- Mr Franklin?
- Yeah?

:47:05
- Do you have a minute?
- Is it important?

:47:08
It could be. You see, I was checking
the phone company records in San Diego.

:47:14
Why would you want to do that, Lieutenant?
:47:17
I have to do that. It's part of my job.
I got to tie up loose ends.

:47:21
Anyway, on the day of the murder,
there was a record of a call from the cabin.

:47:26
It was a call to the Ferris house
in Los Angeles.

:47:29
I see. And now you're wondering whether
I can explain that. Is that right?

:47:33
- I'm sure you can.
- You're right. I can.

:47:36
But you would've saved us a great deal
of trouble if you'd checked with Joanna first.

:47:41
She would've explained I'd spoken to her,
:47:43
telling her Jim and I had
patched up our differences.

:47:47
What do you mean by differences?
:47:49
You see, ironing out any difficulties
in a separation is never easy.

:47:53
I knew Joanna would be concerned,
and I wanted to put her mind at ease.

:47:57
Can you understand that?
:47:59
- Yeah, that's understandable.
- Fine. Is that all?

:48:02
- Yes, that's all. Right.
- Good.

:48:07
Listen. Enjoy your trip.
:48:09
Thanks very much.
:48:19
And drive carefully.
:48:21
Don't worry, Lieutenant. You can count on it.
