:56:00
I can't do that even if he isn't there.
:56:02
What's he...
:56:04
Does he have a courtesy card from
the police department or something?
:56:07
Now don't get me mad.
:56:09
Not even a detective can walk
into an apartment and search it.
:56:12
If I were caught in there, they'd
have my badge within ten minutes.
:56:15
Make sure
you don't get caught, that's all.
:56:17
If you find something,
you've got a murderer,
:56:20
And they don't care about
a couple of house rules.
:56:22
If you don't find anything,
the fellow's clear.
:56:24
At the risk of sounding stuffy,
:56:26
I'd like to remind you
of the Constitution and the phrase,
:56:29
'search warrant issued by a judge "
who knows the Bill of Rights verbatim.
:56:33
- He must ask for evidence.
- Give him evidence.
:56:38
yeah, I can hear myself,
:56:40
"Your Honour, I have a friend
who's an amateur sleuth."
:56:45
"The other night, after
having a heavy dinner, he..."
:56:48
He'd throw the New York State
penal code in my face,
:56:51
And there's six volumes.
:56:53
By tomorrow morning there
may not be any evidence left
:56:56
Over in that apartment, you know that.
:56:58
It's a detective's nightmare.
:57:00
What do you need
before you can search?
:57:03
Tell me now, what do you need?
:57:04
Bloody footsteps
leading up to the door?
:57:07
One thing I don't need is heckling.
You called me and asked for help.
:57:10
Now you're behaving like a taxpayer.
:57:14
How did we ever
stand each other in that plane
:57:16
For three years during the war?
:57:19
I guess I'll go over
to the railroad station
:57:21
And check on Thorwald's story.
:57:23
Oh, forget about the story.
:57:24
Find the trunk. Mrs Thorwald's in it.
:57:27
Oh, I almost forgot.
:57:29
There was a postcard
in Thorwald's mailbox. It was...
:57:32
Mailed 3:30 yesterday
afternoon from Merritsville.
:57:35
That's 80 miles north of here.
:57:37
Message went: "Arrived OK.
:57:39
Already feeling better. Love, Anna.'
:57:45
Uh...
Is that, um...
:57:48
Anna...
Is that who I think it is?
:57:52
- Mrs Thorwald.
- Uh-huh.
:57:57
Oh, so anything you need, Jeff?
:57:59
You might send me a good detective.
