:08:02
- You think he killed anybody, you're crazy.
- Why?
:08:04
- He's not the type.
- Everybody's the type.
:08:07
- He couldn't kill anybody.
- Could you?
:08:09
- I have.
- Where?
:08:11
Where you get medals for it.
:08:14
I see.
:08:16
And this Mitchell boy
couldn't do that either?
:08:19
No.
:08:22
Tell me about this afternoon
when he left.
:08:24
- Nothing to tell. He left.
- What did you talk to Mrs. Mitchell about?
:08:30
According to the hotel, you called Chicago
this afternoon at 2:30...
:08:34
...and talked to a Mrs. Mitchell.
His mother?
:08:37
His wife.
:08:38
- Well?
- It was personal. It wouldn't interest you.
:08:42
Nothing interests me anymore.
:08:46
Used to, but not anymore.
:08:49
I've been at this job too long.
:08:52
I go about it the only way I know how.
:08:54
I collect all the facts possible.
Most of them are useless.
:08:58
What did you call Mrs. Mitchell about?
:09:02
She called me first. Last week. She was
worried about him. He hadn't written.
:09:07
- Why?
- I don't know.
:09:09
- Well, then guess.
- He's homesick. He's wife-sick.
:09:13
Maybe something in her letters made him
suspicious of her love life. I don't know.
:09:18
Anyway, he's got snakes. He's been nuts.
:09:21
- But not nuts enough to kill somebody.
- How was he this afternoon?
:09:25
He was trying to act like a soldier.
I think he went out to look for a girl.
:09:30
What's your name, anyway?
:09:32
Finlay.
:09:34
Look, Finlay, this sort of life
doesn't bother some soldiers.
:09:37
Doesn't bother me much.
I haven't seen my wife for two years.
:09:42
When I do, maybe we'll pick up again.
Maybe we won't.
:09:45
But I don't worry about it now.
:09:47
Mitchell isn't like that.
Mitchell isn't tough.
:09:50
He needs his wife.
:09:53
I called her and told her what I thought:
:09:55
She ought to hop a plane and come
down here and cheer him up.
