:28:01
After you've finished...
:28:03
...pick up the phone and give me
a soft whistle and hang up.

:28:06
Don't speak, whatever you do.
I shan't say a word.

:28:09
When I hear your whistle,
I shall hang up and redial...

:28:12
...the correct number this time.
:28:14
I shall then talk to my boss as if nothing
had happened and return to the party.

:28:18
What happens next?. Go on.
:28:20
You'll see the suitcase here.
:28:22
It contains clothes of mine
for the cleaners.

:28:24
Open it and tip the clothes
out onto the floor.

:28:28
Then fill it with a cigarette box
and some of these cups.

:28:31
Close the lid,
but don't snap the locks.

:28:34
Then leave the suitcase there,
just as it is now.

:28:37
As if I'd left in a hurry.
:28:38
That's the idea.
Now, the window....

:28:41
If it's locked, unlock it
and leave it open.

:28:45
Then go out exactly
the same way you came in.

:28:48
-By this door?.
-Yes.

:28:50
And here's the most important thing.
:28:53
As you go out, return the key
to the place where you found it.

:28:56
-Under the stair carpet?.
-Yes.

:28:58
Yes, but what exactly is supposed
to have happened?.

:29:01
Well, they'll assume you came in
by the window.

:29:05
You thought the apartment was empty,
so you took the suitcase and went to work.

:29:09
She heard something.
:29:11
She switched on her light.
:29:13
You saw the light under the door
and hid behind the curtains.

:29:17
When she came in here, you attacked her
before she could scream.

:29:22
When you realized you'd
actually killed her...

:29:24
...you panicked, bolted through
the garden and left the loot behind.

:29:27
Just a minute.
:29:29
I'm supposed to have come in
through these windows.

:29:33
-Suppose they'd been locked.
-It wouldn't matter.

:29:36
She often walks around the garden
before she goes to bed.

:29:39
And she usually forgets to lock up
when she gets back.

:29:42
That's what I shall tell the police.
:29:44
Yes, but she may say--
:29:48
But she isn't going to say anything.
Is she?.

:29:55
All right.
:29:57
I leave the apartment.
:29:59
I put the key back under the stair carpet
and go out by the street door.
