It's a funny thing,
I found him cleaning out his desk too.

1:02:06
- Whatever for, Everett?
- I've been fired.

1:02:08
Fired?
1:02:10
Oh, I find that very hard to believe, Everett.
1:02:14
Do you? It was your aunt's request.
1:02:17
- She wouldn't even talk to me on the phone.
- Obviously, it's a mistake.

1:02:20
Obviously. We were rather close,
if you'll remember.

1:02:24
You wouldn't have any idea
why she has changed her mind about me?

1:02:27
No, no. None whatsoever.
1:02:30
Of course, it is a family corporation,
1:02:32
so she has every right
to do whatever she chooses.

1:02:36
Er, this must have fallen over.
1:02:41
Lieutenant, you take an inordinate length
of time to come to the point.

1:02:46
Well, I heard from the people
at the Pinewild sheriffs office.

1:02:51
They're going to meet us at the grade.
1:02:53
I'm awfully sorry.
Perhaps Mr Logan could go along

1:02:57
but I'm afraid I'm just much too busy
this morning to go for a long drive.

1:03:01
I see. I thought you'd want to know
what they found.

1:03:04
You are interested in
the latest developments?

1:03:07
Well, of course I am. What was it?
1:03:09
They didn't say.
They just said it was very important.

1:03:12
It seems peculiar
that they didn't say what it was.

1:03:15
Sure does. All right, Mr Logan. Let's go.
1:03:18
Fine. Doris will be at the cabin
and I want to talk with her.

1:03:21
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
1:03:23
If this does concern my uncle's death,
1:03:25
I suppose, in good conscience,
I should go along.

1:03:29
Fine. I've got the car outside.
1:03:42
- Hi, Sergeant.
- Lieutenant.

1:03:45
- Is that it?
- Yep. Pretty good shape, too, considering.

1:03:48
See up there, to the left
of the second dark crag?

1:03:51
You can't see the road from here
but it's to the left of that,

1:03:54
200 feet from where they went over.
1:03:56
It must have been blown apart
like that other stuff.

1:03:58
- Yeah. Skidded right into a crevice.
- What is it?
