:49:13
How much would it cost?
I mean, to actually dig up pile D3?
:49:17
Just for the sake of curiosity.
:49:19
A great deal more than your bank account.
:49:21
Then there's permits,
if you got permission, which is doubtful.
:49:25
Mmm. Probably be a mess, wouldn't it?
:49:28
- Well, it's a lot of concrete.
- Yeah, it sure is.
:49:31
You really believe that Beau Williamson
met with foul play, don't you?
:49:35
That's astonishing.
There's no body, no proof.
:49:38
Aside from Goldie's pathetic fraud,
no motive.
:49:41
- Well, actually, there is a motive.
- Oh?
:49:45
Oh, yes. It's in Mr Williamson's will.
:49:47
Before I dropped it off at his wife's house,
I stopped by to see my brother-in-law.
:49:53
He's an attorney. Nothing big,
you understand, but he's pretty good.
:49:59
- You've been very busy.
- It's just part of the job.
:50:02
Anyway, he tells me that there's
a very interesting clause in that will.
:50:06
And it says that if Mr Williamson dies,
:50:09
his wife, Jennifer, doesn't gain
control of the estate.
:50:15
- Is that so?
- Mmm.
:50:17
Yeah, aside from Goldie's 25%,
the entire thing goes into a trust.
:50:21
And the wife, all she gets
is the income from the interest.
:50:25
- How nice for her.
- Yeah, it's a lot of money.
:50:28
But it's less than it takes
to finance your city.
:50:31
You're proving my point, Lieutenant.
:50:33
I have no interest in seeing Beau dead.
I want the city built.
:50:37
But if he's dead and it can't be proved,
:50:40
then legally he's considered alive,
:50:42
so his wife can spend
the money without restrictions.
:50:46
She could go right ahead
and bankroll your city.
:50:50
- Quite a lawyer, your brother-in-law.
- The whole family, we're proud of him.
:50:56
If he's giving free counsel,
I hope he made another point.
:50:59
What's that?
