He's already on a plane
back from where he came.

:26:04
I can't answer all your questions.
I've given you a list of likely suspects.

:26:08
A clear motive.
Isn't that enough to start with?

:26:11
That's plenty. And believe me, I'm very
grateful for all the help you've given me.

:26:18
- Gee, that's funny.
- What?

:26:21
This thing is folded lengthwise, like
someone was carrying it in their pocket.

:26:26
So?
:26:29
If he typed that on that typewriter,
and I'll run a check on that,

:26:33
why would he fold it up
before he put it in that drawer?

:26:37
- Oh, I'm beginning to like you.
- Why is that?

:26:40
Because you're finally beginning
to think like Mrs Melville.

:26:44
Unfortunately, Jim used to fold up a piece of
paper and use it as a bookmark, you know.

:26:50
However interesting your observation is,
it only leads us far astray.

:26:55
However, since you are beginning
to learn how to emulate our dear lady,

:26:59
I'm gonna give you something
that you richly deserve,

:27:02
a chance to read some of our books.
:27:04
- That's very nice.
- Didn't expect gifts tonight, huh?

:27:07
Thank you.
Maybe I can pick up a few pointers.

:27:10
Oh, I'm sure you can.
:27:12
- Could you handle some more?
- All right.

:27:15
- Here you go. And an extra.
- That's very nice.

:27:18
- That should keep you busy.
- It sure will.

:27:20
- Anything else, Lieutenant?
- I don't think so. I'll let you get some sleep.

:27:25
That's very nice of you.
I hope I was of some help.

:27:28
- You certainly were.
- Good night, Lieutenant.

:27:30
Good night, sir. Oh, Mr Franklin.
:27:34
Actually, there is one thing,
not that it makes that much difference.

:27:39
What is it?
:27:41
When Mrs Ferris told you
her husband got shot,

:27:44
you jumped in a car and drove back to LA,
is that right?

:27:47
- That's right.
- You know, me, I'd have taken a plane.

:27:51
It's a big airport and they run
every half-hour. It'd have been a lot faster.

:27:56
Well, that's true, but in a situation
like that, who thinks clearly?
