:49:00
Brother, you're
a great help.

:49:02
This muriel chess
had an anklet

:49:03
that had been given to her
by somebody named chris.

:49:07
So what?
:49:08
So you figure it out.
:49:09
She's dead, and the corpse
we have here is named chris.

:49:12
I see. Any little
thing that will tie 2 deaths up together

:49:16
makes a bigger
package.

:49:17
And on a pretext
like that, you go through the joint,

:49:20
handle the gun,
collect or steal anything you can,

:49:23
and finally
get around to calling us.

:49:26
Well, i don't
buy it.

:49:27
What do i care about
a drowned dame in a lake?

:49:30
I got a body here,
and that's enough for me.

:49:32
That's all that's
in my jurisdiction.

:49:35
What's the play,
marlowe?

:49:37
You trying to cloud
the issue?

:49:38
Who are you
covering up for?

:49:40
Man: Anybody here?
:49:41
That's ed.
He's coroner this week.

:49:44
Merry christmas, ed.
:49:44
Ah, but it isn't christmas
yet, you know. Not yet.

:49:46
Well, what have we got
this time, gentlemen,

:49:48
and where
is the customer located?

:49:50
Upstairs.
I'll take you up.

:49:51
Oh, good. Man or woman?
:49:53
Man.
:49:54
Kane: You stay here.
You come with me.

:49:55
Going to be a little
tough to find out when he was killed.

:49:59
He was in the shower,
and some bright mind

:50:01
thought of leaving
the cold water trickling on him.

:50:06
Marlowe: You looked kind of
interested when i mentioned little fawn lake.

:50:11
Ever been up there?
:50:13
We ask the questions,
peeper.

:50:15
And when i mentioned
the lady in the lake,

:50:18
you looked
still more interested.

:50:20
You heard me.
:50:21
Ever hear of anybody
named mildred havelend?

:50:25
There was a fella
up there a few weeks ago

:50:27
looking
for mildred havelend.

:50:29
He acted like a cop,
i was told.

:50:31
A tough cop, with
bad manners, like you.

:50:34
What's mildred havelend
got to do with it?

:50:36
She and muriel chess
were the same girl.

:50:39
She changed her name
because she was hiding out from this tough cop.

:50:44
Does it add up?
:50:46
No.
:50:47
I think it does
because muriel chess was from bay city,

:50:50
and they gave me
a pretty good description of that cop.

:50:57
I think this female had
a shady past, and you knew something about it.
