:05:01
I just want to set you right
about something you couldn't see
:05:02
because it was smack up
against your nose.
:05:06
You think you're such a hot potato
as a claims manager...
:05:08
such a wolf on a phoney claim.
:05:11
Well, maybe you are, Keyes
:05:13
but let's take a look
at this Dietrichson claim
:05:16
Accident and Double Indemnity.
:05:19
You were pretty good
in there for a while, Keyes.
:05:22
You said it wasn't an accident. Check.
:05:26
You said it wasn't suicide. Check.
:05:29
You said it was murder.
:05:32
Check.
:05:34
You thought you had it cold, didn't you?
:05:37
All wrapped up in tissue paper,
with pink ribbons around it.
:05:40
It was perfect
:05:42
except that it wasn't,
because you made a mistake
:05:45
just one tiny little mistake.
:05:48
When it came to picking the killer,
you picked the wrong guy.
:05:53
Want to know who killed Dietrichson?
:05:57
Hold tight to that cheap cigar
of yours, Keyes.
:06:01
I killed Dietrichson.
:06:03
Me, Walter Neff
:06:05
insurance salesman, 35 years old,
unmarried, no visible scars.
:06:11
Until a little while ago, that is.
:06:15
Yes, I killed him.
:06:18
I killed him for money
:06:20
and a woman
:06:23
and I didn't get the money and I...
:06:27
didn't get the woman.
:06:30
Pretty, isn't it?
:06:45
It began last May.
:06:49
About the end of May, it was.
:06:52
I had to run out to Glendale
to deliver a policy on some dairy trucks.
:06:56
On the way back I remembered
this auto renewal on Los Feliz Blvd.
