- Now what?
- I don't know.

:58:05
I know what you're thinking, Lieutenant.
:58:07
The gun, and now this new evidence.
:58:10
- Looks pretty bad for her.
- Yes, it does. Yes.

:58:14
I'm still convinced Edna had
absolutely nothing to do with this.

:58:18
You know, I think I agree with you.
Look at it this way.

:58:21
If she's really guilty, she's not gonna put
that paper in a garbage can, is she?

:58:26
She's probably gonna burn it
in the fireplace or somethin'.

:58:30
Yes, exactly. That's the point.
:58:32
And you know something else?
You're absolutely right about her.

:58:36
She's a... What did you say before?
:58:38
- Vulnerable.
- Yes. She's a vulnerable woman.

:58:42
- If I press her too hard she may fall apart.
- Oh, yes.

:58:46
I don't wanna make the same mistake
I made with you.

:58:50
No, sir. What I'm gonna do is this.
:58:53
I'm gonna sit on everything
until those stolen paintings show up.

:58:57
I see.
:59:01
That's the best way to handle it, right?
:59:03
Yes, yes, of course.
:59:07
I don't wanna go around pointing
my finger at anyone

:59:10
until I have an airtight case.
:59:12
- Right?
- Right.

:59:16
Er, Lieutenant, your man said that you'd...
:59:21
you'd covered every inch of the place,
did that include the inside?

:59:25
She agreed but I didn't wanna bother her.
:59:27
Don't you think you should?
I mean, for her protection.

:59:31
When you don't find the paintings
you can cross her name off.

:59:34
Neither of us thinks she's guilty
so why bother?

:59:38
For her sake, so she can be certain.
Search the house, Lieutenant.

:59:42
No, really, I think it's a waste of time.
:59:45
But if anything new comes up,
I'll let you know.

:59:56
Edna? She's utterly harmless.
:59:59
Exactly. That's why we've got to help her.
