:17:03
And we got him.
:17:04
You're in the clear, Mrs. Beragon.
The case is on ice.
:17:08
Well, you can go now.
:17:10
All right, men.
:17:14
Could you--?
:17:16
-Would you tell me who---?
-Who did it?
:17:18
Sure. You're entitled to know.
:17:31
No.
:17:33
No!
:17:38
Yes, he did it.
:17:40
-Your first husband. Pierce.
-No, Bert, l won't let you do this.
:17:45
And Wally Fay?
How do you know he didn't do it?
:17:47
Fay had no motive. This man had.
:17:50
You see, we start out with nothing.
:17:52
Just a corpse,
if you'll pardon the expression.
:17:55
We look at the corpse and we say,
''Why? What was the reason?''
:17:58
And when we find the reason,
we find the man that made the corpse.
:18:03
ln this case, him.
:18:06
Come on.
:18:13
-But he didn't do it. l know he didn't.
-Do you?
:18:17
The murder was committed with this.
:18:20
-Do you know who it belongs to?
-No. l don't know.
:18:23
We do. lt belongs to Pierce.
That's fact number one.
:18:27
Fact number two:
He doesn't deny killing Beragon.
:18:29
He seems to think it was a good idea.
:18:32
But he didn't. He couldn't.
He's too gentle and kind.
:18:35
Okay. He's kind and gentle.
He's wonderful.
:18:37
But if he's so wonderful, Mrs. Beragon,
why did you divorce him?
:18:46
Because l was wrong.
:18:48
lt's taken me four years to find
that out, but now l know l was wrong.
:18:52
Let's see. Four years ago he was
in the real-estate business, wasn't he?
:18:56
Yes. He and Wally Fay were partners.
For a long time they made good money.
