00:39:44You honor me, sir.
00:39:44No, I respect you.
00:39:47I don't think I could ever honor you.
00:39:48All right.
00:39:49We're supposed to be rivals, aren't we?
00:39:51Oh, incorrigibly so.
00:39:54Well, how in the world did you ever find me in this squalid setting?
00:40:01I just asked at the station house and your dispatcher, a nice chap, uh, Barney, uh...
00:40:06Bernie.
00:40:07Bernie, that's right.
00:40:08He told me where I could find you.
00:40:10You mean you didn't deduce my whereabouts through calculated assemblage of relevant clues?
00:40:15No, this time I just stooped plain old common sense and asked.
00:40:18I do that, uh, quite often, actually.
00:40:20It's less dramatic, I suppose, but much more direct.
00:40:23Oh.
00:40:24Well, are you, uh, visiting here in America?
00:40:27Or are you on the track of some ruthless international lawbreaker?
00:40:32Oh, a bit of both, as a matter of fact.
00:40:35So I thought I may as well drop off and observe the master of detection at work, sort of, um, absorb a few tricks.
00:40:41Oh, Inspector, you are stretching your efforts in the art of flattery.
00:40:47Oh, hardly.
00:40:48Hardly.
00:40:49I honestly believe it couldn't hurt me to pick up a few pointers.
00:40:51After all, we are competing, uh, for the title of world's leading criminologist.
00:40:56Yes, I believe someone did phrase it that way, didn't they?
00:41:00Uh, journalist.
00:41:01Yes, I think it was Time Magazine.
00:41:03Rolling Stone.
00:41:03No, I'm certain it was Time.
00:41:06A Rolling Stone.
00:41:07It was, uh, January 7th, page 3, column 2, and the headline was in full capitals.
00:41:12Yes, yes.
00:41:14Well, uh, Mr. McDowell, shall we adjourn these premises to a more pleasant environment?
00:41:21Yeah, I do have to dash off for an apartment right now, but perhaps later.
00:41:23We could have dinner together.
00:41:25You're two steps ahead of me.
00:41:26Brilliant deduction.
00:41:27Uh, I'll see you.
00:41:28I'll see you.
00:41:28Oh, I insist.
00:41:29Well, I insist.
00:41:30Ah.
00:41:31I'll do that.
00:41:35Ah, do that.
00:42:05Ah, that's a really excellent vintage, don't you agree? Most assuredly fragrant, softly smooth yet distinctly melodious. A very refreshing analysis. Beaujolais, Les Bienvenus, 1968 or 69.
00:42:35No, definitely 69. Correct. You're very good at that. That's my job, being good at what I do, being the best.
00:42:48Well, we all try to be the best, Inspector. Spirit of competition is what keeps us going, I suppose. Absolutely, sort of. If at first you don't succeed, what?
00:43:01Speaking of success, or lack of it, I've always wanted to ask you about that infamous mail train robbery.
00:43:15How in the world did you ever crack that miserable fiasco after letting it drag on for all those weeks with no results?
00:43:26Yes, actually, you see, I had it cracked, as you say, months before. I was simply waiting for my pigeons to move into position and implicate themselves with irrefutable evidence.
00:43:37You know what I'm saying?
00:43:38Well, I couldn't run around naming names and allow them to dig in with clever attorneys and neatly constructed alibis.
00:43:48Something like that appalling situation you yourself experienced on that unfortunate jewel robbery investigation last year.
00:43:57Oh, wait, wait. That's not exactly right, Inspector. I had good reason to handle that case in an unorthodox manner.
00:44:07Really? And is this unorthodox manner, an American trait?
00:44:12Well, I suppose so. The Americans are unorthodox, Japanese inscrutable, Italians lusty, French passionate, British stuffy.
00:44:23Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:44:27Stuffy but precise.
00:44:28A message for you, sir.
00:44:30Oh, thank you, Leon.
00:44:30Thank you, Leon.
00:44:51Leon.
00:44:52who gave this to you why no one sir i found it next to the reservation book
00:45:01your name was on it so i assumed that uh of course of course uh you didn't happen to see
00:45:07someone placing it there did you no sir i left to check the kitchen and when i came back i found
00:45:13it there very good now thank you my pleasure sir there's something mysterious it's a note
00:45:21unsigned a cryptic note ah they're the best kind mr tolliver in three days someone you know will
00:45:32die a horrible death you are the only one who can prevent this tragic occurrence
00:45:41don't you think you should now it's written
00:45:43by pasting up uh letters from newspaper headlines that's a very amateurish trait
00:45:51it does uh seem to get the message across however
00:45:54elmer's glue very middle class
00:46:00bremerton paper mills new york
00:46:06uh 20 pound flat bond uh 80 percent straight pulp 15 percent dye 5 percent nylon fiber
00:46:16common
00:46:18a little too common really
00:46:21now this is going to take a bit of looking into
00:46:28i um i do have to return to london in a few days but i'd like to uh tag along on this case
00:46:35sort of observe your methods would you uh would you mind terribly
00:46:38still attempting flattery inspector
00:46:40not at all i'm just uh immensely interested
00:46:44uh you wouldn't feel threatened by my presence would you
00:46:48now you flatter yourself inspector
00:46:52you know maybe there is only room for one foremost criminologist in the world
00:46:59but being that one is not just a matter of methods
00:47:04it's the man
00:47:05the man
00:47:07and his methods
00:47:09no certainly i wouldn't feel threatened
00:47:12tag along if you like
00:47:13i'd love to have you
00:47:15maybe you will learn something
00:47:17perhaps i will
00:47:19it's the man
00:47:37it's the man
00:47:40All right, uh, Inspector.
00:47:54Apparently, the letters were cut from the following four newspapers,
00:48:01San Francisco Chronicle, the London Times, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
00:48:05and strangely enough, strangely enough, just these two letters, N, T,
00:48:13were cut from the New York Times.
00:48:20That's rather a slap in the face for the Times, isn't it?
00:48:31Would you like to take a look at this, Inspector?
00:48:34The electrolysis test for hair construction identification?
00:48:37Not really. I prefer the magnetic analysis myself.
00:48:40It's considerably more accurate.
00:49:01Find anything?
00:49:02Nothing significant.
00:49:05No fingerprints on the envelope or the letter?
00:49:08No prints.
00:49:10Just mine and Leon's.
00:49:13Obviously, we are dealing with a professional.
00:49:16And, uh, no convenient cigar ash or burnt rope's end to lead you to the identity of the fellow?
00:49:22Well, now, let's see.
00:49:25Uh, what have you got?
00:49:26You have the intended murder, and you know when that's tomorrow.
00:49:30So, uh, all you have to know now is, uh, where and, uh, how.
00:49:34And, uh, possibly why, uh, just to jolly things along a little.
00:49:38What?
00:49:39Now, look, Inspector.
00:49:40You asked if you could observe, not participate.
00:49:44Now, if you want to speculate or theorize, why don't you get yourself into another room and shout all your wins and your what's and your how's to your heart's content?
00:49:56Now, if you don't mind, I am trying to work, and I don't need all your amateur Dick Tracy suppositions and a hypothetical poppycock rattling around this laboratory!
00:50:09Well, uh, I tell you what, I, uh, I'll just sit over there and watch.
00:50:17Fine, Inspector, fine.
00:50:19You just do that.
00:50:39Oh, yes, I, uh, I got your message just as I was leaving my hotel.
00:50:59Well, come in, come in.
00:51:00I'm glad I caught you.
00:51:02Yes, I, uh, I suppose I am, too.
00:51:07Um.
00:51:09My word.
00:51:11Your police department looks after you rather handsomely, doesn't it?
00:51:15Not at all like our poor impoverished bobbies.
00:51:19Don't be deceived, Inspector.
00:51:20My salary on the force couldn't even begin to pay for this house.
00:51:25My good fortune results from the fact that I have the time and the resources to take on private cases.
00:51:31A private eye?
00:51:32Well, you can call me that if you wish.
00:51:34I prefer a private investigator.
00:51:36And your, uh, superiors have no objection?
00:51:40I have no superiors.
00:51:43Oh, yes.
00:51:45Why don't you have yourself a seat?
00:51:47How gracious.
00:51:48I called you here because I have managed to solve the mysterious case of our threatening murderer.
00:52:00I thought you might be interested.
00:52:01Ah, yes, of course.
00:52:03This is the day, isn't it?
00:52:04And I was beginning to think you were really stumped for once.
00:52:08Hardly.
00:52:10Although rather unique in its initial appearance, the case has actually turned out to be rather routine.
00:52:17As you so, uh, aptly put it, uh, yesterday, the what is apparently murder, the horrible death, as it says in the note, the when is obviously today, three days after the note's delivery.
00:52:35I'm the victim of this unsavory piece of mayhem.
00:52:40As the note says, someone that I am supposed to know is, in fact, myself.
00:52:52Yes, me.
00:52:54Now for the perpetrator, the plotter, the instigator of this vicious scheme to commit cold-blooded, premeditated murder.
00:53:05After examining certain obvious elements, elements that reek of ego and pride and lust for power, I can only come to one conclusion.
00:53:16The case is solved.
00:53:18I am the victim.
00:53:21And you, my dear inspector.
00:53:24I'm the murderer.
00:53:26Bravo.
00:53:27Well done.
00:53:29An excellent piece of investigation.
00:53:32And the weapon, of course, a gun.
00:53:34The least likely weapon to be used by Britain's leading crime fighter.
00:53:38That's why no one could possibly suspect me of killing you.
00:53:54I forgot to tell you.
00:53:57I solved the case two days ago.
00:54:01Oh, my God.
00:54:10I had a knee.
00:54:11Oh, my God.
00:54:15Oh, my God.
00:54:16What is this, Sheriff?
00:54:18Oh, my God.
00:54:20Oh, my God.
00:54:50Oh, my God.
00:55:20Oh, my God.
00:55:50Yes.
00:55:52Yes, yes.
00:55:53At least I was thoughtful enough to change the inspector's bloody shirt.
00:56:10and i tried to keep the same expression on his face a sort of clever little grin
00:56:17i suppose you're going to tell me american detective tolliver is in that coffin
00:56:26heavens no they never found enough of poor chief detective tolliver to bury

01:05:47...with the spirit of the world...
01:05:50...and the spirit of the world...
01:05:52...and you could go and play.
01:05:54Gosh, I am a beautiful man!

01:14:06I'm not stupid, you know.
01:14:14I can read Marie like a book.
01:14:17All it took was a little waiting, a little watching.
01:14:21And I knew I'd catch you both sooner or later.
01:14:26You stupid bastard.
01:14:28Don't you know any better?
01:14:51The last star of night that simply fades away.
01:15:00The crest of a wave as it washes out to sea.
01:15:05Where does it lead to, and who knows why?
01:15:11The saddest melody is the sound of goodbye.
01:15:16The end of a storm that leaves behind its tears.
01:15:26No hope in our face as it changes through the years.
01:15:31Where does it lead to, and who knows why?
01:15:36The saddest melody is the sound of goodbye.
01:15:41Gone is the magic show.
01:15:51Gone is the angels.
01:15:57Sleeping passions turn to ashes.
01:16:02Nothing's real anymore.
01:16:05The soft satin wind that leaves behind a chill
01:16:11The last autumn bud as it withers on a hill
01:16:16The distant drummer who tries to be lost
01:16:22The saddest melody is the sound of goodbye
01:16:27The saddest melody is the sound of goodbye
01:16:57The saddest melody is the sound of goodbye
