:28:00
Yeah. Mildred havelend.
Did you ever hear of her?
:28:02
Muriel chess married
your boss' caretaker
:28:04
after meeting him in a bar
in san bernardino,
:28:07
but her real name
was mildred havelend,
:28:09
and she married chess
because she wanted a place to hide.
:28:12
It seems that
a tough cop was after her.
:28:14
What's this got to do
with crystal kingsby?
:28:16
I'm coming to that.
She and muriel-
:28:18
or shall i call her
mildred-had a fight over a man.
:28:21
What man?
:28:21
The guy i was slipping
the $20 bills to
:28:23
kept claiming
he didn't know his name.
:28:25
But i suppose
you do.
:28:26
Yeah. I stopped beating
his brains out with money
:28:29
and started
snooping for myself, and look what i found.
:28:32
"To mildred
from chris."
:28:33
It was hidden in a sugar can
in mrs. Kingsby's cabin.
:28:37
There could be any
number of chrises.
:28:39
Oh, don't say
a thing like that.
:28:41
That's our boy-
lavery.
:28:42
That ties him up
with 2 missing women- crystal and muriel.
:28:45
Do you think
he drowned muriel chess?
:28:47
He would have drowned me
if there'd been any water handy.
:28:50
No, i'm sure
it must have been crystal kingsby.
:28:52
She fought with muriel
over a month ago. You just said so.
:28:55
Muriel's
been found dead, and crystal's missing.
:28:57
And from now on,
marlowe's missing.
:29:00
What's the matter now?
:29:01
Maybe crystal did it,
maybe she didn't.
:29:02
Give me the dough
i put out for expenses, and i'll go on home.
:29:05
Without finding
crystal kingsby?
:29:06
You want me to find her
just so she can be locked up?
:29:09
There wouldn't be
enough evidence.
:29:11
Maybe you could find
something else-
:29:13
a gun, maybe.
:29:14
Why don't you just
look beautiful...
:29:17
and quit worrying
about guns...
:29:19
and dead females
and missing ones...
:29:23
and that million bucks
you want to marry.
:29:25
Crystal drank a lot.
She had a violent temper.
:29:28
Start being a woman.
:29:29
Quiet down
long enough to hear your heart beat.
:29:31
You might wake up
and find it's a different world.
:29:33
I'm paying you to wake up
and find crystal kingsby.
:29:36
I don't want
to talk about that.
:29:38
I do.
:29:40
Ok.
:29:41
If that's what you want,
i'll go on with this.
:29:43
I'll go and see
lavery today.
:29:45
Lavery? Why lavery?
:29:47
He's in the middle,
isn't he?
:29:48
You want crystal
found, don't you?
:29:49
He doesn't know where
she is. You went over there once.
:29:52
This time i'll watch
his right hand.
:29:53
Stay away from lavery.
Go back to the lake.
:29:56
You did fine there.
:29:56
Ok. But only
because you're so full of persuasion.
