even the smallest photograph...

It's strange that he was so careless
as to allow his gun to be stolen.

1:08:08
That pistol was the most famous
single symbol of his whole legend.

1:08:15
You agree with me, don't you?
1:08:23
Well, I don't know what you want me to say.
1:08:27
Well, if it was me, if it was my gun,
1:08:30
I would take very good care of that gun.
1:08:32
I'd have it in my apartment
where people could see it

1:08:35
and I would keep it polished
and I would keep it oiled

1:08:39
and I would keep it loaded.
1:08:42
And when a certain Colonel Dutton
came to see me

1:08:46
and threatened to expose me,
1:08:48
that's the gun that I would use.
1:08:53
Well, if what you say is true...
I mean, you searched!

1:08:56
- Where is that gun?
- That's what I asked myself.

1:09:00
Where is the gun?
1:09:03
Why not on public display?
Why not in a glass case?

1:09:08
Why not in front of thousands of people?
1:09:20
And after we found Colonel Dutton's
body, anybody else...

1:09:24
You, me, anybody else...
1:09:27
We'd have gotten rid of that gun.
1:09:31
We found the bullet in the victim
1:09:33
and the ballistics check
will match up the bullet with the gun.

1:09:37
But somehow, General, something told me
1:09:43
that you could never get rid of that gun.
1:09:45
It meant too much to you.
1:09:48
You couldn't even part
with a cigarette lighter.

1:09:50
No, that pearl-handled pistol
was just too tied up in your pride.

1:09:55
Because of your belief in yourself, you
thought everyone would accept your story

1:09:59
about having a duplicate made.
