:48:00
The most logical place the bullet
came from...
:48:02
- Was below.
- You've got it.
:48:03
Sure I have. What have I got?
:48:07
Lieutenant, the jockey wasn't murdered.
:48:10
Suicide? You mean, he killed himself
and then hid the gun?
:48:14
No, he hid the gun
and then killed himself.
:48:16
He may have been thinking of suicide
when he went into the shower.
:48:20
Perhaps he lost his nerve.
:48:21
At all events, he wanted to get rid
of the gun.
:48:24
So he opened the cover
of the drainpipe...
:48:27
...dropped the gun down, butt first.
:48:30
The hammer of the gun hit a curve
in the drainpipe, and the gun went off.
:48:35
And when the body fell forward,
it closed the drainpipe.
:48:39
Lieutenant, you've solved it.
:48:41
Well, you've helped me. Nick,
this is one bet I don't mind losing.
:48:45
Thanks to you, I've only got
one murder on my hands.
:48:48
Will I be glad to tell that
to those newshounds.
:48:51
If there's anything I can do...
:48:53
Just one thing. Let me give the story
to the reporters...
:48:56
...and let me do it in my way.
- Pal, your way is my way.
:48:59
- What's cooking?
- Did Paul Clarke crack?
:49:01
Gentlemen, there's the gun
that killed Goldez.
:49:04
Lieutenant Abrams found it
in the drainpipe of the shower.
:49:07
Yeah?
:49:08
Whoever shot Goldez hid it there, right?
:49:10
Right! And when we find the murderer
of Goldez...
:49:13
...we'll find the murderer of Barrow too.
:49:15
Both were rubbed out
by the same guy.
:49:17
Both of them knew too much
for somebody's safety...
:49:19
...so they had to be silenced. Right?
- No... Yeah.
:49:23
- What about Paul Clarke?
- Paul's innocent.
:49:25
- He'll be released. Right, lieutenant?
- Yeah, right. No! Yeah.
:49:27
- That's all, boys.
- Thanks for the story.
:49:32
Hey, Nick. What is this?
:49:33
Lieutenant, look. Everybody but you
and me thinks that Goldez was murdered.
:49:40
Whoever killed Barrow thinks so too.
:49:42
Now, when he reads that we think...
:49:44
...the jockey's murderer
committed both crimes...
:49:47
...he may try to help us find
that murderer.
:49:49
You mean he'll try to frame
a substitute for Paul Clarke?
:49:52
Well, that's what I'm hoping.
:49:54
Now, if he snaps at our bait,
that's where you come in.
:49:56
Sure I do. Sure I do.
Where do I come in?
