:54:01
Pays his bills promptly
with money earned
:54:02
As a costume jewellery salesman:
wholesale.
:54:05
Kept to himself. No neighbours
got close to him or his wife.
:54:08
yeah, well, I think
they missed their chance with her.
:54:10
She never left the apartment,
until yesterday morning.
:54:13
- What time?
- 6:00am.
:54:15
6:00am.
:54:17
I think that's
about the time I fell asleep.
:54:20
Too bad.
:54:22
Thorwalds were leaving
their apartment at just that time.
:54:27
Feel a little foolish?
:54:29
No, not yet.
:54:41
- How's your wife?
- Oh, she's fine.
:54:48
Who said they left then?
:54:50
- W-Who left where?
- The Thorwalds, at 6:00am.
:54:53
Oh, the building superintendent
and two tenants.
:54:56
Flat statements, no hesitation.
They jived with the letter.
:54:59
Thorwalds were on their way
to the railroad station.
:55:02
Well, now, Tom, how could
anybody possibly guess that?
:55:05
What, did they have signs
on their luggage saying,
:55:07
'Grand Central, or bust'?
:55:09
The superintendent
met Thorwald on his way back.
:55:12
Thorwald told him that he'd put
his wife on a train to the country.
:55:15
I see. I'd say this is a pretty
convenient guy, this superintendent.
:55:18
Have you checked
his bank statements lately?
:55:22
- Huh?
- Well, what good's his information?
:55:26
It's a secondhand version of
an unsupported story by the murderer.
:55:30
Now did anybody actually see
the wife get on the train?
:55:34
I hate to remind you,
:55:35
But this all started because
you said she was murdered.
:55:38
Now, did anyone, including you,
actually see her murdered?
:55:40
What are you doing?
:55:43
Are you interested in solving
this case or making me look foolish?
:55:47
Well, if possible, both.
:55:49
Then do a good job of it.
:55:50
Go over there and search
Thorwald's apartment.
:55:52
It must be knee-deep in evidence.
:55:54
I can't do that.
:55:55
l don't mean right now,
but when he goes out for a drink,
:55:58
Or a paper, or something.
What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
