:45:02
Bull's eye!
:45:03
Hello. Who is it? Send him right up.
:45:08
Who was that?
:45:09
Mr. MacCaulay.
:45:11
The Mallorys.
Oh, dear, I forgot all about them.
:45:14
Aren't you hot in that?
:45:15
Yes, I'm stifling. But it's so pretty.
:45:18
The Kirbys.
:45:19
Is that another Christmas present?
:45:23
- Did I give it to you?
- Yes.
:45:25
I'm spoiling you.
:45:28
Why, Nicky, this is from Clyde Wynant.
:45:31
He says, "Will you take charge
of investigation on Julia Wolf murder?
:45:34
- "Communicate with Herbert MacCaulay."
- Let me see.
:45:37
- Where's it from?
- Philadelphia. Well, then, he didn't do it.
:45:40
I don't know.
:45:42
He wouldn't ask you to handle it
if he were guilty, would he?
:45:47
Your guess is as good as mine, baby.
:45:49
Nicky, take the case.
:45:50
You take it. I'm too busy.
:45:53
- How do you do?
- Good morning.
:45:55
I'm afraid this isn't a very
merry Christmas for you.
:45:58
- He's all right.
- Good.
:45:59
- How are you, MacCaulay?
- I'm fine.
:46:02
- Sit down.
- You're coming along better than I am.
:46:04
- I hope you're not seriously hurt.
- No, just a scratch. I've forgotten it.
:46:08
- What a delightful toy.
- That's Asta's Christmas present.
:46:12
I got word from Wynant this morning.
:46:14
So did we, I mean, Sherlock here.
:46:17
- Darling, will you...
- Pass you your drink? Yes.
:46:22
Thank you.
:46:25
What are the chances
of getting you to do what he wants?
:46:28
- Slim.
- Oh, Nick.
:46:29
Well, would it help
if I could persuade him to meet you?
:46:32
It might.
:46:33
He gave me a code message
to insert in the Times...
:46:36
in case I wanted to get in touch with him.
:46:37
- I don't suppose it would hurt to put it in.
- I've done that already.
:46:41
He should appear, you know.
:46:43
It doesn't look well,
his staying away at a time like this.
:46:46
- Police.
- For me?
:46:49
Hello.
:46:51
Where?
:46:53
Allentown?
:46:55
Yes.
:46:56
When is the next train?
:46:58
Right. I'll get that.
