You have a pretty good memory,
Mr. Lydecker.
:04:08
I always liked that detective
with the silver shinbone.
:04:12
Thanks. I hope you won't have any reason
to change your mind about me.
:04:17
- Have you any more questions?
- Yeah,just one.
:04:20
Two years ago,
in your October 17 column...
:04:22
you started out
to write a book review...
:04:24
but at the bottom of the column, you
switched over to the Harrington murder case.
:04:28
Are the processes of the creative mind
now under thejurisdiction of the police?
:04:32
You said Harrington was rubbed out with
a shotgun loaded with buckshot...
:04:37
the way Laura Hunt was murdered
night before last.
:04:40
- Did I?
- Yeah.
:04:42
But he was really killed
with a sash weight.
:04:45
How ordinary.
My version was obviously superior.
:04:49
I never bother
with details, you know.
:04:51
I do. Well, so long.
:04:55
Mind if I go with you?
:04:58
- What for?
- Murder is my favorite crime.
:05:01
I write about it regularly...
:05:03
and I know you'll have to visit everyone
on your list of suspects.
:05:08
I'd like to study
their reactions.
:05:10
- You're on the list yourself, you know.
- Good.
:05:13
To have overlooked me
would have been a pointed insult.
:05:16
You're not the sort of man
one would insult, Mr. Lydecker.
:05:20
- Do you really suspect me?
- Yes.
:05:23
McPherson, if you know anything
about faces, look at mine.
:05:29
How singularly innocent
I look this morning.
:05:33
Have you ever seen
such candid eyes?
:05:40
Something you confiscated
in a raid on a kindergarten?
:05:44
Takes a lot of control.
Would you like to try it?
:05:48
No, thanks.
:05:50
Were you in love
with Laura Hunt, Mr. Lydecker?
:05:56
Was she in love with you?
:05:58
Laura considered me
the wisest, the wittiest...
