1:21:03
He killed Wynant.
1:21:05
- Mr. Jorgensen?
- Yes?
1:21:06
You're not eating.
Don't you care for oysters?
1:21:08
Why, I was just listening
to what you had to say.
1:21:12
Good.
1:21:15
This murderer is very clever.
1:21:18
He studied this whole thing out
very carefully.
1:21:21
You'd understand that,
wouldn't you, Gilbert?
1:21:23
Yes! No!
1:21:26
He planned the whole thing beautifully.
1:21:28
After he killed Wynant...
1:21:30
he wired MacCaulay
using Wynant's name...
1:21:31
- and told him to close up the shop.
- Which I did.
1:21:34
Naturally.
1:21:37
Then he destroyed all of Wynant's clothes,
with the exception of his watch chain.
1:21:41
He figured that someday
that might come in handy.
1:21:43
Then he took Wynant's body
and buried it with another man's clothes...
1:21:47
a fat man's clothes,
to throw us off the track.
1:21:49
He even put in a belt buckle
with an "R" on it...
1:21:52
hoping we would think
it was Rosebreen...
1:21:54
an old enemy of Wynant's
who disappeared years ago.
1:21:57
Morelli, would you mind
holding your knife some other way?
1:22:01
You're worrying Gilbert.
1:22:07
If that knife is missing,
I'll look for it in your back.
1:22:11
After our hero had killed Wynant,
he had a brilliant idea.
1:22:14
He realized that he and Julia
could still collect money.
1:22:17
Wynant was supposed to be out of town,
no one knew where.
1:22:20
So our hero wrote letters to MacCaulay,
signing Wynant's name...
1:22:23
so that MacCaulay would continue
to send the money to Julia.
1:22:26
He even telephoned MacCaulay.
1:22:28
You remember that first day
you came to see me?
1:22:29
He telephoned he was in town?
1:22:30
Yes, he called while I was out.
1:22:32
Yeah, wasn't he slick about that?
1:22:34
That same afternoon,
Julia telephoned him.
1:22:38
She said you were coming, Mimi.
1:22:40
- I wanted to ask about Mr. Wynant.
- Exactly.
1:22:43
And our hero got terrified.
1:22:45
He was afraid Julia would break down
and tell you that he had murdered Wynant.
1:22:49
So he went to Julia, and he killed her.
1:22:52
And he left Wynant's watch chain
in her hand.
1:22:55
- Is this true?
- I don't know.
1:22:57
- Then why are you saying it?
- It's the only way it makes sense.
